The ebook includes the pattern shorts PANTAI for kids by Nähfrosch, detailed sewing instructions with many photos, different versions, as well as practical tips for sewing.

Surfer-style shorts or stylish casual-chic bermuda pants, this pattern can do both. PANTAI shorts are comfortable slip-on pants with pockets that can be sewn to create a casual or chic style. Made from light woven fabrics or robust trouser fabrics, PANTAI becomes a versatile garment for all occasions. Whether it's a formal occasion, a walk on the beach or just a normal day, you can do nothing wrong with the PANTAI shorts.

Fake (buttoned-)fly and useful pockets at the front, flap pockets on the back or sides are thrilling details. The pattern includes two lengths, one is below the knee and one about mid-thigh. The waistband can be adjusted with an elastic to the appropriate width, so comfy and easy!

Imagine a beach, cool surfer dudes waxing their boards, the sun shining. Inspired by this image, the shorts received their name. PANTAI is Indonesian and translates into "coast" or "beach".

Sewing level

The pattern PANTAI with its many details is not per se a project for beginners. However, it can be sewn in a very basic version, without fake fly and pockets, so that even beginners are able to sew very decent pants. After that, add the details one by one. The instructions take you by the hand to do so.

Fabric recommendations

Woven fabrics are excellent for PANTAI. Especially linen, cotton poplin and other light trouser fabrics are recommended. The shorts can also be a little more robust. For this you can use light denim / denim or thin corduroy or even upcycle old adult jeans. But you also get nice summer pants from less stretchy summer sweat fabric.

Fabric consumption

For the shorts version with knee-length made entirely from a single fabric, you will need (based on 150 cm fabric width plus seam allowances and buffers):

Shorts with knee-length, sizes 92 - 104: 80 cm fabric Shorts with knee-length, sizes 110 - 128: 90 cm fabric Shorts with knee-length, sizes 134 - 164: 100 cm fabric

Additional material

The waistband of the PANTAI shorts is made from the pants' fabric, with the elastic inside. You can attach eyelets (reinforce the fabric beforehand) and attach a cord (as decoration).

If you want to use cuff fabric, you need to measure the length of the waistband and multiply by 0.8 as a waistband made of cuff fabric must be shorter and sewn while being stretched.

In addition to the fabric you will need elastic (preferably 3-4 cm wide).
