Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids

February 20, 2025 Sabina Weigelt

Hello everyone,

It’s finally here – the Toni Trousers sewing pattern is now available for kids! With Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids in sizes 104–164, little ones can now enjoy comfortable, stylish trousers that fit perfectly and feel great all day long.

The inspiration for this pattern came directly from my everyday family life: My eldest daughter has always struggled with stiff denim and thick seams. So, I wanted to create trousers that offer exactly what she loves – a soft, comfortable feel, plenty of freedom to move, and a design that looks just as good as it feels. By choosing the perfect fabric and the right details, Toni Trousers Kids were born – a pair of trousers she truly loves to wear.

And the best part? My kids love that they now have their own Toni Trousers, just like me! The women’s version has been around for a while, and now we can match – each with our own unique take on the Toni Trousers. 💛

How special is it to sew a piece of clothing for your child – one they not only love wearing but also feel completely comfortable in, a piece that will accompany them through everyday adventures and bring them joy for a long time to come?

What makes the Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids pattern so special?

The Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids combine comfort, style, and versatility – with three different variations, so you can sew them just the way you like:

✨ The Marlene-style Toni Trousers – with a slightly flared leg for a playful, elegant look.
✨ The sporty Toni Trousers – tapered towards the ankle for a casual, relaxed, everyday style.
✨ The Toni Shorts version – airy and comfortable for warm days.

With pleats at the front, practical side pockets, and an elastic waistband at the back, these trousers fit beautifully while offering plenty of freedom to move – perfect for little explorers.

Depending on the fabric you choose, they can be worn all year round – light linen or muslin for summer, corduroy, wool, or even cozy sweat fabric for cooler days.

And the best part? With the Toni Trousers for women, you can create a beautiful mom-and-child matching look – each in their own style but with the same comfort factor!

Wonderful Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids have been created in the sample sewing and some children now have a new favourite pair of trousers. I'll show you some of them here. You can find more about sample sewing on my Instagram account @studio_gingercollage.

Sewing Inspiration & Fabric Recommendations for Your Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids

The Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids are incredibly versatile – the fabric you choose can make them perfect for different seasons and occasions. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

🌿 Light & breezy for spring and summer
Sew the shorts version or the full-length trousers in linen, muslin, or lightweight cotton – perfect for warm days. Soft neutrals, playful patterns, or delicate stripes work beautifully. Or go bold with vibrant summer colours!

🍂 Cozy & warm for autumn and winter
Corduroy or soft twill makes the Toni Trousers Kids the ideal companion for chilly days. Pair them with the Smile Sweater for the perfect winter outfit.

🎨 Make it unique!
Personalise your Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids with creative details:
✂️ Add contrast details – a colourful waistband or pocket lining for an extra pop.
🧵 Use decorative topstitching or embroidery to make them even more special.
✨ Add belt loops or a fabric tie for a more refined look.

No matter which version you choose – the Toni Trousers & Shorts Kids are sure to become a favourite piece your child will love to wear again and again.

Beautiful pleats

A special feature of the Toni trousers are the pleats with an extra twist. The outer pleat lies above the pocket opening.
