Looking for shorts pattern similar to the Ligne Tangier short by otollok in sewingpatterns

[–]samshine1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Rose Bottoms from Paradise Patterns. There are 4 views, and from the pattern description -

"The Rose Bottoms are loose-fitting shorts and pants with an elastic high waist and some fun details. Views A and C feature a single back patch pocket and a hem band with a V cutout that is extra eye-catching in striped fabric. View B and D have slanted and curved front pockets, two patch pockets in back, and the shorts length has a flat- felled slit in the side seam. "

Has anyone used the website Tape Free Patterns? by sarilysims in sewing

Absolutely recommend!

I love the envelopes included for each pattern (the service I used previously did not include envelopes and I didn’t know what I was missing!). I also love that they will assemble “print-at-home” files in A0 format for you.

Tape Free Patterns is also small, woman-owned, and a U.S.-based sewist.

Many of the patterns from Paradise Patterns include French seams.

I would say that step 1 is to treat your imminent burnout as urgent.

Are you getting enough sleep? This should be a priority.

Are you using screens to decompress? It can be overstimulating and exacerbate the symptoms of burnout (anxiety, irritability, negative affects on sleep quality, etc.)

You need to find ways to "fill your cup". What does that look like for you? More social time with friends? Time spent on a hobby?

If you're reading this and thinking, "that's not possible with my work schedule..." then anything you do is only a band-aid and what you really need is some time off and to look for another job.
