Thank you for making these available. I will definitely make them - it will be my first pair of me-made shorts. I do have a sizing question. My hips put me at a size 4 and my waist at a size 8. Should I cut a 6 and go from there? (I'll muslin it and will figure it out that way, but which measurement is more important in these, waist or hips?) Thank you again!Karolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558493098161051612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308603895337449900.post-52397116846289251282016-06-15T21:48:05.385-07:002016-06-15T21:48:05.385-07:00Thanks so much for these - I have been looking for...Thanks so much for these - I have been looking for a good shorts pattern and I think I've found it ! Brilliant instructions and very clear layout. love the 'man-repelling' comment - I have a much loved pair of old shorts which have become a bit shapeless and baggy (wear them for gardening now !) - even before they became baggy, they were man-repelling - but so comfy !! sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029040465365599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308603895337449900.post-53931608291336182252015-05-28T14:06:36.754-07:002015-05-28T14:06:36.754-07:00I hope to sew these shorts in a purple linen I hav...I hope to sew these shorts in a purple linen I have. If the fabric is thick enough (so it's not see-through) do you think I can sew it without a lining?

They aren't high-waisted, I would call them a regular rise. The fit could be considered slightly "man-repelling" however they are certainly short enough to make up for it and I love a blouse-y short right now <a href="http://500kmotors.com/" rel="nofollow">Yamaha Specs</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079587750779969031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308603895337449900.post-13044631302340482162014-07-07T04:36:23.216-07:002014-07-07T04:36:23.216-07:00Thanks for this amazing pattern - I love it and th...Thanks for this amazing pattern - I love it and they fitted perfectly first try.
