Hello, The video was very well. The finished product looks so great. The pattern of the fabric is also nice. I was thinking that it would also look nice if I made a bag with this kind of plain fabric. Thank you for your share.

[@Mellysews]

This fabric stretches so it wouldn't be my first choice for a bag.

My son will have new shorts for next summer! 😊Thank you for sharing. I wish I had this video the first time I made shorts. Sigh, I had to seam rip twice, because I sewed part of them backwards.

[@Mellysews]

I've done that too when I was learning; that's what the seam ripper is for!

I can't find the pattern itself... Where is it hiding?

[@Mellysews]

@@DK-nn9id There is a section in the blog post with the heading How to Get the Pattern that details your options.

Love pockets😊

[@Mellysews]

Same!

[@beataolszewska3205]

Hey. Will you show me how to sew shorts with an overlay at the front imitating a skirt? Please

[@Mellysews]

I don’t have a tutorial for that

[@smiller1132]

How do we get the binding on the outside if the shorts haven't been sewed together yet???

[@Mellysews]

I don't understand your question. Did you watch the whole video?

[@smiller1132]

You did nor show how too attach the Bias Tape for this project.

[@Mellysews]

@@smiller1132 that's correct, I linked videos I've made on how to sew bias tape instead.

[@AngieCee1]

[@Mellysews]

Glad you like them!

A suggestion for a future video: How to add fabric to existing pockets to make them less disgraceful!

[@Mellysews]

I don't think I understand your suggestion. But here's a tutorial on adding pockets mellysews.com/how-to-sew-pockets-add-side-seam-pockets/

[@AngieCee1]

Less disgraceful? Lol do you mean how to make existing pockets bigger because they're too small?

[@gerrybrown2552]

Your going a bit too fast….

[@Mellysews]

There's a playback speed option in your TH-cam settings - feel free to slow the video down to your liking.

[@AngieCee1]

Try pausing the video. That's what I do, and also like she said, there's a setting to play the video slower.
