shorts for the munchkin

And here are shorts for the toddler! They are a variation of Made's Kid Pants with Flat Front converted into shorts and added pockets.

The floral print is just supposed to be a tester fabric, but it's pretty cute and she has a shirt that goes with it.

The real fabric is khaki cotton twill (just like the shorts for her older sister).

And did I mention she is a bit of a ham in front of the camera? =)

khaki shorts

Here are the khaki shorts! I really like being able to whip together a pair of shorts in three hours. Of course, I probably could do it faster without constantly being interrupted. Ah, the glamorous life of a Mama.

shorts for the kids

With summer upon us, I thought it would be a good idea to whip up a few pairs of shorts for each of the kids.

I easily found a pattern for the unborn one. It's Made By Rae's Basic Newborn Pants. OK, not really shorts, but will cover the tiny hiney.

The wild child gets a variation of Made's Kid Pants with Flat Front. Once again, not shorts, but easily converted into shorts.

The oldest took more of a search. I couldn't find anything in commercial patterns I liked, but after some online searching, found this PDF pattern on etsy.

I decided to make these first. I like the pockets and overall style, however, they were way too short for my liking, so I added 5" to the length. The photo is the 'muslin'. I like them. She likes them. All is well. The next pair will be khaki twill.
