<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\nThe best thing about these shorts is that\nit requires only a small piece of fabric \u2013 sometimes the left over fabric from\nyour bigger project will be enough to make one or two pairs of these shorts.\nAnd they are almost fool-proof! I have seen no one saying they failed making\nthem! So new sewists, roll your sleeves and jump on in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This pattern is made for kids from 1 to 8\nyears old. Choose the size proper to the age of the kid that you want to sew\nfor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pattern is made using layered PDF,\nplease check for your desired size before printing so you won\u2019t waste your\npaper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and\nprinting, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size\nyou need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for\nthe instruction here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can print this using your home\nprinter and A4\/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be\nable to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always\nprint the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing\nat the right scale before you print out the whole pattern \u2013 avoid waste of ink\nand waste of paper, save the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some PC may print smaller than actual\nsize even when you choose 100% scale \u2013 I don\u2019t know why this problem exist, but\nmy HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the\nright size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to\nsize, if not, scale up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW TO SEW THE KID\u2019S BASIC ELASTIC WAIST SHORTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a beginner project, so no advance\nskill is needed. You just need to know how to sew a straight line. Of course,\nfor stretch fabric, you will need to be a bit more careful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What fabric can be used for this project?\nAs it is a cozy sized piece of garment, you can choose either knit or woven\nfabric. I prefer using jersey for it as it is soft and gentle to the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much fabric do you need for this piece\nof garment? Not too much, I use my scrap fabric for this project all the time\n\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cutting instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After printing out and taping all the pattern\npages together, you will get something similar to this image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will see that there are 2 sets of\nlines on each pattern size. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along\nthese lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along\nthese lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric\nbefore cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam\nallowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam\nallowance is about 1\/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch\n(2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the\npattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to\ngive at each seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fabric will be cut into following pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to mark all notches and other\ndesign features such as pleats etc. from the pattern piece onto your fabric.\nWhen sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sewing instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Serge the fabric to prevent fraying.\nIf you use non fraying fabric (like fleece or knitted fabric), you can skip\nthis step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Place Right Front Piece and Right Back\nPiece right side facing. Pin and sew the side hem. Repeat with the left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Pin and sew the inseam of the pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Turn one leg inside out. Push it into\nthe other leg. Match the seam, pin and sew the crotch seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Fold the waistband down toward the\nwrong side of the pants. Sew the elastic casing. Leave about 2 inches (5cm) to\ninsert elastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Insert elastic from the opening. Sew\ntwo ends of the elastic \u2013 make sure the elastic is not twisted in the casing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Close the opening at the waist. You\ncan stretch the waistband and sew another line right at the middle of the\nelastic to prevent it from getting twisted (optional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Hem the shorts. And you\u2019ve made it!\nYou can also attach a piece of cord for decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n And here is the download link: <\/p>\n\n\n\n KID\u2019S BASIC ELASTIC WAIST SHORTS (SIZE 1-8 YEARS OLD)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shorts-1024x903.png\")
