finally done
...and ready to wear!
...and ready to wear!
... Remember many moons ago when I stained with tea a pair of khaki shorts gone bad?
... Since the tea stain was a success, I decided to give them a "facelift" and this is how they turned out after I started to work on these, but for one reason or another, being left in a corner for almost a month.
Yesterday we had a thunderstorm here, and then it was a little too cold and foggy for the beach: perfect day to finish my project!

Inspired by a pair of Gryphon shorts, I got my sequins, beads and thread out and started sewing.
After being done with the first leg, I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the other leg symmetric or not.
I opted out for a non-symmetry since I know myself well enough that if it didn't turned out exactly 100% symmetric it would drive me insane. (OCD, anyone?)
Random is a better option, sometimes!!

Love it! I'm going to start beading a belly dance costume soon and will be using sequins and beads as well. I might have to practice on some shorts too!
