Tilly Makes:
Bailee Shorts Kit, Tessuti
“For a perfect finish make sure you don't skip the ironing stages”
Why I chose this kit
I loved the Paradise Patchwork fabric - it is so joyful! And the shorts are so comfy and are easy and quick to make. It was also extremely hot that day so I wanted to come into the Clothkits studio to take advantage of the air con!
Why cotton sateen?
Final thoughts
Would I make the shorts again?
Yes, although I think next on my list are the Matchy Matchy Bow Shorts. The Bailee shorts are a lovely pattern to make and not too testing. The pockets are a great detail, practical but do not add a lot of bulk. The next ones I am going to make will be in the Sorbet Stripe cotton sateen.
Enjoyed this Behind the Makes feature?
We’re all makers at Clothkits. Behind the Makes is our chance to share the projects our team are working on — from quick craft kits and weekend makes to creative experiments, useful tips and the occasional wonky stitch.
Each feature takes you behind the project, showing what we made, how it came together, what we loved, and what we’d recommend to other makers.
Is there a kit you’d love to see one of the Clothkits team make next? We’d love to hear your ideas.
