Sand N Surf Swim Shorts – free pattern for kids

Emily’s sharing some swim inspiration as the weather starts to turn. The Sand N Surf swim shorts are perfect for boys and girls and great for active water play. The pattern pairs cleanly with a coordinating swim top for an adorable set — combine her two swim patterns and you have everything for a full coordinated swim look using just stretch swim knit and some board-short-weight fabric.

Swim fabric goes on sale this month for a reason — pick up a couple of yards now, sew this in an afternoon, and the kids are sorted for the summer.
