Made these for a trip to Mexico for when i needed pants but also wanted to keep cool in the tropical climate. I used Linen and they turned out perfect!
I thought they turned out great. They fit my son great. I especially liked the front pockets. I was lucky enough to have some great tencel pants weight fabric that sewed up great. I will make some more. I think they’d be great in linen but I know my son won’t iron them…..have to find something similar
Great pattern with clear instructions. I made a pair of shorts for my son and a pair of trousers for my husband. They were great Christmas gifts!
I am an intermediate sewer and had a very hard time following this pattern. The pockets truly threw me for a loop. I had to find a YouTube and ended up having to listen to someone ramble on about everything except what she was doing. The funny thing is that the way she put the pockets together and attached to the shorts was not aligned with the instructions either.
Anyway, I finally got it figured out and they turned out to be beautiful shorts.
I had my husband try them on before finishing the waist band and they fit. Great! Once I finished the waist band they now were way too small. He has worn a 36 for ever it seems, yet the 36 in these shorts were too small. Fortunately I have a son with a smaller frame who received them as a Christmas present.
We have a full youtube video, and there is no talking, so I don't think you looked at our video. Here a link that starts at the pocket https://youtu.be/vIlG4bkP__U?t=176
AS for sizing, you can NEVER compare RTW sizing with sewing pattern sizing. you must ALWAYS measure the person before choosing the right size. We know from experience that RTW is not tru to measurement, measning a pair of pants in size 36 is usually at least 38 or 39'. This is also why we include both body and finished garment measurements. We give you all the tools to choose the right size.
The directions for this pattern were very confusing. If it weren’t for the illustrations I wouldn’t have finished them. Spent a lot of time with the seam ripper. I made the shorts and they were nice once I got them done.
