The trick is to make sure that the width of the bottom of the shorts, after the legs are cut off, is as close as humanly possible to the width of the top of the trapezoids which makeup the skirt itself. I think I used 8 panels. The hem is serged but not hemmed since these are mostly for hanging around the house. I could go to the hardware store in them, but not church, I'm thinking.
They were fun to make! I hope you are also having fun with some creativity these days!
