Buy the Keira Shorts sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Practical and stylish, the Keira Shorts will be your go-to for summer. They feature a zip fly, pleats at the front and darts at the back, roomy slanted pockets, shaped belt loops finished with a button detail, and turn-ups at the hem. The waistband closes with a hook and eye and is partially elasticated to make the shorts more comfortable and easier to fit.

Depending on what you pair them with, these shorts can look super contemporary or slightly vintage. Wear them with a cami or tee for a great everyday summer outfit, or tuck in a button-front shirt or blouse for that Land Girl look!
