THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF SEWING PATTERN
This pleat front ladies shorts sewing pattern has 2 main style options to sew - a full elastic waistband or shaped waistband with side zip. Optional pockets, belt loops & sash.
As with all Pattern Emporium patterns, the sewing instructions outline how to achieve a professional looking finish.
STYLE 1: The Pull-On Hepburn Shorts
If you're after a super quick pair, you can make the elastic waist version with the Easy Pull-On Shorts. The are not as tailored as the Hepburns but they do have some of the same features & some extras.
STYLE 2: The Zipped (Tailored) Hepburn Shorts
This is a very relaxed design. It features a low sitting waistband & easy crotch. These are not 'snug fit' shorts.
* Don't let the zip scare you, I have a very simple method that will have you excited about how quickly & easily you now insert zips.
