Basic Kids' Shorts — athletic shorts with front print

Cotton athletic shorts pattern with an elasticized waist and a large front print, a basic for unisex kids' apparel lines.

Short shorts with an elasticized waist, no visible drawcord, and a large-letter print on the front that takes up much of the front panel. The thick, matte knit corresponds to a brushed cotton like a lightweight fleece.

Cut them in fleece or a thick cotton jersey so the print comes out even and the shorts keep their shape through washing. A high-turnover basic for unisex kids' summer lines, it can be repeated in several solid colors with the same print.

It comes in 9 sizes (2 to 18) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.

Professional sewing pattern for unisex kids, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
