Cargo shorts with flap side pockets sewing pattern for women — Shorts 08MD

Shorts 08MD is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: cargo shorts with flap side pockets.
Mid-rise shorts with a fully elasticized waist, no visible drawstring, and two cargo pockets with flaps on each side of the thigh. The length sits above the knee, with a simple hem and the straight drape typical of a thick knit fabric.
They sew up well in a good-weight french terry or rustic cotton, which holds the volume of the cargo pockets without losing shape. Because of the large patch pockets, reinforce the topstitching on the flaps so they do not come open with use.
Recommended fabrics: Fleece-back (french terry), Rustic cotton and Cotton jersey.
