The Workwear Short Pattern
The Workwear Short pattern is for the confident beginner sewer! Designed to be timeless, yet durable enough for your everyday adventures. Added drawcord for adjustability and added bartacks on pockets so this short will never fail you.
This is more than just a pair of shorts — it’s a circular pattern. Drafted so you can cut it from our Workwear Jacket (hello, upcycling!), from a thrifted garment, or straight from new fabric. However you choose to make it, the result is a pair of shorts that feel as good as they look, with a roomy fit, comfortable elastic waistband, and yes 4 pockets! (We love pockets)

"If you are looking to level up your sewing, this is for you! The beautiful design elements of this jacket make it stand out, I will be wearing this for years to come!"
"This vest pattern is so fun to make!"
"the added details like the gusset, fly, side panel make them feel special, Ive already made 2 pairs!
The perfect beginner friendly pattern! I was able to still learn some new things (like the binding around the bodice corners) without being too intimidated. The YouTube sew along is super helpful too!
