Oscar has been Marina’s best‑selling boys shorts sewing pattern for years — and it’s easy to see why. One customer said it best: “They don’t fit like pyjamas!”
He slips on easily with his comfy elastic waist, features an adjustable waistband with eyelets and a pull cord, and keeps treasures safe with deep side pockets and sturdy back patch pockets.
These Bermuda‑length shorts aren’t a quick sew — there are lots of lovely details — but they’re absolutely worth the effort. Oscar also comes with free video tutorials right on this page, including one showing how to lengthen shorts… so pyjama bottoms might just become your next favourite project.

STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO TUTORIALS
I haven’t made them yet, but watched the video, so should be no problem to put them together
Love these shorts so much. I make lots of kids clothing and this pattern is one of my favorites. So hlad I discovered frocks and frolics.
Loved the pattern. It was easy to put together, and the shorts turned out beautifully. I adjusted the length to make trousers and it workedreally well!
Super Anleitung schönes Muster ich habe gleich zwei gemacht
A little over halfway through sewing the shorts. Love that there is a sewing video for these. Thanks so much for that as it makes it much easier to learn. So far, the shorts look great!
