I’ve made 3 pairs of these shorts for my husband, the first with a working fly with button, the second two, non-working fly. Instructions were easy to follow, and the shorts are comfy. I did lengthen the legs to a 5” seam. Next pair is for me!
I have made two Wardrobe By Me patterns in the last two weeks, and I really enjoyed making both of them. These shorts are a new favourite for my partner. Even though he measures slightly bigger than the 4XL size, these shorts fit nicely and he is looking forward to me making him another pair. I used a 95% cotton/ 5%elastase French terry, and this is probably what I will use when I make them again.
I made these with a bamboo French terry. My husband calls them his secret pajamas. They have side and back pockets and elastic and a drawstring to help hold them up. These are great to sew and fun to wear. I highly recommend adding this pattern to your wardrobe.
Perfect for working out or lounging around, my husband is a fan of this pattern
The new men's shorts pattern is great. Very easy to sew, it is a project that will take you very little time and he will love it! I sewed them with french terry and the result is excellent!
