Perfect holiday loungewear, made four pairs

I made four pairs of Marina shorts before a holiday and they were the most-used garments in my suitcase. Lightweight cotton pairs are ideal for hot evenings and French terry pairs for cooler mornings. This is now a staple pattern in my rotation.

K
Kirra J.
Size L slightly roomy in the thigh area

I found the thigh area of the size L a little roomy for my frame, though the drawstring waist compensates well. I could have taken in the side seams slightly but chose to leave it for a more relaxed fit. Overall I am happy with these shorts and wear them regularly.

First drawstring casing project, no issues

I had never sewn a drawstring casing before and was worried it would be fiddly. The Marina guide made the process genuinely simple and I had a clean, even casing on my first try. A great pattern for learning this technique in a low-stakes context.

D
Delara O.
Extended inseam makes a longer short style

I added an inch to the inseam length because I prefer slightly longer shorts. The modification was straightforward and the proportions of the waistband to the leg still look balanced. My version in a linen stripe is very wearable for summer outings.

A
Amorette S.
Intermediate sewist found this very easy indeed

I have been sewing for three years and found the Marina shorts almost too easy, which is not a complaint. They were the perfect light project to tackle between more complex makes. The result is clean and the construction is efficient.
