wildbluestarz said... I LOVE these shorts!!!! They are my perfect always on the lookout for style. Not too long, not too short in the leg and not too high or too low a waist. 9/14/12 9:45 PM

jannw said... Great shorts and a lovely fabric!! The waistband tabs were worth it!! That and the buttons adds a great detail!! have fun hiking in them 9/15/12 6:32 AM
JEF said... Wow, these are gorgeous. I often skimp/simplify details but clearly I need to cut that out. The details on these shorts just make them wonderful. 9/15/12 7:16 AM
1SewSweet said... These shorts are THE cutest shorts ever! Perfect length, fit, everything! Great job! 9/15/12 8:19 AM
Renren said... Meticulously done! Sorry about the pain of turning those loops but . . .yep, it was worth it, especially with that rivet decorating the angled v-turn. It was also worth redoing the cuffs and making the pocket templates. Everything was worth it because you've achieved perfection in this project! (Plus you are standing in front of a babbling creek which I hope is fed by meltwater from winter snows, because that probably means you are hiking at a higher elevation . . . and hiking at higher elevations--within limits, of course--is always GOOD!!!) 9/15/12 10:12 AM
QuikSew said... I love these shorts!! I especially like the belt loops and tabs at the bottom. These, I would wear--a LOT! 9/15/12 10:20 AM
Sharonspils said... Fantastic shorts, they look so good. Invest in a Fast Turn Tube Set and those narrow belt loops will be a dream to make. 9/15/12 6:28 PM
FreyaStark said... Very nice, and an impressive effort. Thanks for your comment on linen-rayon blend. I've found cotton-linen disappointing but now I feel like giving linen-rayon a go. To make belt loops, I cut against the selvedge so that one edge is selvedge and one is raw fabric. Then I fold the raw edge in and the selvedge edge on top of that, then stitch. The result is a neat finish, and no turning! 9/15/12 8:04 PM

Karla Kizer said... Very good-looking shorts with great details. Yes, the details are a pain to do, but they make all the difference. Belt loops: use Freya's selvage trick or just cut a length of fabric and serge one edge. Fold the fabric in thirds and top stitch. MUCH easier than turning a narrow tube, less bulky, and it mimics RTW. 9/27/12 6:57 AM
