Kids Boxer Shorts Sewing Pattern PDF – Sensory Friendly & Versatile

This kids boxer shorts sewing pattern is a PDF digital download, not a finished garment. It is designed to help you create comfortable, flexible boxer shorts for children, suitable for both boys and girls. With multiple construction options, these boxers can also be worn as gym shorts or lounge wear, making them a practical and adaptable addition to any handmade wardrobe.

Designed with comfort and sensitivity in mind, this pattern is ideal for children who prefer soft clothing with minimal irritation. The pattern includes thoughtful construction details that reduce discomfort and allow freedom of movement throughout the day.

Pattern Options & Design Features

This kids boxer shorts sewing pattern PDF includes four adaptable options, allowing you to customise each pair to suit your child’s needs and preferences.

• Optional centre panel or no centre panel

• With or without comfort shaping

• Fly or no fly option

• Suitable for girls and boys

• Can be worn as underwear or gym shorts

The seams are worked on the outside, meaning the inside of the garment remains smooth and free from scratchy seam allowances or irritating labels. This makes the pattern especially suitable as a sensory friendly kids underwear pattern.

Fabric & Sustainability

This pattern is designed for 4-way stretch single jersey fabric. You can use:

• Approximately ¼ metre / yard of jersey fabric

• Recycled fabric from old T-shirts

• Pre-owned or thrifted fabric

Using recycled fabric not only saves money but also helps reduce waste and avoids the stiffness sometimes found in brand-new textiles. This makes the boxer shorts softer, more familiar, and more comfortable for sensitive skin.

Sizes Included

The pattern includes sizes to fit children aged 3–10 years.

Waist measurements (cm):
53.5 (54.5, 55.5, 56.5, 57.5, 58.5, 59.5, 60.5)
