Bailee Shorts in Linen

This weekend I made myself another pair of Bailee Shorts, this time in a beautiful stone washed linen I picked up at Tessuti a few weeks ago. I haven’t sewn with something with this much drape in a long time! I was nervous doing the cutting, because it felt like the fabric could easily move around beneath the pattern. The actual construction went smoothly though, and I love how they turned out. The style definitely looks better in this sort of fabric than in a stiffer cotton. Here I’ve paired it with the Arkie shirt in Liberty Tana Lawn I made a few months back.
