In this video I’m sharing how I made my apron pocket shorts (or pants) using McCalls 8053 and some gorgeous washed linen from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. I walk you through the overall idea of the make—why I chose linen, what I love about that apron-pocket look, and how I’m aiming for that comfy-but-cute vibe that works for real life sewing days. If you’ve been wanting a pair of handmade shorts that feel a little special (but still practical), this is such a fun one. I also chat about Matchy Matchy Sewing Club and point you to a free pattern you can grab—the Craft Studio Tee PDF—because I know we all love a good freebie to mix into the sewing plans. And since it’s a Friday Sews style video, I’ve got the giveaway details in here too: this week’s prize is McCalls 8104 (sizes 6–14), and I explain exactly how to enter (U.S. and Canada only), when to comment, and when I’ll draw the winner. Cozy sewing chat, pretty linen, and a pattern giveaway—come sew with me.
