Clipper Shorts :: Pattern Release

I have another pattern release to announce!  The Clipper Shorts have set sail to join the Schooner Tee & Dress released in April.  The Clipper Shorts have launched with great fanfare, filling a need for a more classic styled short for kids.

Unisex and sized for children newborn through 12 years, the Clipper Shorts have a range of options appropriate for a beginner through intermediate skill. They are a classic style short that will be perfect for playground or classroom and longer inseam lengths.

• Three fly options: no fly, faux fly, or half fly
• Two waistbands: two piece for use with no or faux fly, or three piece for use with the half fly and button closure
• Optional front pockets and welt back pockets
• Optional pieced shorts to allow for topstitching, trims or colorblocking
• Two lengths: Jamaica – mid-thigh, or Bermuda – above the knee
• Optional waistband tie

I’ve added an extensive section on fitting since shorts/pants often need a little tweaking to get just right.  I also had a nice lightbulb during testing that not everyone has a French curve, so I’ve went ahead and put one on the pattern pieces for you!

I had a release week sale, but I didn’t get myself together to post here about it.

…but… all is not lost!

As some of the options for the Clipper Shorts are more complicated, I’m going to host a sew along starting tomorrow.  I have an event set up in my Facebook group, Sew Jennuine Design, and there’s a code in the event to get the same discount as the release week.  So head over there and join in!  I’ll be posting here with the daily photo tutorial and a special video tutorial for the welt pockets.  All the discussion and fun will be in the Facebook group and event.

The Clipper Shorts work perfectly with the Schooner Tee, and I have one more (unisex) top pattern in mind to go with this mini collection.

I love to see what you make with Jennuine Design patterns.  Join the Sew Jennuine Design  on Facebook and post in there and follow me on Instagram and hashtag with #clippershortspattern so I can see!!
