Oh, how I love these! You can’t go wrong with some ‘business in the front, party in the back’ clothes for kids. These shorts are certainly a bit of fun! This is my last make from the Sew Fab Pattern Bundle and I’ve been so impressed with each of the patterns I have used.
This pattern is the Terra’s Treasures Long Beach Board Shorts. It’s a great pattern with an awesome size range (3-6mo – 14yr) and long leg length for boys and short for girls.
I used the blue drill on the front and back, and the octopus printed poplin on the contrast bum panel. Despite the detailing, these are a pretty quick sew, especially if you already have some piping on hand. I’m planning on making many more pair of these!
Roman doesn’t like his shorts too long, so I made these up in the size 4, but using the size 2 length. The fit is perfect on him.

How awesome Abby. My ‘big’ boy would love these and like you prefers shorter shorts so I might make the length a couple of sizes smaller too.

haha! They should have named them the “mullet” shorts (business in the front, party in the back)!! Love your version with the octopuses 🙂

These are so cool! I have never even thought to make my own – but really like the idea of less ingredients & being able to use natural food colouring! Well worth pinning!! 🙂

Wow, I would never have thought about making sprinkles. How cool. I know these are things for boys, but I’m pretty damn sure my girls would LOVE this one. Pinning it now xx
abby @ thingsforboys says
haha! Yes, boys AND girls.
