I was able to sneak in just enough sewing time this weekend to complete these four pairs of shorts for the Hopeful Threads July Boys’ Shorts Sewing project, plus one more pair for Charlie. I am donating four pairs of shorts sewn from my Mud Puddle Splashers pattern in honor of our four boys.
The Monkeys and Puppies are size 3T which is Charlie’s current size.
The Lizards and the Trains are size 6 which is Jamie’s current size.
I made all four pairs with all the optional extras that I included in the pattern, and I added one more thing . . . back pockets! Aren’t they cute? (My husband really likes me to put back pockets on the pants that I make for our boys. He thinks they really make them look finished.) This pocket is quick and easy, and tomorrow, I’ll have the pocket pattern along with a tutorial on how to add one to the shorts that you’re sewing!
How’s your sewing going? If you haven’t already downloaded it, be sure to check out this post for the free Mud Puddle Splashers pattern that I created just for this project: The Mud Puddle Splashers
Very, very cute! I tend to agree with your husband. These shorts will make some boys very happy!
These turned out great!!! And I love the back pockets! I’ll have to add those on my next pairs! 🙂
I love the back pocket! I’m gonna have to add that to the rest of the shorts I make.
The back pocket looks so darling! Really gives them that extra umph!
Those are SO cute! I love the addition of the back pocket. Thank you so much for the free pattern. I’ve already made two pair and have 5 more cut out. Such a quick & easy pattern, I love it! Looking forward to sending several on Hopeful Threads.
I absolutely love the fabric choices and finished products! I’ll be watching for the back pocket tut (the perfect way to complete the shorts!), as I’m printing the pattern right now. I’m determined to help out with at least one pair of shorts, even if it takes me the whole month to sew them, lol!
I am just now finding these shorts. I’d like to make some for my grandsons. I will gladly make some for the charity if that is still an option. Is there any way I can get this pattern?
