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.

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Maker's Studio I always know Halloween season has officially arrived when I pull out this hat pattern. It's simple fleece and a little shaping, but the second you add horns, ears, or antlers, it turns into a costume centerpiece kids beg to wear all season long. I love a costume that starts as a "real" sewing pattern instead of something flimsy from a costume aisle. This one holds up — literally and figuratively. Show me the tutorial You...

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Maker's Studio We're down to the wire now, and if your porch still needs something, this is the one I'd grab. A tomato cage, a sheet, a little shaping — and suddenly you've got a glowing ghost that looks like it took hours instead of one quick evening. It's the kind of project that makes neighbors stop and ask where you got it. Tell them you made it. It'll make their week. Show me the porch ghost tutorial You might also love: Free Halloween...
