Children's Relaxed Fit Top and Shorts

This children's sewing pattern brings together a relaxed-fit top with flared sleeves and a pair of matching shorts, creating an easy two-piece set for everyday wear. The loose silhouette gives young wearers room to move, while the gently flared sleeves add a soft, playful detail to an otherwise simple shape. Step-by-step instructions guide the sewing process, so the set suits newcomers as well as more experienced sewers.

Lightweight fabrics work best here: cotton lawn, double gauze, viscose or a light linen all keep the set breathable and comfortable. Sew it for warm days at nursery or school, weekend outings, holidays and general playtime, and repeat it in different prints for a small handmade wardrobe.

Sizes run from 2Y to 16Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y, 14Y, 16Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 and 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.
