Are you going to sew your children some clothes this Spring? I'm going to challenge myself to make their Spring wardrobe this year! That means some shorts and pants for my son and dresses, capris, tops and skirts for my daughter that are all mix and match. I figure I have all this fabric so I might as well use it! :)
Here is the first pair of shorts I made for my son. I used my Classic Fit Pants sewing pattern, but cut a 6 and 1/2 inch inseam instead of tracing the entire pant leg (to make a size 5T). Then I sewed on the pockets before assembling the pants and then followed all the pant directions and gave it a hem. Easy sew shorts!!
You'll notice one pocket the stripes don't match up, but since he will be running around outside, I'm not sure it matters. I tried a new tab pocket style and I think I love it! I just used a 2 and 1/2 inch bias tape strip, looped it and stuck it under the pocket when I sewed it on. Boyish detail, right?
Here are some pictures.
So far my Spring Wardrobe sewing includes:
*a seersucker shirt for my son (CLICK HERE TO SEE)
*this pair of shorts
I will keep you posted as I make more of my kids' Spring wardrobe! Next up is my daugther's seersucker Easter dress!

That fabric just screams spring. I wish it was that warm in Ohio. We're still stuck around 40 degrees.
