Well, I found out interesting things about this practice pair of 'chino style' shorts.

1st: This fabric is a nightmare to work with, its like... soft boxer-shorts style brushed cotton, thin and floppy and moves SO MUCH that pattern matching would be impossible for anyone, and not just me who can't do it.

2nd: I cut this pattern out on a UK 18 which should be a LITTLE loose on me, as I've been making bottoms out of a 16 for a could months. But as the pattern is a 'missus' style I think they are tight on sizing and the crotch is WAY up in there.

3rd: Big 3 are allergic to decent fly instructions. Like, its the HARDEST part of the pattern, but you put all the instructions into one TINY little box and three or four lines. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

HOWEVER, I still am pleased with them! As test pair out of spare fabric I have too much of, they are cute and will do for bumming around the house in the hottest of summer days. I learned how to do a welted pocked, I enjoyed the process and by taking my time and slowly working on a little every day I didn't burn myself out on the hard parts, or give up half way in, which was tempting with this fabric.

I will be making pj bottoms out of this, and boxers and any easy elasticated waist things that I can, because I got like 5 or 6 meters of this left.

The pattern was: Simplicity S9709

I would rec it, but def MEASURE yourself and don't just go off what you've been cutting with other patterns.
