He put them on and immediately asked for another pair

My partner tried the finished shorts on and before he had even left the room asked what fabric I had for the next pair. That reaction is very satisfying. They fit well and are comfortable and that was all he needed.

Addie F.
Pocket bag twisted on first make but an easy fix

My pocket bag on the right side was not quite sitting flat the first time. I had not quite matched the notches on the pocket bag to the side seam correctly. I fixed it on the second pair by being more careful with the notches. Straightforward once you know.

Maren K.
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.

Gideon R.
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.

E
Elise T.
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.
