Thanks for your review. I have this pattern in my stash so your WIP review has already been very helpful.

Excellent, informative review. I'd love to see a picture of the shorts when you're done.

Great review! Thanks for all the details on what works, what is missing in instructions, and what is current fashion. Nice pair of shorts...my Columbia shorts are coming close to their end and I've been looking at cargo shorts for both myself and my husband. Thanks again for all the info.

What a great review. I've considered sewing these shorts for our son and now I know what to expect.

Great review. I have this pattern and some twill but will rethink (when/if) I finally get around to making them.

I love the detailed photos on your blog. What took you more time - making the shorts or writing up this review and getting the pics up?

Hmm...what took more time? I'd say writing the review. I had my laptop with me as I worked so I just dumped my stream of consciousness ramblings into a file as I went. But I had so many sewing interruptions that I felt like I needed to go back and edit to avoid repeating myself. Re: uploading the pix, I do website design for a living, so getting the visuals etc together was the easy part :)

Glad I read this before I made the pattern!

I have a question... how do I go about making the shorts without the zippers and with a lining? I am using Supplex, BTW.
