Explore shorts sewing patterns for shorts and skorts with different waist and pocket finishes.

Compare the construction

Check the rise, leg opening and room for sitting before choosing a design. A skort adds an outer skirt layer, so compare its coverage and weight with the shorts underneath.

• Tailored Pleated Shorts
• Integrated Shorts Skort

Compare woven and stretch skorts

The woven skort uses a side opening and stable woven fabric. The Stretch Running Skort is a separate proposal with fitted knit undershorts, a gusset and a pull-on waist. Stretch, comfort and movement need sample testing; athletic performance is not established.
