Pool shorts that don�t look sloppy

I made the Luca in US 40 for my partner and the fit surprised me�in a good way. The elastic + drawstring sits at the natural waist without bunching, and the length lands nicely at mid-thigh. I used a poly jersey with good recovery and the side pockets turned out practical for everyday wear.

Cormac R.
First time sewing a welt pocket

I�m an intermediate sewist and picked this pattern mainly to try the back welt pocket. The instructions were clear enough that I didn�t feel like I was guessing, and the finished pocket looks clean from the outside. Sewed US 42 and didn�t need to alter the rise.

E
Elodie S.
Quick win on the projector

Cut this on the projector file and it was a smooth process�especially with the seam allowance on a separate layer. I stitched a US 38 in a Saturday afternoon using a swim jersey, and the waistband came together without drama. They�ve been worn more as �walk to the beach� shorts than actual swimwear so far.

B
Brant H.
Comfortable for lounging around

I wanted something my husband would actually wear, so I chose Luca in US 44 and used a light terry with stretch. The shorts feel relaxed but still look tidy because the silhouette isn�t overly baggy. He�s already asked for a second pair with a shorter inseam.

S
Sylvie K.
Great fit, tiny tweak at the waist

I sewed US 36 and shortened the elastic by about 1 cm because my fabric was extra springy. The drawstring helps fine-tune the fit, and the pockets don�t flare out. I�m happy with how �normal clothes� they look when styled with a plain tee.

If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the fit you prefer (looser or tighter) and the type of fabric you'll use, as some fabrics have more give. All patterns include finished garment measurements which can be helpful to know how much ease or extra room is built into the design.
