The Short Version of E+M Children's Pants Pattern #2 and Giveaway

Remember these pants from the end of last week? Well JubeJube loved them so much that I had to make her another pair...and since we're going into spring (I hope, there's still a lot of snow on the ground here) why not make the short version available in E+M's Pants Pattern (with just a little modification).


I love that these are not short shorts. It makes it so mush easier to dress up with a cute little blouse...and off to grandma's house we go! And also easy to wear with a plain tee...and off to the beach we go! Not to worry, these shorts (and pants) can also be made for boys and the sizes range from 2-10! Change up the fabric and add the pleated pocket instead of the ruffled pocket, you could also add a little cargo pocket to side of the pant leg.


I added a cuff and the little button tab. 



The front waist lays flat and there's an elastic at the back of the wasit. Love those practical hip pockets. I just have to remember to check them before throwing them in the wash.


And they're JubeJube approved because, yes I got a smile out of her! She also know that another kiddo will be able to wear these comfy shorts (or pants) because E+M Patterns is giving away their Children's Pants Pattern #2 to one lucky reader! Enter now with Rafflecopter, giveaway ends on the 27th of March at 12am EST.

  1. My poor son needs me to sew for him. His sister gets dress after dress and all he has is a pair of not quite fitting and not quite finished pajamas I whipped up before bed one night for him. These would be perfect.

  2. Those look great - what a versatile pattern. Great when you can do both boy & girl, shorts and pants from one pattern and your version gives a great example. Love it.
