Pattern Description: This is a pattern for men's close-fitting, raglan-sleeve shirt; bike shorts/jammers; & speedo-style brief swim trunks.

Pattern Sizing: S-XXL. I made size large.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it makes a handsome pair of trunks.

Fabric Used: Blue nylon-lycra knit for the trunks, & white swimwear lining for the liner.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I omitted the drawstring & holes.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes.

Conclusion: It is a wonderful pattern to sew from.

dbsewer 10/26/09It would really help if you'd add some details about how this pattern went together, and post a picture so we can see how it turned out. Granted, you may not want to have someone model it :-) but it would be nice to see it even on a dressform.
