About:Â
The Midsummer pattern is so near and dear to my heart. Not only is it beyond comfortable in all lengths, perfect for hot weather, great for lounging or a unique style for dressing up, it was the very first pattern I wanted to make. It took me three years to finally make it happen and I could not be more excited to get to share this pattern with the world. I love it as pants with sandals, a cute top and fun accessories. I love it as shorts with chucks and a t-shirt. This pattern is so versatile in style and season!
Difficulty:Â Beginner
Techniques Involved:Â Basting, finishing raw edges, adding lace to a hem, inserting elastic, hemming, adding a waistband

This is another GREAT SUAT pattern! It goes together so easily, and it looks adorable! Helpful hint: A coverstitch machine makes this go MUCH faster with the amount of hemming that needs to be done all around the legs. Because it’s made with knit fabric though, you can get away with not hemming it if that’s your preference!
