For the Bixa top, I simply discarded the extra length that can be added to create a long sleeve.
The Ixia shorts can be made by simply shortening the legging to your desired length. I also went up one size on my pattern because a wanted a slightly more relaxed fit.
How do you plan to rock your short set? Sneakers or heels? Adding a few accessories will make this look anything but basic!!

Great comfort look. Like that you can dress up or down.
Thanks Regina! It’s super comfy and the fabric is yummy! 🙂
Great look!
Love the strappy coordinating heels! Elevates the ensemble for a fresh, afternoon/ early evening look. Thanks for the inspiration and pattern!
cannot get the shorts to send to my email it just keeps sending me the shirt 🙁
Hi there! You can download the leggings pattern here. 🙂
Hi I’m having trouble printing the pattern.
I’m using letter size paper and printing at actual size.. Is there suppose to be blank border, or should the pattern go all the way to the edge of the paper?
Hi Bre, there should be a border at the right and lower edge – this is where the next pages overlap and allow you to tape them together.
Hi Courtney! On a Mac, there isn’t an option to “print actual size” would scaling to 100% be the same?
Hi Christina! Most likely, but I’d print the first test page at 100% before anything else so you can make sure that the square logo is an accurate 2″. 🙂
Thanks! And this pattern is a 5/8” seam allowance correct?
You’re very welcome! And our patterns include a 1/2″ seam allowance. 🙂
