Join Lulu Ferris to watch the complete class and sew along at your own pace.
What you’ll make
Sew the Granada Shorts, a casual woven pair with an elastic waistband, two front pockets, and a coordinating fabric belt.
The pockets extend into the waistband area, where stitched openings hold the removable belt.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Stabilize curved and bias-cut edges.
- Prepare and topstitch the shaped front pockets.
- Join the rise, side seams, and inseam.
- Construct and attach the waistband.
- Finish the pocket extensions for the belt.
- Insert and distribute waistband elastic evenly.
- Sew, turn, and finish the fabric belt.
Fabric suggestions
A woven fabric with some body makes the pocket work easier. The class recommends chambray, lightweight denim, linen, rustic cotton, or a linen-look woven.
Viscose or satin can be used, but the pockets will be harder to handle. Knit fabric is also possible, although the design was developed for a more structured woven.
Make it your own
Try on the shorts before hemming if you prefer a shorter length. Finish the hems with straight stitching, twin-needle rows, zigzag, or a decorative stitch.
Pair them with the Basic Tank Top or Verona Bralette Top.
The Madrid T-Shirt is another coordinating option.
Pattern and sizing
The pattern includes sizes 34/36 through 54/56. The body chart spans a 64–110 cm waist and 90–136 cm hips.
