    $9 seems a steep cost when compared to patterns from designers that include lengthen / shorten lines for hem and front / back rise, notches for button loop placement, and more clear instructions i.e. 'with right sides together', better differentiating pattern pieces not just calling it top or bottom piece. The instructions included in the PDF are hard to follow and are incomplete compared with this video, and this video tutorial assumes a fair amount of skill / knowledge in the sewer. I have made many pairs of pants and shorts, and was able to make these shorts because I know the general steps. If I were a beginner, I would have found this challenging to follow. That being said, I enjoy the shorts and am pleased with how they turned out after pattern hacking in several areas. 3/5 stars overall.

  • @nansynano
    @nansynano 3 роки тому +36

    Question for you Kiana, when you "stitch in the ditch" does the opposite side edge get tucked under or stay revealed as you show at 12:25. I don't have a serger so my edge wouldn't look as nice as yours do... I was thinking I would tuck the edge under and hand stitch from the inside to cover up the raw edges.
    Also, THANK YOU for making this tutorial video to go along with your pattern. So helpful :)

    • @magicianmana4
      @magicianmana4 3 роки тому +3

      Do you mean the wrong side? The stitch in the ditch should catch the wrong side and help tack it down. Check out her pleated skirt tutorial. She explains it in more detail there.
