I recently tested the new Skylar Pants/Shorts pattern by Made for Mermaids. I wasn’t sure about it – they are a low drop style. DS said he was willing to try them.

They were a super quick sew and I love the way the pockets are finished – they’re just serged, but it such a neat look.

In the end, DS wasn’t in love with them. He said they would be good sleepy shorts, but he wouldn’t wear them out. I had to convince him that taking pictures in the backyard was OK.

The pattern also comes with a pants option, but for us I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. He’s just not a fan of the low drop style. Maybe the shorter shorts length made it feel more like a girly style?

However, if this is your kids style, this pattern is for you! Like I said, it’s super easy and it includes options for front and back pockets as well as shorts or pants. Get it here.
