Sewing Pattern Boardshorts by Jalie

Make classic boardshorts for men and boys with a comfortable tie waist and practical details designed for everyday wear and beach days. This sewing pattern is a great choice for sewists looking to create custom swimwear or casual warm-weather shorts with a clean, sporty look. The contrasting side panels add visual interest, while the velcro fly and pocket key sewn to the facing at the waist help keep the design functional and easy to wear.

Because this is a pattern, it pairs well with a variety of woven or swim-friendly fabrics depending on the look and performance you want. It is especially useful for sewing boardshorts that can move easily and hold up to active play, water, and summer adventures.
