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?
F|S Team
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.
I widened and lengthened the legs on this pattern to make some comfy linen pants. They're 3/4 length and super comfortable. I made these in the IL019 middleweight linen. I'm definitely going to be making more!
This is the size and yardage chart that's on page 4 of the pattern PDF for the pleated shorts
