You are a very good teacher Michelle. Your pacing is perfect! Thank you for taking it slow enough to actually follow along. I'm looking forward to watching more of your sewalongs.
Ahh thank you so much! That’s such a compliment 🥰
Love your shorts. Love your sew along. You make anyone think that they can do it with your great instructions. Thanks for sharing.
Ah thank you I am so pleased to hear that 🥰 x
What a fantastic sew along. Thank you Michelle. I've watched and learnt such a lot. You explain it all so well. I wish I could have a Michelle hologram with every pattern I buy to help with construction 😁 Your glamorous assistant Misty is a joy to watch too 🤭 Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. Love your shorts and hope you enjoy wearing them as they look really lovely on you. X
Ahhh thank you for such a lovely comment that’s made me so happy to hear you enjoy and find how I explain things helpful 🥰 xx
Your Misty reminds so much of my Salem, and I do so love the way he needs to be in the midst of whatever you are doing. It is just so precious! Great job on those shorts, such a lovely color too!
Aww yeah she is a little sweetie pie of a kitty x
Ok, Misty was VERY insistent at one point near the end. She reminds me of my cat. I’m folding clothes and he has to be right in front of me. Yep, I have work around him! It’s as frustrating as it is funny 😄. God love the fur babies! Love the shorts. They look fabulous on you ❤️. Your friend Diane ❤️
Haha yeah when they want attention then everything else must drop 😂 x
@@SewingBunny you got that right 😁
Great sew along Michelle. Thank you. I do believe that as soon as Misty sees a camera she's there saying "look at me".
Haha yeah she loves being centre of attention 😻
Oh Michelle you are so wonderful at explaining your sewalong. Thank you .xx
Thank you so much! It makes me so happy that you think I explain things well xx
Your shorts are great and you look fantastic in them! 😍👌🏻💯 As for how they fit around the crotch, I've seen many pictures of people in the Persephone pants / shorts and it seems to me that that's just how they fit and look. The same thing goes for the fly. I can't remember who it was or where I saw it, but somebody pointed out that they'd modified the fly somehow to avoid the fly front from gaping slightly because they'd either noticed it on a lot of other people or they'd made a previous pair themselves and wanted to fix that the next time around. So, all of that to say that you're not alone on those two points and not to worry about it. 😊
Ah thank you for letting me know! It makes me feel better when other people have a similar issue xx
What a great tutorial and aren’t they beautifully made well done I think you always get creases on shorts even the shop bought ones the fly looks just fine if you had bought them you wouldn’t have noticed that.
Ah thank you! Yes I found myself out and about and anyone wearing shorts I would look how they fitted…. Must be careful where I am looking though 🤣
These turned out so nice. Not sure I would go for a button fly myself since I am a bit older than you ;) and trips to the bathroom could get dangerous for me. ;) They look awesome on you!
Haha I know what you mean 😂 thanks so much for watching xx
That was a lot of work. I really enjoyed watching the process of the shorts. They look lovely, hope you really enjoy wearing them.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I love these shorts.
You are very good with your sew along.
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much x
Beautiful shorts; that was quite an impressive sew. Lots of details. Thank you! You look great in them. I think you could leave the snap as is; no one but your hubs should be looking that closely at your fly. LOL.
Haha that is very true! Thank you so much xx
Beautiful sewing and terrific tutorial. You are very good at this
Ah thank you so much! That’s so lovely to hear x
I use the selvage in seams, it’s a win win, strengthens the seams and saves some fabric.
Ahh great 👍 thanks so much xx
Thank you again for a brilliant tutorial, with such neat beautiful stitching. Has inspired me to think about making shorts for myself 🤫. Xx
Ohhh yes give shorts a go! It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed xx
Good job! I love looking at your videos. Your voice is so soothing.
Ah thank you! So glad you enjoyed 😁
You are great at sew a longs michelle i could watch you all day long i wished you had time to do more thank you so much janet x
Aww that is so lovely to hear 🥰 thank you so much x
Thanks for then very clear instructions. Excellent explanations.
Thank you so much for watching 😁
Michelle, thanks for this fantastic tutorial. I’ve been sewing for a long, long time and I learned new techniques from you today! 😘💗
Oh wow that’s such a lovely comment to get 🥰 thank you so much for watching xx
I look forward to your vids. Love your shorts and fabric choice.
Thank you so much! Lovely to hear you enjoy my videos that’s so kind of you to say x
@@SewingBunny your tutorials are so concise and have helped me to make a few dresses. I loved your Galaxy tee ( 🐰) fabric so much that I just had to buy it.
Thank you for another really informative sew along. I have this pattern, intending to make the trousers for about 12 months now. Your video has been incredibly helpful and I love the honesty of your reviews. I’m still daunted though 😁😆. There’s a lot of work in them. I’m tall (5’10”) and concerned about fit particularly when I sit. Yours look really good on you Michelle and the colour really suits you. xx
Ahh just go for it 😁 once the steps are broken down it’s not too bad x
@@SewingBunny I know you’re right and there is your sew along to help, but I think I may have to break the (lazy) habit of a lifetime and toile it 😆😆🤣🤣 Before I cut into my fabric. Thanks for your reply Michelle and I hope you have/have had, a lovely birthday 🥂🎶 xx
Great sewalong. These look great on you. My next make will be some Lander shorts so this is very timely. Thank you!
Ahh thank you Eileen 😁 oh I do like the lander shorts I would like to make some more of them 👍
They look great, but a lot of work! No not sure my sewing skills are up to it yet 🤔. Thanks for taking the time to explain so well x
Ahh of course you can make them 😁👍 don’t let anything scare you! You can do anything ❤️ when you are ready then I hope you enjoy the challenge xx
Great video Good tips in cutting out and interfacing . Now going to watch rest
Thank you for watching 🥰
Super job on the sew along and the shorts look great! 👍🏼👍🏼 I’m not confident enough to start such an advanced projekt, but it was very interesting to learn new techniques by watching you. 😊Thank you!!
Ah thank you so much for watching! I’m sure you will be able to tackle the pattern at some point soon 😁 just break things down into small stages and don’t expect perfection x
Oh, this was great Michelle 👏...so well explained as always and your definitely giving me more confidence to go for more trouser making 😁. Your shorts fit so well and stitched so perfectly too 👌💝🙏😘
Thank you so much! Really pleased to hear you enjoyed it 😁 it took me quite a while and I am always a bit nervous that I haven’t explained things well enough 🙈 so that’s great to hear x
They turned out beautiful ! It's a quite comprehensive sew along, and I do think you gave us some feedback from your jeans workshop. There are quite a lot of techniques here that can surely be applied to other patterns. I also love how resourceful you are. Thanks so much for the effort
Ahh thank you! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the message x
Enjoyed video Michelle. You did great job and look really good. Very professional looking shorts .
Ahh thank you so much! That’s a lovely compliment 🥰
Wow, thanks for doing this involved sew a long, glad you got around the top buttonhole issue with press stud, they look fab 😎
It's been decades since I've made trousers, those fly fronts always had me scratching my head and double checking and doubting myself. I definitely need stretch fabrics for trousers now 🙃😄 x
Yes fabrics with a bit of stretch is so comfortable 😁 so pleased you enjoyed watching xx
They look awesome👍🏻
Thank you so much 😊
❤️👍👌👏 As usual, clear and straight to point.
Thank you so much for watching xx
They look lovely and the colour of the material is stunning. Keep safe me lovely 💞💞💞
Thank you! I love the colour too ❤️ just need some warm weather so I can wear them out and about x
I love your shorts. They are gorgeous. You did an amazing job sewing and teaching. I do have a question. I was wondering if moving the 4 buttons closer to the edge by a bit would have also worked? Would it have fixed the gaping and added a slight amount in the hips? I'm not a proficient sewist, so, I like a lot of alternative ways around a problem. It helps me feel more confident in case a less than optimal situation occurs. But, you did awesome and rolled with it.
You know I did have that same idea as well! I think I will try that first and see if that is any better as much easier to do that then do a new snap fastening 👍 x
Great see along as usual Michelle, the shorts suit you and colour too. I have a question, I hope you don't mind me asking the garment your wearing in the video, what pattern is it please as it looks lovely on you ?
✂️🧵😊💕
Thank you so much! 🥰 the dress I am wearing on the first day is the Friday pattern company davenport dress x
I take a piece of chalk and write W for wrong side on all pieces--and L or R for right or left pieces
That’s a great idea 👍
Gorgeous shorts! Can I ask the make of your chalk pen please? I need one!!! I’ve got fabric that my daughter has picked and this is the preferred pattern. Thanks for all the tips!
Ohh I hope you enjoy making it when you get round to it 😁 my chalk pen is this one here - amzn.to/32k48Tr
@@SewingBunny thank you!
You do such informative videos and this was so helpful for learning flys. Where did you get your chalk pen?
Thank you so much Lisa 😁 glad you enjoyed it!
My chalk pen is just one from Amazon which I use all the time

Yesterday I started watching a sew along of yours with some honeycomb print fabric. A dress I think. I could not finish watching as I was at work just filling some time. Now I cannot find that video. Could you direct me where this one is. I have been catching up with your videos as I have just discovered your wonderful channel lately. Thank you.
Ohh I can’t remember which one that is 🤣 hopefully you found it xx
Sorry I meant to say the first part of the video I was asking about the pattern for the garment your wearing please. ✂️🧵😊💕
Well doen 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you 😊
Am I understanding something wrong or are you not letting seam allowance?
Unsure quite what you mean?
@@SewingBunny you traced and cut all the shapes without adding 3/8 inch around then for the seam?
@@MonaChauve-Souris yes that correct the pattern included seam allowance so I didn’t need to add anything 😁
@@SewingBunny omg I added seams everywhere, so much work for nothing 😱😭 well anyway, thank you so much for your tutorial, it helps tremendously! 🙌
🇨🇦😃
