My Face Says It All!

These are the shorts version of Simplicity 8056, an Amazing Fit pattern with a curvy option, which I used.

The fabric is a very loose weave polyester linen type which frayed and shifted and didn't press well.

These are really a wearable toille and I can see the back crotch needs adjusting and the front too possibly.

It was quite an involved make with a fly front, faced pockets, 4 piece waistband etc. I will wear them and see how I feel about them but I think you can guess my feelings from my facial expression in the photo!!

Incidentally, I wouldn't wear my top tucked in normally. That was just to show the waistband!

I think they look good, and they do look like they will settle well after a few wears and a wash. I do know what you mean about the amount of work you feel is worthwhile for some garments.

I hate zips. Also my body shape is such that it is almost never worth my while doing a fly front. I use good waistband elastic and never tuck my top in. I do have 1 lovely pair of trousers where I did the best fly front I have ever managed. When I put them on, I know that neat waistband is there, but no-one else does!

Faced pockets though, are always lovely!
