Sewn Guise shorts

These shorts were made as a toile but they turned out to be very wearable so I’m calling that a win!

These are the Guise Pants from Papercut Patterns. They have a fly front and also some elastic in the back for comfort and a snug fit.  The fabric I used is just a remnant I got from Stoff & Stil, I suspect it’s a poly/cotton blend. It’s actually got a little bit of sparkle to it!

I put these on and my husband remarked that they look like I should be ready for my first day of grade 7.  They DO look a bit like school pants but they’re comfy so I’m not concerned!  IMG_0939

These fit fine so I went ahead and made myself a pair of trousers from this pattern!  I’ll follow up with another post.fullsizeoutput_5e3d

As you can see, the button sits a bit weird and the back band seems to pop up a bit.  I’ll wear these with a shirt over the top so it won’t show!

Overall this was a really nice easy pattern.  Flys are always a bit weird and hard to make but this pattern makes it quite easy.  Do recommend!
