I just had to look for myself, I have made 11 pairs of sketchbook shorts and 4 shirts and one dress made from the shirt. Hardly as many as you… 🙂
I love the shorts shortened with a cuff for my daughter’s school shorts… I see a lot of people using the pattern in many ways for girls too.

Thanks Tamara, I think that is what I need to do is sew on the piping to the shirt facing before I fold it over. I couldn’t get there with my own brain. I appreciate it.
Thanks Sherry.. I will check out your link.

Highpowermom, Thanks so much for posting the pictures. It helps to see it for sure. I was going to try an even skinnier leg then the straightleg for an outfit for project run and play sew along, but I ended up changing it to a shorts outfit. I still want to try the trousers with the straightleg just as you did, for my son. They look perfect.

Thankyou! I actually had saw that tutorial, but I am looking to keep the trouser look of the top of the pants with the pleats, and just skinny the leg up for a boys pair of pants. I was thinking I should start from the hip area and just skim some off the outside and maybe the inside. After rereading this, I think that *may* work.
