The other day my daughter mentioned that she needed some more shorts. I immediately thought, no way! School is starting in a week\u2026it\u2019s basically fall! Then I remembered that it isn\u2019t fall and it\u2019s going to be hot forever because we live in the South. We still have months of shorts appropriate weather. Because school is starting so soon I wanted these shorts to be nicer. Something that made my children look put together rather than thrown together while still being comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/free-patterns\/sunny-day-shorts\/\">Sunny Day Shorts<\/a> pattern. I knew the Sunny Day shorts would be perfect for this project because the fit is just right and the possibilities are endless with this basic pattern!<\/p>\n<p>Because my kids have different needs and different styles, I designed two very different pairs of shorts based on the Sunny Day Shorts pattern.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>J got flowy, airy, culotte shorts in size 4T<\/li>\n<li>A got sturdy, color-blocked shorts with leather pockets in size 2T<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of my pattern alterations are based on the sizes of my children. You may need to add a little more\/less than I did in terms of length and width depending on your child\u2019s size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Culottes: 1 yard of lightweight fabric with nice drape. I used a cotton poly blend fabric with a silky feel. Rayon would also work nicely.<\/li>\n<li>Color-blocked shorts: 3 different colored fabrics. I like twill, broadcloth, denim, and linen for boys shorts.<\/li>\n<li>I bought 1 yard of the denim, \u00bd yard of the beige twill, and \u00bc yard of faux leather for the shorts.<\/li>\n<li>Matching thread<\/li>\n<li>Sewing Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Pins<\/li>\n<li>Sewing Machine<\/li>\n<li>Serger: To finish seams. A zig zag stitch, or pinking shears can be used if you don\u2019t own a serger.<\/li>\n<li>The Sunny Day Shorts pattern as well as instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For the culotte-style shorts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Print off, cut, and tape your pattern together as indicated. Be sure to make all the following pattern alterations for both the shorts back and shorts front pieces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62305\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-1-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62306\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2-760x471.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2-760x471.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2-500x310.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2-768x476.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-2-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62307\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-3-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62308\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-4-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of your pattern pieces should look similar to the pieces in step 5.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62309\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-5-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62310\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Sunny Day Shorts\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Culottes-6-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you would like to add ties cut two pieces that are 25 inches wide and 5 inches long and cut them to a point on one end as shown above.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have cut all your pieces assemble exactly as the pattern directs until you attach the waistband.
