Today is just the sort of sunny day when every gal needs a pair of Pokemon shorts to slouch in! I've loved Pokemon since I was a child and wanted to be a Pokemon trainer when I grew up. I drafted the hoodie pattern a while ago, it was the first fully-drafted top I made for myself but I had some spare fabric left over so what to do but make some shorts too! Hat and pin the tail on the Pikachu left over from my hen do... I used the Stella jogging trousers pattern from Tilly and the Buttons Stretch! book, shortened the shorts and replaced the waist band with ribbing instead of fleece. I also added about 1 cm to the width of the shorts. One thing to say about the pattern is it is snug. I like a loose tracksuit trouser if it is made of fleece, otherwise it's a bit of a bulky legging. The model in the picture must have quite skinny thighs or be wearing a size or so larger than the suggested fit. This isn't too much of a problem with shorts but you may want to edit them if making full length trousers. They are also designed for short legged people, based on where the knee was supposed to come to, a 5ft10 person would have to add about 4" to the trousers so the ribbing reached the ankle. Overall though it did fit: the waist and the hip measurements were good and the shorts fit pretty well. I wonder if Pokemon Go! still works? Off the find some long grass....
