The shorts are a pattern I posted quite some time ago, as part of the retro bikini outfit, but the T-shirt and clutch are newer patterns.
To make the T-shirt, you’ll need some jersey fabric and some Dritz size 2/0 snaps. The clutch purse takes a smaller snap, size 4/0.
The shorts will require some cotton small-print fabric and a bit of 1/8 inch wide elastic. I recommend Elastic by the Yard for your narrow elastics. I’ve had a lot of success with their products.
The clutch purse can be made using solid color fabric in a cotton or a cotton/polyester blend for the whole thing, but I had a lot of fun giving mine a printed cotton lining!
