Plaid Skort (skirt and shorts)

Made this cute skort. It looks like a skirt in the front, but there are shorts underneath. Here’s how I did:

More under the cut

This project was something else. Shorts were always pretty hard for me before I found this pattern. To make this, I cut out all the normal pieces for shorts. Then, I attached the front and back pieces by the crotch. After that, I put the skirt layer in between and sewed it all together. Then, I added a waistband and inserted a zipper. Not as high waisted as I wanted because I didn’t have a longer zipper to use. Adios, amigos.
