Little Boys’ Fire Truck Shorts

My energetic three-year-old thinks firefighters are super interesting.

He actually calls them “pirepighters”.

Anyway, I had some red twill (that I got for free!) He loves when his clothes have pictures of trucks, diggers, or basketballs, so I figured I’d try something with fire trucks.

These shorts were an instant hit.

I just freezer paper stenciled an itty-bitty fire truck onto some scrap fabric and stitched it to the shorts.

Here’s the back:

I mentioned in my baby shorts tutorial how I love detail on children’s clothing. I did a lot of extra stitching around each seam.

Instead of tracing my own pattern from the 2T or 3T size shorts my three-year-old wears, I used this pattern & tutorial from Dana over at MADE. I love everything she makes. 

Thanks for stopping by.
