After seeing how easy it was to make the Pattern Emporium Sashay Stretch Flared Shorts<\/a> for my rainbow Pride outfi<\/a>t, I decided to make another pair, this time in dusty sage Pylos Liknit<\/a>, in the longer length, and with pockets. I followed the pattern instructions to add jeans-style pockets, but I decided not to add the extra quarter-inch for seam allowance (as I felt it was plenty roomy) and I adjusted the pocket opening so it would not dip so low. I used the AU10 pattern with the full skirt option and a 1.5″ elastic covered waistband. This one also went together quickly, but the addition of the pockets and hemming probably doubled the construction time. I used 1 1\/4 yards of 58″ fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the way the LiKnit fabric works for this skort: it is lightweight and swishy. This is a pattern for knits and the LiKnit is a two-way stretch knit, but it looks a lot like a woven. It also has enough stability that the pockets work well. This should be cool to wear on hot summer days, but this week I wore it to work with the sweater pictured above (Pattern Emporium Sweet Cheeks sweater<\/a> in versailles brushed hacci sweater knit), tights, and rain boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
