knittingbansheeI finally got around to sewing the Shenanigans Skort from 5 out of 4 patterns. And I love it!
I made a size 3XL at the waist, going to 4XL at the hips, 7” inseam shorts, prudent length skirt with flounce. I did a medium rise shorts and skirts, and added two placket pockets to the shorts without flaps.
Overall, mighty comfortable, and long enough to wear to work, which is a plus. Not that we are planning to go back to the office any time soon. I made the shorts and the flounder in the same fabric, and the skirt and waistband in a different one - a lovely gaming fabric.
Things I’ll do differently next time:

Things I’ll do differently next time:
- Low rise for both shorts and skirt, so that it sits below my tummy.
- Longer shorts. 7” is just barely enough for me, as I need the shorts to avoid chaffing. Probably 10” would be better.
- Put the pockets in from the start, rather than figure out later on that I really, really want to have pockets
- Maybe add some pockets on the side seams of the skirts. They may need to be suspended from the waistband to avoid them rattling around.
