Here are 10 free shorts patterns for women to expand your summer wardrobe!
Shorts season is here, and I always get excited to pull out my warm weather wardrobe and start updating it for the new season. It seems that every year, I find pieces in there that either don't fit or are no longer my favorite, so that means going out and adding to my collection. Despite the fact that they require far less material than slacks or jeans, shorts sure aren't any lower in cost! I also find that it is often hard to find a good pair of shorts that fit just the way you want them to. If you have any skills on a sewing machine at all, you might enjoy making your own! Here are 10 free shorts patterns for women.
