MNBarb said... I've made this pattern MANY times. Your shorts look really good from the front. Hope you get to a point where you feel you have the fit just-right. 6/18/11 10:45 AM

qz said... as I sit here wearing a pair of shorts made from this very same patter than fit perfectly in the hip,seat, and rise -- but are loose in the waist -- Patti B -- what a GREAT suggestion. I shall do that in the next pair instead of fooling with having to cut the waistband and ease the body and still manage to end with a smooth back line... i never would have thunk it.
That said -- Ejegmama - these are looking good on you. You'll get to the fit you want, but know that right now, at this fit -- they look good on you. 6/18/11 11:20 AM
