We recommend knit fabrics with at least 50% stretch. The shorts need to be 4-way stretch lycra blend fabric, which means it stretches with both with the grain and perpendicular to the grain. Requirements for fabric and notions are listed in the last photo.

So easy to sew, great comfortable cool skort for those hot days. I love that I don’t have to worry about my grabby kids showing off anything they shouldn’t! Great options take it from sports to every day to work and church appropriate!

This skort so needed to be in my closet. It is just my style; casual, comfy, cute, and with enough options to keep me busy for a while! I love the first one I made and now want more colors! I want to make swim bottoms with it too. Awesome directions, as usual! You won’t regret this one!

I think this is my favorite pattern for ME! It is such a quick, easy sew, yet the options (and fabric choices) help you customize a skirt for so many different activities: athletic wear, swim wear, lounge wear – even date night! I made one with stretch denim and added pockets from the Zen Pants pattern, and it is perfect for a casual dinner or night at the movies with my hubby. The tutorial is easy to understand with clear instructions and great graphics – there’s even a video for the shorts gusset assembly which is very helpful if you never sewn one before. I made my daughter one first (the Girl’s Shenanigans), and I am so glad I finally made one for myself!

I LOVE this pattern! I made it during the sew-along and used leftover fabric from some ninjas I made. The skort is so comfortable and easy to move in. The only thing I wish I could figure out is how to keep it from riding up when I jog! I think my flip belt that I carry my phone in catches it, so maybe I need to add a pocket next time so I won’t need to wear the belt when jogging.
