Boys Striped T-Shirt and Shorts Summer Set

This two-piece summer set brings together a relaxed striped t-shirt and a pair of pull-on shorts with an elastic waistband, making it an easy everyday outfit for boys. The sporty, uncomplicated shaping keeps both pieces comfortable to wear and straightforward to sew, and the two garments can be made as a matching set or combined separately with other items already in the wardrobe.

Soft cotton jersey or an interlock knit works well for the t-shirt, while the shorts can be sewn in a light French terry, jersey or a stable woven such as cotton poplin, depending on how structured a finish is wanted. The result suits warm days at the playground, holidays, sports clubs and summer camp, and the easy fit leaves plenty of room for running and climbing.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
