The Breezy Shorts by Puff and Pencil are the ultimate combination of effortless comfort and laid-back style. With a relaxed, loose fit designed for everyday wear, these shorts are destined to become a staple in your handmade wardrobe.
They feature a comfortable elasticated waistband with adjustable drawstring ties, allowing you to customize the fit exactly to your liking. Best of all? They are incredibly functional, featuring two deep front pockets and two classic back pockets.
This versatile pattern includes two length options to suit your style:
-
The Long Version: Reaches the casual mid-thigh.
-
The Short Version: A cropped option that sits 11 cm (4 1/4") shorter than the original.
Skill Level: Confident Beginner.
The Essentials:
-
Main Fabric: Ideal for light to medium-weight woven fabrics. We highly recommend washed linen, cotton gauze, tencel twill, or crisp cotton poplin.
-
Pocket Lining Fabric: A small amount of lightweight fabric (like cotton lawn or voile) to keep the front pockets flat and bulk-free.
-
Elastic: 3.5 cm (1 1/2") wide elastic for the waistband.
-
Drawstring Ties: 1.7 - 2.1 meters (67" - 82 3/4") of cotton cord or matching fabric ties (exact length per size specified in the manual).
-
Thread: Matching sewing thread.
