Can use woven accents!

My kiddos all needed summer shorts and Be Active git the bill! Bonus: This is a great pattern for scrapbusting with the triangle accents on the legs. A tester mentioned they used woven fabric there, and I had to try out. Forest pattern in my picture is cotton woven!

The only shorts you need

My kids loved them, especially when I added pockets. Great for matching/not matching by just changing the accent colors. Also great for my skinny autistic kid who can't manage ties or buttons.

Does the Be Active shorts have a pocket option?

Ellie and Mac

Hi there!! How did I not add pockets to this pattern!? You can add pockets using one of our other side seam pocket and sew it just 1/2" down from the top of the shorts waist at the sides.
