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!

Hello Shorts

The flat front panel on these shorts is very flattering, and the elastic back makes fit a breeze! The side pocket designs are perfect for keeping my phone secure but out of the way during daily activities. The number of options provided in the pattern is impressive and the presentation keeps them all straight. My first two pair were straight legs in canvas for every day wear. My next will be the tulip hem in a light, nonstretch athletic fabric for running. I have only two small quibbles with the pattern.
1) A majority of the seam allowances are 5/8", but a couple (zipper pocket) are 3/8" Despite highlighting this on the pattern pieces, I missed this on both pairs as I was happily french seaming all my finishes and it meant I had to be creative with the hem line at the side seam. I've made a note to adjust the pattern pieces next time I sew this up since I can't seem to remember that change for only that set of pocket pieces.
2)This is not the first Sinclair pattern I've seen that includes the words, "Stitch the tabs to the zipper at 1-2 mm / 1/12-/18 in" Probably the fractions should read "1/18-1/12 in" which would be closer to 1-2 mm, but could probably just be replaced by "edgestitch" since I have nothing on my machine that would help me sew at 1/18" from any particular line on the fabric.
Those issues are minor, and I will definitely continue buying Sinclair patterns.

Hello Shorts

As always I love purchasing a pattern that has been drafted to my height. It’s amazing how much difference that makes! Sinclair patterns just fit better from the start. The shorts have so many options and I’ll probably try many of them. However because there are so many options and I like to initially print all options and sizes, and then trace off what I want I did run into a problem getting the correct set of hemlines traced. I’d suggest reading through the directions first before tracing so you are aware of what you need.
