Looking to personalize your Sunny Day Shorts? Adding pockets is a simple yet effective way to customize them. If you're unfamiliar with how to add pockets, the beach bum shorts tutorial offers a step-by-step guide to help you create your own front pockets. Don't overlook the hexagon-shaped pocket tutorial either—it's another great option.
Now, if you’re searching for even more ideas and already own a few Oliver + S sewing patterns, chances are you’ve got some pocket templates right at your fingertips. I’ve compiled a list of patterns featuring pockets that I believe could work well. Keep in mind, though, that minor adjustments may be needed depending on the design—such as reducing the size of the pockets if they seem too large. Oh, and fair warning: this list is quite extensive!

Let’s dive into some examples:
1) The Sandbox Pants come with front patch pockets and button-through back patch pockets. For inspiration, Deb added the Sandbox Pants' front patch pockets to her Sunny Day Shorts, creating an awesome pirate-themed outfit that included a School Bus T-Shirt.

2) The Art Museum Trousers showcase front pockets and back welt pockets. To ease any concerns, I’ve included a step-by-step photo tutorial for welt pockets—you’ll see it’s much simpler than it looks.
3) The Field Trip Cargo Pants are packed with features: front pockets, back patch pockets, and large cargo pockets along the side seams. I’d recommend adding length to the shorts for those side cargo pockets to fit properly. It’s impressive how one pattern can offer such variety!

4) The Lullaby Layette includes cute little back patch pockets on its elasticized pull-on pants, designed for sizes up to 24 months. Patricia cleverly transferred these pockets onto a pair of 2T shorts—adorable, right?
