Hello.. I made two shorts for my son, one in grey colour and another in wine colour.

Here is my pattern piece, instead of having two pieces of patterns I have on...

I have no difficulty because I already made the first shorts for my son Halloween costume, you can pop over here if you are interested -  Mickey Mouse Costume . I worked on the pattern first, by glued the two pieces of the front and bac...
