Cargo Shorts sewing pattern

Size is too big, not corresponding to the chart. Overall nice model

I love this pattern.
I made these up in medium weight linen for the summer.
I omitted the cargo and rear welt pockets.
The size from the pattern fitted me just fine.
I thoroughly recommend this pattern....!

I made two pairs of these, one for my partner (size 36) and one for my 12yo son (size 29). I omitted the seat reinforcement and the cargo pockets as neither of them wanted those features.

I french seamed the pocket linings, and will make the front pockets a little deeper for next time by request. The cut-on waistband is beautifully drafted and shaped. I found that the zip length for the size 36 was too short - it needs a 6 inch zip I think.

I'm going to look at doing a pleat front for my partner next time as the pockets are pulling forward, and he generally purchases pleat fronts for himself. I'd also like to try out a variation with a nice inset coin pocket.

These cargo shorts are great!!
loving the unusual folds for the side pockets, and they fit perfectly (followed the chart in the doc)

However, I've spotted 2 errors in the pdf instructions whilst making my first pair :
step 11 : the lining and facing should be sewn both facing up (currently says to saw them both wrong side facing but lining will end being inside out if using a patterned fabric - simply flip the lining facing up so the facing sits with wrong side on it)
step 30 : it's a copy paste from step 28, where it should be instruction on how to sew button and buttonhole.

Hope this helps!

Great patter with perfect fit. No alterations needed. The cut-on-waist is perfect while cycling. Well written instructions accomplished by good illustrations.
