#Fridaysews #Simplicity #fashion #handmade #memade #beachshorts #summersets #Cruisewear #summerfashion #summer #fashion #upcycle #sewingtips #youcanmakeit I made these trendy beach, poolside, stripped shorts from a beach towel for vacation this summer. Summer vacation is my favorite and this year I wanted a matching cord set for both the beach and to wear as I lounge at the pool. These trendy shorts are amazing with their patch pockets, elastic waist and absorbent cotton toweling. The front tie top is perfect this summer alone or over a swim suit top. The patterns are McCalls 8063 Top view A and McCalls 8563 Shorts view A. This is a beginning friendly set for both experienced and new sewest. 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀 Fabric Online: https://www.etsy.com/listing/996206786/crafters-bundle-organic-fabric-scraps Vogue Fabric www.voguefabricsstore.com Spoonflower Fabrics www.spoonflower.com Mood Fabrics www.moodfabrics.com Blue Moon Fabrics www.bluemoonfabrics.com Etsy www.etsy.com Core Fabrics www.corefabrics.com Amazon www.amazon.com Fashion Fabrics Club www.fashionfabricsclub.com https://bookwhen.com/s...​ Tulla Pink Website www.tullapink.com https://sallietomato.com/ #fridaysews #Simplicity #winter #handmade MENTIONED: Freepeople.com Anthropologie.com www.hobbs.com MORE VIDEOS TO WATCH ON MY CHANNEL : ❤️Self Drafted Spring Tops https://youtu.be/oK-9cU2idKg?si=Dk5TrCCguv4Vfzlt 🩷Sewing an Anthroplogie Style Top https://youtu.be/Mz2cHR4A6KE?si=amDqONOFimNqTod2 ❤️https://www.youtube.com/live/Bfk15aI3ADQ?si=zVkjEn2pbuhc-MBE JoAnn Fabric Sale and Haul https://youtu.be/Xlve-IYQR2Q?si=PUUZOyszuGXWRjZD Upcycle Carribean Cruise https://youtu.be/-UyOYt-F9PE?si=bSa2HQb_nwfKjivj Tour of my Tiny Sewing Trailer https://youtu.be/ypG4Lij-61U?si=V0edyonHraxI7Bbt Channels I follow: COME FOLLOW ME: Instagram: Lesley_thesewingcircle Want to send me mail?

About This Video

In this Friday Sews, I’m sharing one of my favorite kinds of makes—an easy, trendy vacation set that starts with something unexpected: Walmart beach towels. I wanted a matching little cord set for summer (because vacation is my happy place), and towel fabric is just perfect for beach and pool lounging. I walk you through how I turned striped cotton toweling into comfy shorts with patch pockets and an elastic waist, plus a cute front-tie top that’s great on its own or layered over a swimsuit top. For the patterns, I used McCalls 8063 (Top view A) and McCalls 8563 (Shorts view A). The big takeaway is that you don’t need fancy fabric to get that boutique, cruise-wear look—just a good plan and a pattern you can trust. This is a beginner-friendly sew, but it still feels polished and “put together,” especially as a matching set. If you love thrift flips, upcycles, and practical makes you’ll actually wear, this one’s for you.
