High-rise athletic shorts with textured waist sewing pattern for women — Shorts 16

Shorts 16 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: high-rise athletic shorts with textured waist.
High-rise athletic shorts with a wide waistband in a textured knit, a body with a speckled print, and a curved hem at the sides that tapers toward the center.
Suplex or polyester jersey with plenty of spandex works best so the wide waistband does not roll and the shorts move with you during training. Sew the textured waistband in a fabric with more elastic recovery than the body of the shorts.
Recommended fabrics: Suplex, Polyester jersey, Spandex (lycra) and Athletic set fabric.
