Nice shorts
Although I struggled to sometimes understand the directions (American English?), this pattern makes a beautiful, nicely fitted pair of shorts at a good length for me. Making a muslin helped me improve the 2nd pair for wearing, and I have a new pair of sleep shorts. The belt loops were too short, so I must have done something wrong in cutting them. I have been sewing for many years and am now able to refine my skills - such a great finished product AND a free pattern. Thank you!
