cindyann said... Well that's a super fine looking pair of pants. Very nice work. 6/27/06 5:11 PM
Mrs.Moos said... Geez, Debbie--you're good at psychology too? What do you DON'T do? I must try this pattern on my DH--the elastic will help with fitting around the "beer barrel"! 6/27/06 5:30 PM
frame said... Great looking shorts. Very nice job and very informative review - yet again! 6/27/06 5:39 PM
sewbehind said... Very nice pants. Just for other readers, there is a video clip of Sandra Betzina doing the fly front zipper. It was mentioned by someone else (can't remember-sorry) on a previous review. The website is http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/tvt008.asp If that link doesn't work, go to the Threads website and click on video tips, find the fly front one by SB. Great pair of pants, Debbie. 6/27/06 5:54 PM
BjP said... This is one pair of smokin' hot shorts for your birthday fella! Absolutely great-looking and you made fabulous modifications (especially the pockets). I'd make a bunch more for him, too! 6/27/06 6:14 PM
minieme said... I agree it's good to bribe the men with sewing for them once in a while. These are nice looking pants that fit better than RTW. I should do some sewing for my DH too. 6/27/06 6:41 PM
Sew4Fun said... Cool shorts Debbie. I like all the topstitching and pockets, and the fit looks really good too straight from the envelope. 6/27/06 6:58 PM

MaryLynn in Long Beach said... great looking pants, Deb. And I agree, sew for the men...they strut like peacocks when you do and then they ignore all the EOS packages coming in the door. 6/27/06 7:39 PM
