And now for our first pattern, the Women's Clemence Shorts from Filles a Maman: a review from Ellen, with additional photos by Rebecca.

Hi! It’s Ellen from ellzabelle. I’m excited to show you these beautiful women’s shorts from Filles a Maman. The Clemence shorts are really pretty and comfy. They have a side zipper and you can choose from 3 different styles in the front. I chose style C, with just one scallop on each side in the front. I added two little buttons instead of one big one on each side. My fabric is leftover from making my daughter a dress. There’s a bit of stretch in them that makes them extra comfortable.

This pattern is rated intermediate and I would agree. It took me a bit to understand the zipper and waistband part. I am very inexperienced in this area, so I was very slow. The pattern does include line drawings at each step PLUS additional photos to help in many steps. I found this to be very helpful. I found my size based on my hips, then adjusted the waist as the pattern explains. This was very easy and worked out perfectly! The only adjustment I made was to add an inch to the length since I’m tall. I think I could have added a bit more too….but I LOVE them. There’s also a Bermuda length option. I bought the children’s Clemence shorts pattern previously so I can’t wait to make some matching shorts with my daughter. I’m thinking a fun tribal print, floral, or even lace! I think these will be a nice addition for summer.
Till next time!
Ellen
