Description
Description
Bilbao is a wonderfully versatile pattern for making bloomers and shorts for little ones, with plenty of options to mix and match. Choose a simple elasticated style or add playful details such as a paperbag waistband, removable shoulder straps, a little skirt or ruffle at the waist.
Both the bloomers and shorts have an elasticated waist and thighs for a comfortable fit. Depending on the version, you can also add decorative button plackets, while the shorts can be finished with pretty frilled elasticated thighs. With so many combinations to choose from, it’s a lovely pattern to come back to as they grow.
