Busy Boys | Shorts PDF Sewing Pattern

The Busy Boys Shorts are designed for active kids who need comfortable shorts that can keep up with every adventure. With an easy pull-on elastic waistband and a choice of three lengths, they're quick to sew, comfortable to wear and packed with practical details.

Whether you prefer a simple everyday pair or fully featured cargo shorts, you decide how much detail to add. Choose from front and back pockets, optional cargo pockets, pocket flaps, tabs and topstitching to create anything from a quick afternoon sew to shorts that look just like a favourite store-bought pair.

Designed for woven fabrics, they're easy to fit, easy to wear and built for climbing, exploring and collecting every little treasure along the way.
