Free pattern: Pom pom trim shorts

Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shares a free sewing pattern for these pom pom trim shorts. My daughter would looooove for me to make her a pair of these, I know! Melissa’s free pattern comes in a women’s size small. If you need another size, you may be able to adjust it using a basic shorts pattern (or perhaps just a pair of shorts that fit you) as a guide.
