Kids Pants & Shorts Sewing Pattern

The Kids Pants & Shorts sewing pattern combines a relaxed fit, an elastic waistband, and practical pockets in a versatile design for all kinds of adventures. Because everyday clothes should be comfortable, practical, and fun to wear.

Sew lightweight linen shorts for warm summer days, or choose soft cotton or denim for a pair of everyday trousers. Play with colors, prints, and textures to create something as individual as the kids who wear them.
