Striped paperbag shorts with waist tie sewing pattern for women — Joa Shorts

Joa Shorts is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: striped paperbag shorts with waist tie.
High-rise shorts with a gathered paperbag waist finished with a fabric tie to knot at the front, a loose leg with side pockets, in a vertical stripe print on a light background.
A lightweight woven holds the gathers of the paperbag waist best without losing shape; poplin or linen works best, and it also shows off the stripe pattern well. Cut both legs in the same direction so the stripes match.
Recommended fabrics: Poplin, Linen, Batiste and Rayon blend (fibrana).
