I made a nighty from the Fabrics-store.com Harley pattern.

Of course, I made some adjustments from the pattern to personalise it by adding side slits, and rounded the hems at two lengths for the front and back.
To get the sleeves to the length I wanted I added some 1/4" horizontal pin tucks. I liked them so much I added them to my bodice too! 🪡
Instead of the back pleat, I simply gathered the fabric between the notches for a softer look. and finally, I did a little hemstitching by hand on either side of the placket down to the pin tucks.
Fabric is 100% linen also from fabrics-store.com

I made these shorts from some fabrics-store.com IL019 Asphalt 100% linen fabric.

Shorts are my favourite thing to make so this pattern is a blend of years of my favourite shorts styles mixed together. This year, I had to make my shorts a size bigger, so I got to the task of grading my pattern up. I then added the Faux fly opening from an old BurdaStyle pattern for mens pajamas.
I used a well loved pair of shorts as my style guide since I love the patch pockets on the front and back, as well as the double stitching details on the hems and pockets.

These guys are going to be worn to death come spring and summer
