Who Wears Short Shorts?

Well I just bought a cute pair of shorts this past weekend and decided to try and recreate them. It'll give me something productive to do and I can practice my pattern drafting skills.

These shorts are made from linen/cotton striped fabric. They have four pockets, cuff hem, five belt loops, and came with a thin black braided belt (not pictured).


Front


Back

So far I've measured everything and drafted the front pattern including the front pocket facing. Next will be drafting the back pattern, zipper placket, waist band (3 pieces), belt loops (5 pieces), cuff, and welt pockets for the back.

It's definitely been a while since I've used a spec sheet, but I'm looking forward to building my skills and creating a cute new pair of shorts!
