Introducing the Hepburn Shorts sewing pattern, marrying timeless elegance with relaxed comfort.
Choose between two styles: the Pull-On Hepburn Shorts for effortless wear with a full elastic waistband, or the Zipped (Tailored) Hepburn Shorts for a more refined look with a shaped waistband and side zip.
Both styles offer optional pockets, belt loops, and a sash for added versatility. The Pull-On version boasts a quick sew and comfy fit, while the Zipped style features a relaxed, semi-tailored design with pleats and darts for added flair.
STYLE 1: The Pull-On Hepburn Shorts
If you're after a super quick pair, you can make the elastic waist version with the Easy Pull-On Shorts. The are not as tailored as the Hepburns but they do have some of the same features & some extras.
STYLE 2: The Zipped (Tailored) Hepburn Shorts
This is a very relaxed design. It features a low sitting waistband & easy crotch. These are not 'snug fit' shorts.
* Don't let the zip scare you, I have a very simple method that will have you excited about how quickly & easily you now insert zips.

Great pattern and lovely shorts. Very clear instructions even for me, an absolute beginner sewer. I've made 3 pairs of the pull on version now and I wear them all the time. Highly recommend.
Hands down best shorts pattern I’ve ever made. I’ve now made 4 pairs. Easy to make.
These are a great fit. I did take 1 inch out of each side of the back for a more fitted look which suited the heavier cotton drill I used.
Great fitting shorts. Have made 2 pairs 'Urban' style in size 14 - no pattern alternations needed! Omitted the pleats on the second pair and they still look good. Happy to recommend this pattern.
Great pattern! Love them!
