Simplicity 1165 is one of my favorite patterns. \u00a0I’ve used all the versions and love the way it turns out. \u00a0I’ve made view A and cropped them to make them look like Audrey pants. \u00a0For this view I used stretch poplin in pink and white polka dots on a black background. \u00a0They are wonderfully comfy. \u00a0I did notice my normal size in Simplicity patterns did not fit. \u00a0I needed to use a size smaller. \u00a0Not an issue. \u00a0It’s easier to reduce a size than enlarge it once the pattern is sewn.<\/p>\n
Next I made the shorter shorts view D in denim. \u00a0They are great! \u00a0Perfect fit the first time around. \u00a0I also left the hem off and distressed them a little. \u00a0I love the lived in look they give. \u00a0I did not like the largeness of the leg opening at first. \u00a0Then, I loved the comfort of them so much I didn’t really notice the legs anymore.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless,I decided to try the longer tighter shorts. This is view C, I used linen blend fabric in medium gray. \u00a0I stuck with the same size used for the other shorts and pants. \u00a0WOW! \u00a0Not my favorite shorts. \u00a0Not at all! \u00a0They are like a second skin. \u00a0I’m not sure what I’ll end up doing with these. \u00a0I do know at this point, they will not be worn much. \u00a0I guess it’s time to start bicycling again? \u00a0Anyway, I fully recommend this pattern, Simplicity 1165 to anyone looking to add variety to a summer wardrobe without much effort.<\/p>\n
ENJOY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
