Hey there! Have you been looking for a simple and quick sewing project for a little girl in your life? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you! Allie from Freshly Completed has created a fantastic pattern for toddler shorts that are easy to make and super cute.

These Simple Shorts are versatile and can be made with or without in-seam pockets. The best part is, Allie made a pair in just 45 minutes! Can you believe it? The pattern she created is designed for her petite 2 1/2-year-old daughter and is available in one size. But don’t worry, if you need a different size, it should be easy to make adjustments.

Whether you’re an experienced seamstress or just starting out, these shorts are a great project to add to your sewing repertoire. They’re perfect for the summer months, and you can choose fun, playful prints or opt for a more classic look with solid colors. The possibilities are endless!

    Hi
    I’m a beginner at sewing and am so excited to give this pattern a go.
    Can you please tell me, how far in do you sew from the edge of the pattern?
    I just don’t want to go in too far and then make the shorts too small.

    Thanks

      Her pattern doesn’t give a seam allowance but usually they are 1/2 inch. Good luck with sewing some shorts! –Anne

    Is the pattern the same for boys? Thanks, Merril

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
