I wear a lot of Sashay shorts! They are perfect for sleep, gardening, and general running around. I love them for the beach, too. The Sashay Shorts are the 50% off pattern for just over 24 more hours.

Beach weekend away in the harsh Australian sun means covering up! ☀️ I made a last minute @heyjunehandmade #laneraglan out of @boodesigns_kristie fabric, to match some @patternemporium_kate #sashayshorts ☀️ Worked a treat, as while Jim’s back is now bright red (he’s also an Englishman, so y’know 😂) I’m burn free 👌🏼👌🏼

Make from last week. I decided I needed a denim plain kinda go with everything skirt for all the prints and stuff I keep making / have planned for tops. So this is the third version of this pattern and it’s been worn a lot since. Sooo comfy! And fun in the wind hahaha. Btw - they’re shorts! Not a skirt 🤣 Pattern: #sashayshorts by @patternemporium_kate. Size 12. Full flare long length. Sway back adjustment. Added the jeans style pockets. Next time I’ll just deepen the pockets a little more so my phone doesn’t fall out as much. Thanks @maidintheshade for your help and advice! #peselfiequeen Fabric: denim look jersey from @wattlehillfabrics. It’s such a lovely fabric to sew and to wear.

I placed my first @lushfabricsaustralia after watching the release video with the new linen look knit. I loved Tracey’s outfit so much I decided to copy it. Then I loved my combo so much that I made a second set. The top is the @patternemporium_kate #timeouttank in Linen look knit and the shorts are the @patternemporium_kate #sashayshorts both pairs are double brushed poly. #isew #kariskreations #pdfpattern #projectorsewing #patternemporium #patternemporiumpattern #lushfabricsaustralia #dbp #sewingworkwear #handmadewardrobe

#sashayshorts off to a good home. Hope they fit x medium flare, longer length, with pockets (of course). Fabric @stoffstil

Scuba is a surprisingly awesome fabric for shorts. Especially ones with a little swing. The scuba has a gorgeous amount of body so that the shorts maintain the swing shape. This is one of my most favourite fabrics ever. I wish i had more - I only have such a tiny piece left. It's from @moodfabrics #patternemporium #scuba #swingshorts #sashayshorts #sewingshorts #sewingknits #sewist #summershorts #sewingforsummer #sewist #sewingforme

Tried @patternemporium_kate #sashayshorts pattern and love the pattern. Whipped up these shorts in 10minutes flat. Super floaty and comfy. Perfect for sticky hot brissy days.

Note à moi même une jambe coupé en une seule pièce engendre une rotation des motifs du tissu... Me voilà donc avec un short à motifs parfaitement perpendiculaires. C'est comment dire...original mais portable !

Shorts that look like a skirt for Haley. Anything to get this girl to dress up is a win! #pesashayshorts #sashayshorts #patternemporium #patternemporiumpattern #patternemporiumpatterns

Summer shorts from 2020 😂 Pattern is sashay shorts from @patternemporium_kate and fabric is a swim from a destash lol. #sashayshorts #patternemporium #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #imadethis

#sewhappy today. It’s kinda grey and it’s muggy as and I’m still on a run of veeeery early mornings with Master 2 and can’t concentrate at work. BUT this outfit makes me feel spritely and young and carefree. It’s fun and makes me smile! @maidintheshade can’t believe I ever thought these fabulous shorts were too short! Top, shorts and knickers all #memade (coz let’s face it, comfy knickers make a world of difference 😂) Top: #seamworkadria by @seamwork in linen from @spotlightstores Shorts: #sashayshorts by @patternemporium_kate in denim look jersey from @wattlehillfabrics Knickers: #acaciaundies by @megannielsenpatterns - so good!

Two pairs of #sashayshorts by #patternemporium made for #teleworking during an endless #heatwave. Love them!!! Making the pockets takes twice as much time as the rest of the shorts, but they are so worth it! #pepatterns @patternemporium_kate

Gave in and tried full length Sashays. Wow, not only do they conceal all my heavy-snacking sins, they feel so spectacularly glamorous to stroll around in! I added about 19" to the length, and also added outer side seams and got these from 2 yards.

Such a delightful pic 🤦🏻‍♀️ this is the second version of the @patternemporium_kate #sashayshorts. Medium flare, swim length, size 12. Sway back adjustment. I wore them on the weekend to the pool (to do laps with my matching new swimmers) and felt like I was in some sort of glamorous swim dress as it swished a little about me as I swam. Fabric: @libertyfabrics swim fabric in sale from @wearethefabricstore. Not my colour but great for practicing and getting my confidence up for swim fabrics.

so on wednesday we noticed that water was coming from the flat above. we are facing major renovations in the following weeks. no naps in kindergarten due to corona, which means less hours at work for me. and then yesterday a wasp flew under my new #sashayshorts and my bumcheeks were stung. multiple times. what a shit shit week this has been so far. happy friday 😭

When you're meant to be packing but the fabric is calling... These cute Sashay shorts will be perfectly cool for Christmas day. Lucky they're a quick sew!! #TanMadeAustralia #sashayshorts #christmassewing #stripematching #selfishsewing #festivespirit #celebratetheseason #handmadeforchristmas #handmade #lastminutesewing #shouldbepacking #holidayfeels #peselfiequeen

Mijn favoriete paar shorts: Sashay short van Pattern Emporium in een lycra van Royal Look. 2de stofje ligt ook al klaar om te verwerken… Some @patternemporium_kate Sashay Shorts for this summer 😍 Medium flare, yoga style waistband, long version, no hemming (lycra) #pesashayshorts #sashayshorts #patternemporium #selfishsewing #sewingforsummer #royallookfabrics #lycra #leopard

First make of 2022! New pj shorts! These are the Pattern Emporium Sashay shorts, medium flare, in lovely soft cotton modal jersey from Blackbird Fabrics. They match a Lago tank I made from the same fabric. This was my first time making this pattern and I love it - the shorts look almost like a skirt on and are so flattering and comfortable. I added a waist tie and I also got a bit confused by the fact that the waistband pattern piece was shorter than the elastic, so I lengthened it by a random amount. #patternemporium #pesashayshorts #sashayshorts #blackbirdfabrics #bfcottonmodaljersey #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #addictedtosewing #canberrasews #cbrsews #handmadewardrobe #imadeit #sewingaddict #sewingismysuperpower #australiasews #memade #memadeeveryday #ithaspockets #sewingbasics #lovetosew #sewover40 #milennialsewing #sewingmama

My #makenine2020. 7.5/9 complete. The blank spot was for mum, I had planned a garment for her but she couldn’t settle on anything 🤷🏻‍♀️. Pretty happy with that for my first go at this challenge and trying to be a bit more focused and directed with making my #memadewardrobe. And 5 of these have been in regular rotation so that’s a win for my planning skills (which usually aren’t great!). I’ve sewn on and off since a kid but at the end of 2019 decided to get back into it and focus on a #handmadewardrobe to create a space for me to escape and think and express myself creatively and simply just to be. A place where I’m not a wife, mother, a researcher, a nurse, student, teacher, chronically ill, and everything else that pulls at my time and my space. A place to savour the act of creating and truly being #dasein. I love LOVE wearing my #memade garments. I feel so empowered and good and confident in them. Bring on next year! Patterns left to right. 1 - #peppermintplaysuit by @inthefolds and @peppermintmagazine. So fun and comfy! 2 - #pippipinafore by @jenniferlaurenhandmade. Lovey pattern but I need to tweak this pattern before I try it again. 3 - #helendress by @dibyclub. So so comfy and perfect to throw on and feel put together. Already have 2 versions and another planned #tntpattern. 4 - #mntania by @megannielsenpatterns. Another #tntpattern for me. Already have 2 of these and more planned, such a great pattern! 5 - #peppermintwraptop by @inthefolds and @peppermintmagazine. I was defeated by the not-so-obvious-wrong-side-of-the-fabric. Looking forward to finishing this when the weather cools down again. 6 - the mystery spot for mum’s nonexistent make 😂 7 - #ameliaswimsuit by @dibyclub. My first adventure into sewing swimwear. Huge confidence boost! 8 - #sashayshorts by @patternemporium_kate. So so comfy! 9 - #pleatstomeetyoupants by @patternemporium_kate. I wore these all winter. So comfy! #australiasews #newcastlesews #newcastlememade #isewmyownclothes #sewingismytherapy #sewingmama #sewdisabled #sewingphd #phdlife

Hacked, mashed up pattern creation. I used the @georgeandgingerpatternco starstruck bodice, lengthened the waist band piece, then added the @patternemporium_kate sashay shorts to make a super comfy summer romper. Fabric is a Ponte from @califabrics lined with cotton Lycra for extra support. #georgeandgingerpatternco #starstruck #peselfiequeen #patternemporium #sashayshorts #patternmash #patternhack #imademyclothes #handmade #sewing #califabrics #romper #summersewing

wohoo! my first @truebias #ogdencami made out of #riflepapercofabric leftovers from another dress AND my first @patternemporium_kate #sashayshorts - i lengthened the shorts about 10 cm and didnt do a hem 🤫 i used the middle width of the pattern, straight size 14. its a wonderful tencel modal fabric thats flowey AF. i think these would be good for ladies that use bikes! don‘t use the slides though, i burned my bum today while sliding but thats a story for another time. the other slides show the @elbe_textiles #triggshorts i made for flo out of the wonderful @lidanistore cotton (i made emerson crop pants out of this fabric and flo got these from the leftovers). 2,5 m of fabric got us two trousers! wohoo!

Week 4 of The Aussie 52 week sewing challenge and this week we are attempting swim 😬🏄‍♀️ I've used a Boo designs butterfly panel and made Pattern Emporium sashay shorts in slim flare and short length.

Cousettes du samedi sous le soleil du dimanche ! Hearlight skirt @patternemporium_kate taille 10 longueur entre mini et knee lenght Jersey de viscose sara @avrilfabrics Finalement pas assez de tissu pour faire la jupe longue et la longueur midi ne me va pas donc... un petit haut assorti est en cours de couture. Sashay shorts @patternemporium_kate taille 10 longueur short Jersey Harold @avrilfabrics avec ma superbe bourde de motifs. J'adore la forme. Il mériterait d'être un petit peu plus long mais c'est tout ce que me permettait mon coupon de 85 cm. Pour celles qui auraient la même idée que moi je penses qu'il faut couper les pièces tête-bêche (je vais tester en imprimant le patron en mini pour être sure). Tee-shirt chiné en vide-grenier que j'ai raccourci de 6 cm pour qu'il convienne mieux à ma morphologie.
