Well designed

Just as I expected and hoped for. A well- fitted knit short to rival my favorite ready to wear! Pockets are life, and these allowed my phone to lay sideways, and stay put despite a long day in the garden. Super comfortable, yet wearable in public these shorts tick all the boxes. First pair Cotton Lycra. Searching my Supplex stash for the next pair, or 5😊

Wickham Skirt

This skirt (no shorts) became my new favorite this summer. I made it from a techno scuba knit. I'm looking for more fabric to make a couple more for next summer.

Perfect for swim bottoms

I made the shorts out of swim fabric and lined them. Now I have a fantastic pair of swim shorts that are both modest and comfortable.

Wonderful active skirt/shorts

I love the combination of skirt and shorts. Skirt is cute and not too voluminous and the shorts have functional pockets and avoid any chafing or wardrobe malfunctions during activities. The wide gusset adds a lot of comfort and mobility and keeps the seamlines away from the center to further reduce chafing.
After making a muslin, I ended up lowering the position of the pockets to end right at the hem. This makes the pockets a bit easier to access and also positions my phone so that it is completely invisible under the skirt. At the original position, the phone was visible through the skirt. In addition, I changed the orientation of the stretch on the gusset. As oriented on the pattern piece, it draws fabric up the thighs and the shorts don't stay in place as well.

Wickham Magic

I sewed my shorts and skirt in an unknown stretch fabric I’ve had in my stash for years - I’m thrilled with the fit and used it almost daily on beach walks in my recent Australian holiday. Sewing it up was easy , I followed the instructions to a T. I may lengthen the skirt by 2 cm next time , Thank you for another great pattern .
