This is a great fitting pattern that looks good! I made view A of the shorts and they were SO easy to put together.
The instructions and illustrations are so clear it’s nigh on impossible to go wrong.
Also the shorts fit me perfectly right off the pattern without the need for adjustments. Happily, even if I do need any tweaks, such as blending sizes, in the future the instructions walk you through what you need to do.

This is another great Itch to Stitch pattern! The finishing result of very comfortable and I was able to complete this in less than a day from cutting out to completion, including with children about!

Very nice pattern (which I modified a bit to make a round hem, more like a normal skirt) and easy to follow step-by-step description, I am very happy with the result! I had a little trouble finding my size, though, as I am not familiar with the US sizes. One little damper: I prefer patterns not including seam allowance, but this would not stop me from shopping on this site again 😉

Just like the shorts, not the short.

I made the flat front shorts with a bottom weight Tencel twill. The fit was perfect on the first try— comfortable, flattering, and easy to make. My only adjustment was to widen the waistband to accommodate 1.5 inch elastic, because that’s what what I had on hand. I like the elastic width, so when I make them again, I will probably just stick with that.

I love, love, love these shorts. The pattern was well designed, all the pieces fit well together and the instructions were detailed and clear. Assembly was fast and easy. And the shorts fit beautifully, the most comfortable shorts I’ve ever worn, including ready made shorts.

Worth every penny

Took me a few times reading through the pattern to get it right but love how they turned out

I LOVE this pattern. Great instructions, plus you appear to draft for my body type. Awesome! I’m so excited to try more patterns!

I’m an absolute beginner and self-taught sewist. I found the pattern to be well drafted, and the instructions are very clear with wonderful illustrations. My hip measurement placed me at size 10 but I wanted a more fitted garment, hence I made the size 8. Perfect fit, no mods made ( I wouldn’t know how to make fitting adjustments anyway) This is my first shorts, and pockets, and elastic waist and I’m giddily amazed with the results. Thank you Ms. Wong for this top notch pattern.

Love the pattern. Ready to sew in real fabric.

I did a pair of shorts in a cotton first to check sizing and then made the skort in a knit. I think I will go down one size if making in a knit again. Pattern was easy to follow.

I made view D for my teenage daughter and we are both thrilled with them! The instructions were very clear. I am part of a sewing class, but normally rely on my sewing teacher telling me what the next step is because the instructions with commercial patterns can be less than ideal. I made the skorts up on my own at home, and even managed to “fit” them to my daughter’s size. I had never come across a layer pattern before… what a great idea. It made the whole process so much easier. I will definitely be making more of these.
