I’ve made four skorts for pickleball—so far. I lengthened the hem of the skirt, side panels, and compression shorts to that of the largest size. I also further modified the pocket by lowering the opening to 3/4” above the notch, and deepened the pockets by sewing as close to the hem as I could. I’ve received plenty of compliments on my skorts and everyone falls in love with the easy access pockets. I can fit two pickleballs in each pockets. I will most definitely be making more of these. I have also worn the skorts after pickleball (errands, casual restaurants) and didn’t feel self conscious about being in activewear.

I absolutely love the hot shorts. I have made these multiple times. However I have recently noticed that a few of my dancers have complained about the tightness around the leg area, so I have been having to go up a size in the legs.
I always go by waist and hip measurements so I know I am not off with the sizing. I think if they are a very active person you are sewing these for I would go up a size in the leg area. The waist size is spot on though.

I love this pattern! I wear my Jalie skirt on all my long runs because it is comfortable, stays put, never rides up, and I love the side pockets for my phone and keys!

Et qui a dit que pour bouger les filles doivent mettre de côté la coquetterie ? Au contraire, cette jupe intemporelle, pratique, jolie est parfaite pour jogger ou faire de la marche rapide. Ces panneaux nous permettent de laisser libre cours à notre imagination et de mélanger les tissus et coloris. Ses poches intégrées se font en un tour de main et on y glisse le téléphone et la clé de la maison. Cette jupe facile à coudre peut être allongée afin de convenir à tous les âges. Sa culotte intégrée offre un bon support aux muscles et tissus des cuisses. J'ai des plans pour en faire plusieurs !!!

Great directions and a fairly quick sew. When I first tried it on, I was skeptical that it would stay up for a run. But I was very pleasantly pleased when it stayed up for a ten mile run with no problems and no chafing! Love, love, LOVE the pockets - perfect for holding my phone, keys, and gels when I run. And the pattern fit well with no adjustments. Very pleased!
