Malia Shorts

Description

The Malia Shorts are the ultimate pull-on shorts pattern.  I’m not embarrassed to admit that I like pull-on shorts. They’re quick and when I’m traveling, they’re typically made from a quick-drying material that doesn’t wrinkle like crazy.  I’m happy that I can now make my own travel shorts…even if I’m not really going anywhere.

Malia can be made as everyday shorts – shopping, carpool, work if you’re casual, you get it – or they can made as active shorts with a built-in brief liner.  Whaaaa–all in one pattern? Yes. All in one pattern.   I can go from preschool drop-off, to CEO (uh because I work from home), to stand-up paddleboarding all in one go. If I ran, I could do that too, but I’d only be running to the ice cream store.

And who says you actually have to BE active in order to wear the gear? You do you, boo-boo.

The Malia Shorts include:

• Sizing is based on our women’s size chart from 0-28
• Woven or stretch woven short
• Optional built-in brief can be made from mesh or nylon lycra
• Form flattering back yoke
• Side seams can be sewn the normal way or overlapped and finished with binding for an extra pop of color
• Maternity/low, mid, and high rise options
• 2 waistband options – contoured or elastic
• 4 inseam lengths – 2″, 5″, 7″, and 9″
• You can see all of our testers’ great versions here!
