Backyard sprints and garden swings indulge their playful spirits year-round. Like the leaves on the trees they climb, this vintage-style pattern adapts with the seasons—make it with linen for summer strolls or with wintery wool paired with tights or knee high socks.

Choose from shorts or pantaloon-length pants or culottes that come just below the knee. Pixie Pants feature a flat front with elastic back for easy dressing and optional inseam pockets.

Skill Level: Adventurous beginner

Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to gently used corduroy or light weight wool garments and pretty printed cotton dresses or shirts for inspiration.

Love it!

I made the shorts to go with the petal dress I made and they look fantastic! The petal dress and pixie shorts were the first things I’ve ever sewn (past easy square things), and I found the pattern easy to follow and logical.

Beautiful pattern

This is so beautiful, easy to follow instructions, fab range of sizes and gender neutral. I made 2 within a week. Only wish I could get an adult version

Inspirational

After spotting a gorgeous make on the T&T Facebook page, petal dress with sweet shorts to match, I was inspired. I made the petal dress and added these shorts with a matching cuff. Very easy to follow instructions, easy to make and I will be very proud to gift to my granddaughter very soon.

Just delightful

I definitely giggled with excitement when I finished my first pair of pixie shorts. I couldn't believe how cute they were and I couldn't wait to gift them. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long and the 3T fit my 2 year old godson perfectly! His parents loved them and I regularly see him wearing them in photos. (Three more cut and ready to sew!)

A great pattern

Very much a beginner and I managed this. Lovely pattern. Between the pattern and the video even someone who can’t read patterns can do this easily. And the finished product is great. My kid loves them, I love them (look cute and give my kid complete freedom of movement to do whatever she wants) and I got lovely compliments from other mum’s (fabric corduroy)

so cute

very well written instructions combined with videos. I took my time to follow the instructions for the the first pair of shorts, and once I knew the pattern, more were quick to make. My niece looked really cute in the yellow gingham and the blue linen ones I made. I know I will use this pattern for winter and summer as she grows.

Cute Shorts

Had a lot of fun making these shorts with my sister giving the instructions. I am now confident to make more on my own.

Perfection

Like all Twig & Tale patterns, these are an absolute joy to follow and make. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, resulting in some beautiful, well made, classic shorts for your little ones!

I had fun making this!

This looks more complicated than it actually was to make. It was simple and straightforward, with excellent instructions and videos along the way. I used fabric from a failed pair of pants I tried to make for myself years ago and it turned out wonderful! I can’t wait to make these again!
