It's a great pattern and one that I'll definitely make again, with a few tweaks!

I made these for my daughter - I love the fact that they come in different heights, makes life a bit easier! I did the short tulip hem in a light weight cotton and they are fantastic. I rarely follow instructions because I've been sewing for so long so I couldn't comment on them, but I did find the fit a little undergenerous for the back - I think next time I'll do a full seat adjustment and probably mash together sizes to have increased give in the elastic part of the waistband, but otherwise they were great. I'd really also appreciate a no seam allowance version contained within the layers as sewing is easier where I can use my own judgement for the allowances needed - I often find that US patterns include seam allowances which are over generous.
Other than that, it's a great pattern and one that I'll definitely make again - maybe next time as swim shorts?

Great pattern!

Excellent design. Great fit with no adjustments. Flattering style. Easy make! Can you tell I love this pattern? I've made at least 5 pairs of shorts and they have has become my go-to summer bottoms. I prefer the straight sides and a bit longer length. A Dead Bang Winner!

Not the best fit

I was so hopeful for this pattern, but find the fit a little off. The directions for the back elastic makes the waist too tight...I had to add 4 inches to the elastic after ripping out the waistband seam! Cutting out the fabric for the views was a little confusing. Wish separate pattern pieces were made for the different views rather than following various lines on the front, back and side pieces.

En cours mais erreur dans le tutorial .....

le modèle est très joli et je suis en cours de réalisation. Cependant je pense qu'il y a une erreur de nomination p17 du tutorial des pièces pour la poche zippée. D'après le tuto il faut prendre les pièces 10 et 11 or il s'agit des pièces 11 et 12.

Great fit, easy sew

I wasn’t sure about making shorts as it’s a long time since I’ve worn them, and I’m somewhat larger than I used to be. I made a wearable toile from cotton drill and was absolutely thrilled with the fit and sizing! I made another pair from cotton drill with both pocket styles (bit tricky but easily done with care), and a pair using houndstooth linen. I brought them all on holiday with me to Italy, couldn’t be happier with them!
