Barton Shorts

Size Guide

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 waist
  • Side seam pockets
  • Two inseam lengths
  • Two styles - hemmed or trimmed!
  • For light- to medium-weight woven fabrics 

Sizes:

Women's XXS-3X (hips 33-55")

The Barton Shorts pattern file includes:

  • 12 pages of illustrated instructions, including extensive directions for personalizing fit
  • 42 pages of printable pattern pieces, with a print list so you print only what you need for your desired length, style, and size and a copy shop file with pages formatted for 36" wide or A0 size
  • Layered pattern files so you can print only the sizes you want or use with a projector

This is a PDF Sewing pattern - you will only receive links to download the pattern to print at home. Nothing will be mailed to you unless you choose to add a large format print, in which case a 36 inch wide sheet with the pattern pieces printed on it will be shipped to you; you will still need to refer to the PDF for the instructions. 

All Blank Slate Patterns print on both US and A4 paper and include standard and metric measurements.
