Debbie Cook said... Belinda, These look AUSsome!! Looks like we were reviewing at the same time. I'm NOT showing these to Alex or he'll be begging for a male pair! 1/1/06 11:06 PM

Cathy Loves Fabric said... So cute! Love that fabric. 1/2/06 0:24 AM
keelyb1 said... I love the shorts. I had to laugh - I've just bought this pattern 2 days ago for my DD as well. I recently used Burda 9898 with good results as well. 1/2/06 2:48 AM
Amelie said... Beautiful work. Great fabric. Lucky DD. 1/2/06 7:32 AM
Lori V said... Belinda, great looking shorts. The fabric is so perfect for boardshorts and your topstitching is perfect. 1/2/06 8:08 AM
noreend said... Those look great! Thanks for pointing this pattern out. I have a stash fabric is just now screaming to be these. Thanks! 1/2/06 11:17 AM
BeckyW said... Very nice work!!! My DD would love them. 1/2/06 12:00 PM

minieme said... They look so professionally done! Thanks for pointing this pattern out, I have 3 boys who live in these during the summer months and I still have a stash of microfibre from Spotlight's end of summer sale last year. 1/6/06 5:00 AM
Hilary said... Wow, these look *fabulous*!! I have this pattern and my son would have a fit to see these in PINK lol (not to mention the flowers, grin)(personally I *love* the fabric) but I think the flaps you added are wonderful, and you did such a professional job on them. Thanks for the tips! We don't live near the beach, but these are still gonna be great summer wear for my 3 boys. Thanks for the review! Did you use a twin needle, if so what size (what distance between the needles I mean) Thanks! 3/1/06 5:00 PM
Sew4Fun said... Thanks Hilary. No I didn't use a twin needle. For topstitching I always do two separate rows. Belinda 3/2/06 3:56 AM
katieb said... I love the boardshorts, my DS would love a pair. I like the flaps on the front waistband, they look very professional. I wish we had Spotlight in the UK, I cannot find any patterned microfibre material over here. 3/23/06 8:21 AM
CherylStillSews said... Ooh - I missed this review earlier. These are fab and I'd never have thought to look through the boys for my DD. 8/23/06 8:30 AM
JenSedgwick said... These look great. I promised my girls some board shorts but have also been having trouble finding a pattern. Anyone know if these come in a smaller size? 5/14/07 0:14 AM
blanken6 said... That cracks me up! I've been looking for a boardshorts pattern for myself for 2 years now. When I found your post I realized I had made a pair of the longer shorts from nearly the same pattern (different company) AND was wearing them at the time! I just hadn't thought of modifying them this way... Thank you for the inspiration! 8/11/09 11:20 PM
