Tailored shorts with elastic back waist sewing pattern for girls — Girls Shorts 16
Girls Shorts 16 is a digital sewing pattern for girls from the Moldey catalog: tailored shorts with elastic back waist.
Straight-cut shorts with marked darts at the front that shape the hip, and a fully elasticized waist at the back for extra comfort. The length reaches mid-thigh and there are no visible pockets.
Given the smooth drape with some body seen in the fabric, a lightweight gabardine or a cotton twill works best, as it holds the front darts well. Sew the darts before putting together the waistband so the front comes out even.
Recommended fabrics: Gabardine, Twill and Poplin.
