I have a real hankering for super-short runner shorts right now, and the fact that I want them in leathers, silks and crepes rather than the sporting materials they only seem to exist in is really not a problem at all because I'm on a mission to make my own.
After watching Dogtown & Z-Boys for the twenty-millionth time (and wondering for the fifty-millionth time how to time-travel and groupie it up for the Zephyr crew, Tony Alva in particular) I fell really hard for the classic 70's sportswear - seriously in love with everything but the zip-up track tops.
I was originally gonna make these runners in some lightweight peach silk I have lying around, but I decided in the name of all that is decent, modest and non-lingerie looking to use this leopard print cotton fabric.. the print's cute, the fabric's durable and most importantly you cannot see every crater and dimple on my bum through it (WINNING.com)
