Note: A simplified version is available as "Boxer Pajama Shorts" for free in Size Small; this pattern entry is related to that.  Additional sizes are available via the "Barton Shorts" pattern, which is linked from the free project page.

The easy-sew, easy-fit, easy-wear Barton Shorts are summer's best friend! A drawer full of these wouldn't be too many. Beat the heat - throw them on over a swimsuit at the beach, or to go for a jog, or for playing with kids in the backyard. You can even make some as the perfect sleep shorts.

Barton has a straight hemmed view and a curved hem version for lace trim or bias tape finishing. Both styles have separate pattern pieces for 3" and 5" finished inseams.

And pockets. Because of course pockets!

Barton features: 

Wide elastic waistband sits between navel and waistband

Side seam pockets

Two inseam lengths

Two styles - hemmed or trimmed!

For light- to medium-weight woven fabrics
