Swing Shorts

Size Guide

$14.50 AUD

THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF SEWING PATTERN.

If you're after a pair of shorts that sit beautifully around the torso & swing out softly over the thighs, with no hugging in sight, this is the pair of shorts for you.

Why are they so great? These shorts look a lot like a skirt with all the benefits of a pair of shorts. Dressed up or down, they are the perfect compliment to your spring & summer wardrobe.

Playing in the park, doing the grocery shopping, having coffee with the girls or a date with someone special, the Ladies Swing Shorts are ideal. They are the beautifully feminine shorts that are easy to dress up for the office or a date or down for the park. And they won't fly up & show your fancy knickers like a skirt will.
