Fab tutorial, thanks for the free sew-along 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have had this pattern for a while but now I think I will give it a go with some challis that I have in my stash. Awesome tutorial and great tips. I don't know why in all my years of sewing that it never crossed my mind to gather the pockets on the curves or to baste stitch the seam for insertion ease for the elastic. You just earned a new subscriber so thanks a bunch! Your trousers look very nice!❤

Hi, Diane, how is this pattern different from S1887? Thanks! Love your tutorials.

Thank you great tutorial , could this longer shorts pattern be made in Double Brushed Poly fabric ?

[@MinervaDotCom]

You certainly can! just be wary of the durability of the fabric 🙂

Did the fabric you used need a zig zag or serger? I didn't see it happen, but that might have been to make the video shorter.
