Excellent. These shorts are so cute. I made four pairs all different patterns. They are completely lined and are actually reversible. Going to make many more!

So Cute!!

I made these for my little granddaughter. They were very easy, quick to see, and I love the way the lining results in such a nice finish. Such a cute design. I’ll definitely be making more.

Easy to follow instructions designed for success

I am a quilter almost 20 years. I have sewing knowledge. I have never made clothing. These shorts came out and I surprised myself. They look beautiful, directions were easy to follow. My only issue is my daughter doesn't like the trim i used and won't wear them. Her friend loved them and begged her mom for some. I made her the next size up for next summer and then sent my daughter's over for this summer since my beast won't wear them. I have gotten some more patterns and am going to try some pajamas next. My son keeps begging me for mommy-made items....if VF starts with some boy patterns I'll be set forever. Love love love.

Perfect for summer

These are a perfect addition to my mini's wardrobe. I can use two fat quarters for a 3T.... helping bust through my quilting fabric stash. Easy to follow instructions, definitely a confident beginner can accomplish.

Love the Lilly Shorts!

I absolutely love the Lilly shorts! The pattern is easy to follow for a sewist with just a bit of experience and is a great "next-step" pattern for a beginner who has only made simple items such as headbands or plain skirts. It's a great way to build skills and such a versatile pattern when you use different trims. Pattern was easy to follow.

Lilly shorts

I absolutely love all VFT patterns, so easy to follow and super results. This pattern certainly lives up to all expectations. I’ve used it quite a few times now and always happy with the results. Looks great with the piper as a top.
