What others think about the
Men's Shorts Sewing Pattern 'Wyatt'

Sewed these in one quiet evening

I made the Wyatt shorts in US 38 from cotton jersey (about 40% stretch) and they came together faster than I expected. The steps for the waistband and drawstring were straightforward, and the layered PDF made it easy to print only my size. They�ve become the pair I grab first for lounging at home.

Finally, pockets that actually get used

I chose US 44 and used French terry with a little elastane, and the relaxed fit through the thigh is exactly what I wanted. The side pockets sit nicely and don�t flare out, and the back patch pocket is perfect for a phone around the house. My partner wore them the next day and asked for a second pair.

Projector cut was smooth

I cut the projector file for US 40 and appreciated having the seam allowance as its own layer option. The pieces aligned cleanly, and I didn�t have to guess where anything went. I used rib knit for the waistband area and jersey for the body, and the drawstring waist feels adjustable without being bulky.

Great base for a �gym� version

I sewed US 42 in a lightweight performance knit (around 30�35% stretch) and kept the above-knee length as drafted. They work well for light workouts because the elastic waist stays put and the fit isn�t tight through the hips. I�ll probably make another pair and shorten the inseam by 1" for running.

Beginner-friendly win

These were my first menswear project and I didn�t feel lost, even with pockets. I made US 34 in cotton spandex jersey, and the instructions helped me keep the waistband casing neat. Pulling them on at the end was a real confidence boost.

How do I figure out the right size?

Before selecting a pattern size, take accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and hips. Choose the size from our chart that closely aligns with your measurements.

If your bust/waist/hip measurements align with different sizes, you would want to choose the size based on the apparel category or the garment fit and make adjustments to blend sizes. For example, prefer the size based on your bust measurement for making a top, and waist measurement for a relaxed dress cinched at the waist.

If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the fit you prefer (looser or tighter) and the type of fabric you'll use, as some fabrics have more give. All patterns include finished garment measurements which can be helpful to know how much ease or extra room is built into the design.

Fit came together better than expected

I made size 40 for my husband and followed the finished garment measurements instead of guessing, which really paid off. The shoulders and chest fit well right out of the gate, and I only shortened the hem by about an inch. It looks neat without feeling restrictive, which was exactly what I wanted.

Came together better than I expected

I made a size L for my brother using mid-weight cotton fleece. The instructions were clear enough that I didn�t have to second-guess the hood steps. Once finished, the fit through the shoulders felt relaxed without looking sloppy.

Comfortable but still looks tidy

I made these for wearing while working from home, using a cotton sateen. They�re relaxed enough to sit in all day but don�t look like sleepwear. The waistband construction was especially easy to follow.

Finally a polo that fits shoulders properly

I made a size 40 for my husband using cotton pique, and the shoulder fit turned out much better than ready-made polos. The instructions around the placket helped me get a clean finish without guessing. He�s worn it several times already, which is always a good sign.

A solid everyday tee pattern

I sewed the Ryan in size L using cotton jersey, and the finished fit is exactly what I expect from a classic men�s t-shirt. The shoulders sit well and the neckline turned out clean without feeling tight. I didn�t need to make any adjustments, which was a relief for a first sew of a new pattern.
