These girls shorts are so easy to make! You can use wovens or knit fabric. With wovens they fit comfortable and with knits, roomy. Babies should wear disposable diapers for a perfect fit. The waist has a lower rise than regular shorts and has elastic.
The leg length is school approved in most cases. They are modest with a touch of fun with the optional ruching on the front legs. For visual help, here is a video tutorial for the ruching: https://youtu.be/gy4HlzPxwvA
To pick the right size and yardage, please refer to the chart (see images).
Tip for a more relaxed fit: upsize for a roomier fit and higher rise, keep the leg length the same.

The name of these shorts says it all. You can sew these up in 30 minutes and get a perfect fit. I LOVE the length for my very active modest child. Comfortable and can be made in Wovens, Bottom Weight and knit fabrics. This is a must have pattern for the beginner to the advanced sewist.
