TESTING CALL CLOSED
The testing call is now closed. Thank you so much for your support! The Belize Shorts & Skort is now available in the shop.

Today it’s sunny, breezy and all-around gorgeous in my part of the world. And it is exactly this weather that inspired me to create the Belize Shorts and Skort pattern. The pattern is ready for testing now; I hope you are interested in helping out?

Tester Selection
The chosen testers will be invited to private Facebook groups where we can discuss the pattern, share pictures and discuss revisions. I will send the invite/link to the email that you provide. So please make sure you enter the correct email in the application form.
In return for your time, effort, professionalism, input and participation, upon public release of the pattern, you will receive:
- A final copy of the pattern
- Feature you in a blog post that directs traffic to your blog/site/store/Etsy store
Please sign up using this application form if you are interested. Testing is one of the most crucial steps for producing a quality pattern. I appreciate your applying!
I really like the skorts design, especially View E. That’s definitely a pattern I’d try out once it’s released (I’m too much of a newbie for pattern testing).
Good luck with the testing, I’d love to help out but have too much on next week. Looking forward to the pattern release though – they look like they’ll be perfect for my golfing wardrobe ?⛳️?
Is there a reason the larger sizes have n/a as the yardage for narrower fabric?
Because the 45″ is not wide enough for the larger sizes.
What a shame – I am away next week but would have loved to make a short for my son’s girlfriend. Will just have to buy the pattern when released
Have a great trip!
the blue skorts are attractive
Thank you 🙂
