Thank you so much for sharing these patterns and keeping us sewers inspired. Love your site ?
Where is the walking shorts part one link at? They were featured in my email and were a light blue, with a cuff and pockets. I really like those. I work with kids and need pockets, flexibility and comfort all in one pair. These look like they’d fit the bill.
Hi Michelle, there is only part one. Same shorts just adjusted to XS. Doubled stitched and the pockets got squared corners. Will show you how to do this on the video.
You’re never too old to learn…I’m 78 and this site keeps showing me new/old methods, ideas, lessons and tons of other information. Thank you for that. I love it!
YOu are welcome Noelle! It is an honor to have you as a reader.
Great shorts, do,any of the, have back zippers?
I like the shorts the pink ones that look like jeans, but can’t find a link to them! The ones you have in the first picture.
Yes Sandy, this are not for sale yet.
Thank you, it is exactly what I am looking for…….
Same sandy! Those are the exact style I’ve been looking for. Hopefully we can find a similar pattern 🙂
First, thank you for all the lovely patterns and tips you share with us. I would love to see a pattern for longer shorts added into your short pattern mix. There are some of us that are no longer young enough or fit enough to wear short shorts.
I hear you Paula, I am working on some walking short. Stay tuned 🙂
I agree Paula! I’d love to see some mid-thigh shorts & walking shorts! I don’t ever wanna be that woman who forgets how old she really is when she’s getting dressed lol!
What pattern are the pink shorts in the first photo?
Not yet out, coming soon!
This just a fabulous site I go here just to see what I can find to sew.
Happy to be help you get inspired, You made my day 🙂
