Boldly going where we've gone before

It's déjà vu in blue, dear readers.

I've been loving my Tigerlily Mk II shorts so much, that it made sense to try and squeeze another out of the leftover fabric... I made these inbetween starting and finishing my Blue Belladone robe, so you may recognise that dastardly rogue silk chiffon trim?

Keeping in line with my stash and scrap busting, I managed to squeeze some more pocket bags out of my leftover white cotton voile - awesome.

I did do a few things differently this time though... I whacked some white grosgrain ribbon into the waistband to provide a bit more stability, I sewed the button holes BEFORE sewing the waistband onto the shorts (great because the lack of bulk made for beautiful buttonholes), and I eliminated the ties at the leg for a band for a more streamlined look.  I also changed the orientation of the waistband a bit... but that wasn't actually planned, I just wasn't thinking when I started sewing. That's always a bad sign. I think I prefer the waistband on the original pair.

You can read all about my first pair of Tigerlily shorts here. It's a text light post today so I can maximise my time in the sewing room... so many ideas, so little time. So - if you'll excuse me!
