Excellent Pattern!
This was my first Pollywoggles and I am very impressed. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. I made shorts from a linen and am very pleased with the results, I love all the details.

Beautifully drafted
Made these for my grandson who loved them. They come together so nicely and the projector file is fabulous. If you could just extend the sizing, he would be in heaven.

The only pants/short pattern you need
Super simple, great fit, and those pockets are nice and deep for all the treasures.

Easy to sew
Definitely going to become a staple basic shorts/pants in my son's wardrobe. Easy to sew, managed a size 4 length shorts out of 2 fat quarters as well so a great scrap friendly pattern.

Love these patterns!
Love these patterns! They go together quickly and easily and are incredibly easy to understand. These shorts are so cute that I’m making three pairs. I wish Pollywoggle had more patterns than they do because I’d buy them all.

I made these
I made these yesterday for my grandson, and I love how well they went together. I made the trouser option and added the extra stitching to divide the pockets and not make them so long - GENIUS! The pattern went together like a dream and plan to make many more. Love your patterns - BRING OUT MORE BOY'S ONES because they're PREFECT - stylish yet o so practical
