Jolly Holiday Shorts

I've had scallops on the brain lately, I just couldn't decide where I wanted to put them.  On a skirt hem?  A waistband?  A neckline?  Finally, I found some inspiration in some denim fabric I've been hoarding for months now, and came up with these:

I adore them.  It was my first time ever trying something like a scalloped hem, and it wasn't as daunting as I thought it might be!  Since these aren't exactly work appropriate, I haven't worn them out and about just yet, but hopefully I'll have a first wear this weekend (and let you know what my final verdict is!).

Pattern:  McCall's 5391 (also used for these and these)
Scallop Tutorial
Fabric:  Denim from Fabric.com
Soundtrack:  Show tunes on Pandora; specifically "Jolly Holiday with Mary" from Mary Poppins!

    I believe those are scalloped shorts. So, naturally, I concluded from this that you are a supermodel and therefore more than qualified to be on dtws.
