Summer will be here before we know it!!! At least, I keep telling myself that as I blow hot air into my hands trying to warm them up at the bus stop – lol. And we all need new shorts for Summer. Shorts to be active in, shorts to lie around the house in, shorts to go to the beach in, and shorts to just simply wear whenever. Gah – Summer is the best. That is just one of the reasons why I love my new gym shorts – they can be worn for so many things!
After all, you guys already know how much I love doing everything around town in my ACTIVE WEAR. That clip never gets old.

oh I love them! How organised too, prepping for summer, I feel quiet inspired. xxx
These shorts are great! Let’s change the name from ‘jogging shorts’ to “I really, really hate exercising so I’ll just dress like I work out instead of actually working out.” Yeah, because I hate the gym!
This is great! I never have shorts. I don’t really wear them, but I often wish I had a couple of pairs. I think I’ll give this pattern a try.
What type of bias tape did you use , single fold or double?
Hi,. Thought i would try these shorts for my grand girls. What size bias tape did you use? Thank you
