This is another project for kcwc fall 2012, I made from the left over black cotton fabric from my first project for kcwc fall 2012. I used burda magazine june 2008/ kids 3/4 pants pattern size 104. It's the same pattern that I used to make a black pants for Eduardo. I shortened the length of the pants according to the shorts size. I removed the front pockets and the side pockets. In the end I inserted elactic inside the waistband.
It's very fast project that I ever expect it. I have done this shorts for 2 hours:)

....happy sewing...
