I just could not help myself - we just had to have a cool pair of coordinating shorts to go with our new shirt!
Notice the shoes? I think we are a little Dr. Seuss crazy around here!
Anyway, I used my go-to shorts pattern - omitted the front pockets, added a side pocket, then digitized a graffiti type font and embroidered "Dr. Seuss" down the left leg. Cute, no?
Here's the final review for those who are interested:
Pattern Description -
Toddler Separates
Pattern Sizing - 1/2 -4. I made a size 2. Jake is 27 months old, but he's in the 90 percentiles.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, taking into the account the changes I made.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Really like the fit. No dislikes.
Fabric Used: Left over poly microfiber from DH's board shorts.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Omitted front pockets, added patch side pocket. No decorative top stitching. Added embroidery down the left leg by digitizing a graffiti type font.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Conclusion:
We have been a little Dr. Seuss crazy around here! This is my go-to pattern right now for sewing separate for our lil' man. After making the button down shirt, we just had to have some cool looking shorts to go with it.
