Sagres pattern tester roundup

The Sagres Pants & Shorts pattern has come home from One Thimble 26. You can still buy the pattern included in the magazine, but now it is also available here in the website.
I had the help of a wonderful group of testers to make this pattern perfect. Some of them made more than one pair of shorts during the test and some also made Lemon tees and Green tees to go with the shorts.
See all the details and information about the pattern here, and check out the beautiful photos below.

"Um molde muito rápido de executar e versátil!! É seguramente um molde para meninos e meninas."

Ana Sofia - @sisforsewing:
"I'm a bit partial as I love every single pattern I made from Suco by Susana (and I have made quite a few so far...) - the Sagres Shorts were another hit with my boy! Sewing for older kids (and especially boys) is always a challenge - this pattern was spot on: clear and detailed instructions, easy to follow (step-by-step with lots of images) and a perfect fit on my boy! Thank you Susana!!"

Dânia Chincalece - Atelier Mushie:

Feyza Mcfadyen - @jadejordon13:
"I love this style of the pants/shorts. The fit is amazing and everything goes together so quickly. Definitely would recommend this pattern for total beginner because the instructions are so clear and so easy to follow. I can definitely sew more of this for my son's wardrobe."

Mandy Greyling Holmwood - @sugarandcandy:
"A well-drafted pattern with easy to follow directions! My kids look adorable in the final product - I will definitely be making more pairs for my boys!"

Marie-C. Zamor
"I love the classic style of your pattern. I also like the fact that you don't forget that the garment is still for children even if it's a classic style. The fun/happy side is there too."

Mawarita Baharudin  - @mawaritabaharudin:

Michelle Harvey:
"I absolutely love the Sagres shorts! They include lovely details and are finished so beautifully. They are a fantastic wardrobe staple!"

Natalie Wayne - Nataliesewing4u:
"The Sagres pants and shorts are a perfect pant to sew up for any active boy's wardrobe! The fit is fantastic and in a stretch woven it makes a great active pants which can be easily rolled up to stroll through a creek or allow him to get his feet in the ocean waves without soaking his pants! I highly recommend this pattern to all sewers. The instructions clearly describe all steps so that even a beginner seamstress could tackle this project with success."

Nele De Roo - @nele_naait:
"I love how every pattern pieces fits perfectly. The end result is very pretty and it has some cool details like the sewn-on pockets! I will be making this one a lot more: my son isn't the easiest about his clothes (he can't stand it if something pulls or is too short or too long or... and we have a lot of outfit changes in the morning when they don't feel comfortable) and about this short he spontaneous said they feel great!"

Samantha Sim - @SammieSeams:
"This pattern is a staple for any boy's wardrobe! Easy to sew, and both my boys love the shorts I sewed up for them! The instructions are clear and easy to follow!"

Stella Bonafede:

Enjoy the pattern on release sale until Monday, October 26th!
Happy sewing.
