Scrappy Boy Shorts

I pinned these shorts on pinterest because I figured they looked cool and easy enough to sew (minus the zipper, belt loops, and pockets of course):


I had plenty of blue plaid scraps to use up.  I cut a million eighty-four 3" squares, sewed them into 12 strips of 7 squares each, and then sewed together the strips.  The rest of the steps went by quickly and is like making any pair of kid shorts.

Here is my 3 year old, throwing a temper tantrum because I made him try on the shorts.  It really was the end of the world, you know.


And here are a few shots of him a little later, post-tantrum. He eventually warmed up to the shorts :)

  1. They look great! I like the way you pared down the design to make it simpler but kept its overall look. I must remember that for future sewing projects that seem too complicated.
