   I made the Ellen shorts in a medium weight crinkle cotton, size 10, and added back pockets from Carlisle jeans pattern. The shorts are loose fitting, comfortable and cool for summer

   Easy & fast shorts to make which adapt to the variety of materials I have used. I have made these in various sizes for family members & they always assemble easily & look great.

   Really fun pattern to make but I did run into a little bit of trouble with the elastic. The pattern says to buy 38mm elastic, but the sizing on the elastic casing section is only 30mm in the size 10 which I wish I had checked before cutting and sewing my elastic to length, so maybe leave the elastic portion until later to be sure.

   What a fun and stylish pattern with the perfect amount of gathering, which is extremely flattering. I made these in a patterned Linen for my daughter (25), they are gorgeous and very much on trend.
   The instructions were easy to follow.
   I have just finished them and I now have a request to make another pair – Compliments to the Pattern makers.

   Smart linen shorts easy to sew. Loved the detail on the pockets and the description of gathering the elastic away from the tummy to reduce bulk.

   I wore these pants all through summer – easy to make, and the pockets are generously sized. I really like the detailing on the belt loops. I shortened them quite a bit to suit my style. Great pattern.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
