Maker Monday: Shorts

I've made the shorts toile and i can now change the fit and detail positions. 

As this pattern was taken from an existing garment i've made some small changes to make them more functional; changes to pocket positioning, different stylelines and the addition of pocket flaps. 

Time to alter the patterns before making in final fabric.
