Gathered-waist shorts with side ribbon bows sewing pattern for women — Women's Shorts 21

Women's Shorts 21 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: gathered-waist shorts with side ribbon bows.
The shorts have a gathered, elasticized waist, a loose cut through the leg, and a two-tone ribbon running along each side, finished with three decorative bows. The base color is pastel pink.
To hold the waist gathering, they work best in cotton jersey or pique, with poplin as a firmer alternative. Apply the side ribbon before closing the side seam so it comes out neat.
