Bobby – Knee-Length Baby Shorts

Looking for a comfy pair of shorts that’s also super cute for your baby? Then the “Bobby” sewing pattern is just what you need!

“Bobby” is a pair of knee-length baby shorts designed for jersey or light sweat fabrics – soft, breathable, and perfect for little ones. At the waist, you can choose between an elastic waistband or a jersey or rib knit waistband. For extra comfort and longevity, a grow-with-me waistband option is also included.

Want to make it special? Add a side stripe – great for using up fabric scraps! If you’ve already sewn the “Fin” or “Lia” shirt, the stripe can be made from leftover fabric to create a lovely two-piece outfit.

In a hurry? You can also sew the shorts without side seams – a quick & beginner-friendly option!
