   I made a quick version of these with fabric left over from my Delta pants. I didn’t do the back pockets so I can’t comment on them, instead I made a version with a faux fly similar to the Deltas and an elastic waist. The fit is great, these are so comfortable to just throw on with a shirt or t-shirt. I will likely make a more classic version with all the details at some point as I really like the style and fit.

   Shorts turn out great, but there is something really wrong with the back welt pocket pattern pieces. From the matching tick marks the pocket bag should attach to the waistband, but no way to figure out how to get the welt to and the two pocket pieces and their tick marks to match up. And welt pocket online tutorial does work for this pattern. Needs to be corrected

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
