I got a bunch of shirts for really cheap from a second-hand distribution center (and one shirt that I found in the trash) that were too big for me or ugly, in my opinion. So I used their fabric to make some shorts! I first cut them up into strips and then sewed them together in an alternating pattern. Then, I made a pattern by tracing a pair of shorts I already had. I used that pattern to cut out the new striped fabric I made and then I sewed the shorts together. These were perfect for a lot of the events I worked during the summer of 2021. I worked with Orientation and Transition Experiences at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I helped them facilitate events for the incoming students.
