✂️ RUFFLE WRAP SHORTS — PDF SEWING PATTERN
Eight versions. One pattern. One afternoon each.

Start with a mid-high waisted short that actually flatters, then decide what kind of summer you're having. Add the curved wrap-over panel and it reads as a skirt from the front while staying shorts underneath. Add ruffles at the front, the back, the wrap edge — or leave them off entirely for a clean tailored line. Swap the invisible zip for a soft elastic waistband and you have pyjama shorts, loungewear, or a holiday pair you'll live in.

Same pattern. Completely different garments depending on your fabric.

📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED
· Full illustrated instruction manual, in English
· A0 copyshop pattern board
· A4 print-at-home pattern board
· All 8 versions covered in one file
· Cutting layouts and fabric requirements for each version

🎀 THE 8 VERSIONS
· Wrap-front skort WITH ruffled edge
· Wrap-front skort WITHOUT ruffle — clean and tailored
· Classic shorts WITH ruffled hem
· Classic shorts WITHOUT ruffle
· Front ruffle only
· Back ruffle only
· Casual elastic-waist version WITH ruffle
· Casual elastic-waist version WITHOUT ruffle
Remove the ruffles and you can also play with the leg length for a longer or shorter pair.

🧵 SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate. You'll be inserting an invisible zip, gathering a ruffle evenly, and sewing a curved overlay panel. None of it is difficult on its own, and every step is illustrated — but this is a better second or third garment than a first one. The elastic-waist version is noticeably easier if you want to start there.

🧺 FABRIC & MATERIALS (not included)
· Recommended fabric: something with drape — lightweight cotton, viscose, light crepe, cotton double gauze, lightweight linen. Elastane is not needed.
· Fabric, 55" / 140 cm wide:
   · Without front, back or wrap ruffles — 1¼ yd / 1.10 m
   · With front, back and wrap ruffles — 1½ yd / 1.35 m
· For the zip version: one 7" / 18 cm invisible zip in a matching colour, 8" / 20 cm of iron-on stay tape, and optionally 35" / 90 cm of 1½" / 4 cm matching bias binding
· For the casual version: 1¼" / 3 cm flat elastic, cut to your waist measurement
· Matching thread
