HIGH WAISTED EVERYDAY SHORTS (TWO LENGTHS) 

SIZE 4 TO 30AU / 34 TO 60EU

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

 

Skill level: This pattern suits an advanced beginner or intermediate sewist.

 

Style notes: The MARLO shorts for women are chic and casual. They have a high-waisted fit and a large elasticated waistband that provides support and ease of wear. 

The Marlo shorts have large slashed pockets and are finished with French seams.

Its timeless design has two views, view A is an upper-knee/bermuda style and view B is a mid-thigh length with a cuffed hem.

Recommended fabrics: From mid-weight to heavy-weight linen, cotton twill, soft denim, corduroy or any crisp, natural woven fabrics with medium to low drape (meaning that the fabric is slightly stiff when hanging). If using heavy-weight fabric such as suiting fabrics or corduroy, it is recommended to use a lightweight material for the pocket lining.

If you are not sure which fabric to use, look up the hashtag #marlomimitoon Instagram for inspiration.
