I absolutely love this pattern. I’ve made three pairs of shorts already and will try the pants soon. Great instructions, These will definitely be a wardrobe staple for me.
I'm a fairly new sewist and have now made 2 pairs of Flint shorts in practise for my first real pair of pants! My waist (14) and hip (12) measurements put me into 2 different sizes, so I attempted the grade the first pair...they actually fit like a glove, although, I felt I wanted to have more ease (camouflage!) around my belly, so made the second in the larger size with no adjustments. Also a great fit with the extra ease. Long story short, I now know what to do with the pants, and have 2 great pairs of shorts that I can actually wear in public! This pattern comes together like a dream...very easy to follow instructions, and the pattern pieces fit together perfectly! In both cases, I used cotton fabric leftover from other projects, so, this is an easy scrap buster also. Used denim for the pockets on one pair which added a pretty cool design element to this already cool design!
I have several patterns yet, each of them worth buying! So easy to make and fits perfectly according to size chart...
Made my first pair which were a bit small-thankfully had more of the fabric and made another which fit fantastic! So continued on to make another pair in a madras plaid. Will be making a denim pair and a black pair next. I made them with the tie closure.
Great pattern, easy to use and look very smart when made.
