⛱️The summer sewing every kid will actually WEAR...

There's something really satisfying about making clothes that get genuinely worn — not just held up and admired, then folded away. Kids' shorts are one of those projects. They're simple enough to finish in an afternoon, and kids will actually put them on and run outside in them the very same day.

These free shorts use an elastic waistband and jersey knit fabric, which means no zippers, no buttonholes, no fussing. The pattern covers sizes 5 through 14, so it works for a wide range of kids. If you've been wanting to try garment sewing but the idea of fitting and closures has felt intimidating, this is a wonderful place to start.
