Maja and Malte shorts

See the fabric requirements among the pictures.

YOU WILL NEED:

- Knit fabric with at least 30% stretch, preferably 4-way stretch (the fabric stretches horizontally and vertically). The fabric should be light to medium weight (approx. 135-270 gr/m2). I recommend for example jersey, french terry, ponte di roma, terry cloth and velour. Choose lightweight fabric for the side seam pockets.

You can also make the shorts in woven fabrics, for example: cotton, linen, seersucker, double gauze, viscose. Choose 1 size larger to make up for no stretch.

- Elastic, for the waist. Length and width in the fabric requirements chart.

USEFUL TO HAVE:

Aqua glue marker, elastic threader or safety pin, tape measure, fabric scissors, pins/clips, iron, a sewing machine with matching thread, as well as a suitable needle. For knit fabrics, a stretch needle is usually recommended, and for woven fabrics use a universal needle.

See the size guide among the pictures.

Choose size based on the child’s measurements in width: waist width and hip width. If the child’s height doesn’t correspond to the same size, I recommend that you lengthen/shorten or blend sizes. For example, if the child is 55 cm in waist width and 62 cm in hip width (size 110) but only 98 cm tall - choose size 110 and shorten the front and back to size 98.
