Fabric Recommendations
The Sport Shorts are a scrap busting project! This pattern is a great opportunity to dive into your stash and have fun pairing unexpected prints/color together. Any light-mid weight woven fabric works great. If you are using a heavier fabric, consider making your binding out of something lighter otherwise it may get bulky.
