Forums > Patterns, Plans & Makes

Well, I finished the shorts I was making and I dislike them so much!!

I will never wear them.

These are destined for the recycle bin.

I was trying to be adventurous in my fabric choice and style. I should have known better. Ah, well, onwards and upwards!!

Glenda, I am sure that most of us have seen a lot worse (and I think they're OK)! Also suggest tucking them away in the event of a longer-than-planned hospital stay (really!)

Hi Glenda,

I’m sorry to hear that you don’t like these shorts. It’s so frustrating after investing time and money into a project. For what it’s worth, they look good. As a new sewist, I admire your stripe matching skills!

Knowing Glenda, I think she was joking!

I’d definitely tuck them away and try them on another day. I know that sense of not ‘feeling it’, regardless of what others say, but it’s not going to stop me saying I love the shorts and I love them on you. You can thump me later!

The fit is incredible, the silhouette looks amazing on you. I even like the fabric!

Sorry. Not sorry!! 🥰

They look good Donnie. Maybe ‘sleep on it’!

Sorry they haven’t turned out as you’d hoped Glenda, if the style isn’t what you were going for I get it. But fit wise I think they look great. Perhaps good for gardening next summer?
