By now you already know how awesome amazing the new MADE Kid Shorts Pattern is. Right? Right. 🙂
I felt super lucky to be a tester and to review the pattern. Dana’s attention to detail is superb and she has designed it so well, it practically sews itself.
And now, it’s your turn to feel lucky… because three of you are going to win a copy!
Feel free to do a happy dance. I’m doing one for you. 🙂
This pattern is unique. You purchase just the pattern pieces and then follow the different tutorials for each variation (and there are many) on Dana’s blog.
See the basic shorts, the flat front shorts, shorts with pockets, and racer shorts…for a look at her list of shorts tutorials so far.
What makes this so genius, is that she keeps adding more options and more tutorials over time, making that pattern purchase worth every single penny and more. It’s just $6 for sizes 12 m to 10 years!!
And the fit? Spot on.
Of course. What else would you expect from Dana?
I sewed up two pairs for Owen both with flat fronts. Â I used the size 7 shorts with a size 8 length.
For one I used bias tape detailing and an extra little bias taped pocket in the back. The second one I kept pretty basic, and just added front pockets.
The finish on these short is so professional. Whenever I see them in a pile of laundry I have to do a double take to see if it’s the pair I really hand made…even when it’s inside out. That makes me happy.
They also aren’t like every pair of shorts in the stores though either. I love the design and how they stand out in a cool way.
Are you ready to win your own copy of the KID Shorts Pattern already!? 🙂
Simply leave a comment.
*ONE comment per person. Please include your email address.

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED.

I love these! I have the hardest time trying to find shorts for my kids, who are too skinny and too tall to fit anything in the stores! Personalizing them may be the best solution …
