Design Your Own Kids Adjustable Waist Shorts
Design Your Own Kids Adjustable Waist Shorts
Made for messy days. Designed by you.
Kindy mornings, playground climbs and afternoons running around out the back. These shorts have a wide-leg cut and knee-length hem, giving little legs room to move while they get on with being kids.
Have a play with my shorts designer and choose your favourite prints and plain colours. You pick the combination and I'll cut and sew your shorts here in Brisbane.
A waistband that adjusts with them
I've used buttonhole elastic and buttons inside the waistband, so you can tighten or loosen the fit to suit your child. Handy when they're between sizes or suddenly seem to have grown overnight!
Choose their size using the guide below, then pick the fabrics you love.
Made to order · Please allow approximately 2–3 weeks for sewing before dispatch. Shipping time is additional.

Working…
Design your own shorts
These shorts are cut from two pieces, one for each leg, with no outside seam. Use the same print all over, or mix and match with a different fabric on each leg, like a print on one side and a plain colour on the other.
Size
Tap either leg to choose its fabric. The waistband casing is folded from the same piece, so each half of the waistband matches its leg.
Disclaimer
The adjustable waist is not drawn here. The buttonhole elastic and internal buttons don't appear in this drawing or in the mockup — have a look at the product photos to see exactly how they look.
This drawing is an example only. It is here to help you picture your combination, not to show the finished pair exactly.
Colours shift from screen to screen with brightness, and no two devices show them the same way, so the fabric that arrives may not be an exact match for what you see here.
Prints are shown at their true size, but every pair is cut by hand from a continuous roll. Which part of a print lands on each panel — where a duck or a daisy happens to sit — will differ from this drawing and from every other pair. That is part of the charm of a handmade garment.
