So ever since I saw these little shorts on the Katie Did blog, I've been dying to make a pair or more for Tira -the wild park-goer. So here is my concoction and I've made an extra pair to share. I don't have any action shots of these yet but I wanted to get the giveaway started anyways.
Tira is a tall 2 year old and I made these off of her measurements but I think they may very well fit up to a 4 year old but I'll give you some measurements so you can judge that.
UPDATE: these are kinda big on Tira, who usually wears a 2T. I'll be taking hers up in the rise area but I'm keeping these the same for the giveaway so that the measurements are right. But That means it's probably better suited for a 3 or 4 year old.
Waist: 19 stretches to 24"
Hips: 26"
Rise (from the front waist under the crotch to the back waist): 17"
Remember they need wiggle room these aren't stretchy bicycle shorts or anything like that. (The 80's are back but not that back) The little deer fabric is a fun light weight canvas so I hope that it will provide Tira and the winner of this giveaway may days of sliding and swinging at the park.

I loved this exact same pair of shorts! I looked all over for a vintage pattern, current pattern, etc. but couldn't find one. Nice job, and the deer are darling.
so cute!
I totally blogged about those Katie Did shorts too. Funny! I've posted a link back to your giveaway on my Facebook page.

Those would fit my little girl perfectly! Love them!
I love the fabric you used, just darling! Those shorts are the cutest too! I linked you to facebook and also my blog. I loved those shorts off of katiedid (well I love all the clothes she makes really), and was someday going to sit down and try to work out how to make something similar. You did a fabulous job!

Those shorts are fabulous...that fawn pattern is magnificent! I mean, just a apir of shorts has me all inspired to get out the sewing machine!
