    Does anyone know of a skirt pattern with shorts attached, not just the shorts with skirt front?

      Children's corner's "Saras Skort" looks to be a regular skirt with shorts attached.  When I looked it up on the Children's Corner website the description was wrong (it was for a completely different pattern) but I *just* looked at this pattern a few days ago in a shop.  I think it comes in sizes 3-8.

        You could probably adapt most skirt patterns.  I think the key is to use a fuller skirt so you don't see any bulk underneath and also to make the short portion out of a stretchy thin fabric.  Then it should just be a matter of stitching the shorts into the waistband as you would a liner.

          I have done this. I just used cotton for both parts - the shorts and the skirt - and attached them to a waistband. The skirt has to be flared sufficiently right from the waist, so you don't have bulkiness there. You can also attach both parts to a yoke, which is very popular right now.
