    Fantastic shorts pattern

    The Sashay shorts provide more flair than your usual pattern. I love the dressy look of the subtle flair with foxy pockets. The directions made me feel like an experienced seamstress. I decided to skip the muslin and make a pair using the fit for the Palazzo pants and they were perfect.

    Perfect fit!

    So far, I've made the short version in size 12 with subtle flair, both with and without pockets and I get what you mean about pockets not being necessary. It's a much quicker make without them. I also used the yoga band ... and I love the outcome!

    Great pattern

    These shorts are so easy to make and very comfortable to wear. They are flattering and comfortable and a joy to wear. Thank you for such a lovely pattern.

    I love this pattern! It's fun and it's easy to put together (why can't the big 4 patterns be this good). It's also economical to buy various fabrics and whip up endless options to dress up or down. I plan on sewing my way through all of Pattern Emporium patterns.
