Summer Shorts sewing pattern A Unisex Pattern

Summer shorts

Great pattern, super easy and quick to sew. Will definitely be making more.

Super easy

Nice quick shorts pattern Used when we had a little heatwave as of could run these up as needed

Decent results, messy pattern and instructions

This pattern does make a decent pair of shorts, but there are a number of issues that would make me hesitant to recommend it to someone who isn't experienced with sewing and can notice and correct these issues. - The size range is large, but the body dimensions for each size are not standard, with fairly average figures spanning two sizes. This is, however, mitigated by the elastic waist. - The shorts used about a quarter yard more fabric than stated for size M, even with shortening the inseam and an efficient cutting layout. - Contrary to the description, there isn't a video tutorial for this pattern, only for a similarly-constructed pair of pants, which does have some differences in the construction, albeit nothing major. The video is fast paced, with some steps only having a second of video time, and is not made with contrasting thread, so it's not always easy to see what's going on. - The written instructions are a hasty adaptation of instructions from a different pattern, with some references to the other garment left over. - The projector pattern has an error in the pocket opening interfacing. The pieces are rotated instead of flipped, so you end up with two identical pieces instead of mirrored. - The interfacing for the back pockets is missing from the parts list in the instructions, and is not separately drawn in the pattern. - The waistband is drafted so narrow that I found it almost impossible to get the directed waistband width into—I had to unpick and adjust the construction to widen it and make it fit.
