After conquering the Agustina top, I made these Jules shorts. I've sewn for over 50 years using conventional patterns, andI had to reset my 78 year-old brain to be able to assemble the patterns and learn new techniques. It's been a challenge, but I love both Agustina and Jules....perfect for comfy and casual wear. I also appreciate all of the excellent support! I
The legs on this pattern were much wider than they appeared in the photos. And they came out looking too baggy. Luckily I made them up in a muslin first..
Love these shorts. Easy to follow pattern, and great fit. Made in Natural IL019, and they are perfect.
Hi ! There are 2 pattern pieces named "back waistband" but I guess one of them is the front waistband. The question is "which one ?" Thanks a lot.
I can't seem to find any sizing information for the pattern. What are the body measurements for each size and are there any finished garment sizes available?
Hi! The sizing info is on page 4 of this PDF - I will upload a screenshot now as an image here as well under the "post your work section" ( the comment section doesn't allow to add images). Do email us if you have questions ask fabrics-store.com. Have a great day!
I love the Jules pattern and your detailed instructions. Knowing from the other reviewers that the pattern has plenty of room i decided to make French seams without adding any seam allowance. I also made the shorts a bit longer and the waist band wider to make them more city style.
