High-rise pleated shorts with side pockets sewing pattern for women — Shorts 320-L

Shorts 320-L is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: high-rise pleated shorts with side pockets.
The shorts have a high waist with deep pleats at the front that add volume, side pockets hidden in the seam, and a wide leg with a straight hem above the knee.
A woven fabric made of natural or blended fibers, such as linen or rustic cotton, works best, holding the pleats without turning stiff. Cut notches to mark the pleats so they do not shift when sewing the waistband.
Recommended fabrics: Linen, Rustic cotton and Poplin.
