Cargo shorts with a flapped side pocket sewing pattern for women — Shorts 41

Shorts 41 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: cargo shorts with a flapped side pocket.
These have patch back pockets, a cargo-style side pocket with a flap and button, and belt loops at the waist. The hem is left unhemmed and frayed, and the fabric is medium weight with a pronounced twill texture.
A sturdy cotton gabardine or twill works best so the cargo pocket keeps its shape; a lightweight denim also works for stiffer versions. Reinforce the stitching of the side pocket because of constant use.
Recommended fabrics: Gabardine, Twill and Denim.
