The They & Them Shorts will work in a wide variety of woven fabrications. The construction consists of a single layer of fabric on the front and back legs with French seams and a double layer of fabric at the waistband and hem to add some extra weight as well as clean finishes. The lightweight fusible interfacing will reinforce the waistband for extra support while sewing and wearing. Light to mid-weight woven fabrics will work well. A stabler fabric will be more beginner friendly. Use a contrasting ribbon or fabric for the drawstring ties to draw attention to the sophisticated bound buttonholes detail at the waist.

 

If you plan to use the same fabric for your SELF and for your POCKETS, your self fabric requirements may be HIGHER than what is listed below.

The self fabric requirements below DO NOT include yardage for cutting the optional pocket patterns. See pocket fabric chart below.

The fabric requirements listed above include a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Keep in mind that if you are using a printed fabric or fabric that must be cut in one direction, your fabric requirements may be higher.

The They & Them Shorts are designed for a gender inclusive fit which means the pattern has been drafted for a TRULY RELAXED FIT. (All caps for emphasis in case you do not believe me!). If you are between sizes, size down. Most of the ease falls in the back due to the elastic only running through the back waistband. Depending on how you want your shorts to fit, the front waistband can lie flat or be tied higher up and cinched by the ties. The shorts feature a very comfortable DROP crotch when worn at the hip, meaning the crotch may feel quite long if you are not used to this design feature. You may choose to shorten the rise at the shorten/lengthen line on the front and back pattern pieces. Alternatively, pull the shorts higher up and voila – you have high rise shorts! Because of where the shorts are designed to fall, choose your size based on your hip measurements for a relaxed, hip-hugging short.

SIZE SELECTION

Find the size that corresponds closest to your personal measurements in the size chart below. Patterns are designed for a 5’8” (172cm) tall person. The following measurements are needed to determine your size:

WAIST | The smallest part of your torso, directly underneath your rib cage and above your hip bones

HIGH HIP | Starting 3” below your waistline, around the circumference of your hips

LOW HIP | The widest part of your hips, patterns drafted for 8” below the waistline
