Tutorial: Make toddler shorts from a man's button up shirtCaroline from Maika shares a tutorial at Imagine Gnats showing how to make a pair of toddler’s shorts out of a man’s button up shirt.  The shirting fabric is a nice weight for spring and summer shorts.  She uses the Kid Shorts pattern from MADE, but this will work with any basic kid’s shorts pattern.  If there’s a front pocket on the shirt, you can repurpose it to a back pocket on the shorts.  Go to Imagine Gnats to find her tutorial.
