Kids Relaxed Tee and Pocket Shorts Set

The Kids Relaxed Tee and Pocket Shorts Set brings together two everyday basics in one pattern. The tee has an easy, relaxed fit that leaves room to move, while the shorts sit on a comfortable elastic waistband and include pockets for small treasures. Drafted as a unisex design, it suits any child who prefers simple, practical clothes that are quick to pull on in the morning.

Cotton is the natural choice here: a soft cotton jersey or interlock for the tee, and a light woven cotton such as poplin, chambray or a fine twill for the shorts. The set works through warm weather for playgrounds, holidays and nursery days, and the tee can be layered under a jumper once the temperature drops. Making several in different colours turns the pattern into a small coordinated wardrobe.

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.
