How to sew Victor shorts?

Introducing Victor, the pattern of the month for July, a summer wardrobe staple in a slightly more complex version than our previous shorts. Indeed, Victor is a set of details that make all the difference: piped pockets, pleats on the front that trap shirring, an elasticated back waistband with a strip of pleats, bias binding on the finish... In short, an ideal pattern when you want to test your skills!

But apart from all that, Victor is a pair of shorts that are not only pleasant to wear, but practical and flattering. You can add a detachable waistband if you'd like to make them more fitted, or even play with the length to make them mini shorts or pants!

To sew Victor, you'll need :

-2m30 fabric in 1.40m width, or 2m40 fabric in 1.10m width,
-3cm wide elastic, 
-1 zip 18cm long, 
-1m fusible webbing, 
-50cm bias binding,
-1 20mm-diameter button.
