View A is a Pants view and features a small paperbag ruffle waistband, drawstrings that tie at the waist, inseam pockets, a faux fly and an extra deep 6” (15.3 cm) hem. View B is the second pants view and features a drawstring that ties in the front, a 1” (2.5 cm) waistband, slash pockets, and a regular 2” (5 cm) hem. View C is the shorts version of View A and has the same waistband, faux fly, pockets and drawstrings, but has a 3” (7.5 cm) inseam, and optional slit at the hem. View D is the shorts version of View B and has the same waistband, drawstring, and slash pockets but has a 3” (7.5 cm) inseam.

***You can mix and match different elements between views if you wish and feel confident enough! The drafting is the same for all views, so you can swap waistbands, hem lengths, drawstring styles and the faux fly!

Recommended Fabrics:

This pattern would sew up well in light to medium weight woven fabrics such as linen, linen blends, twill, lightweight canvas or denim, cotton, or cotton blends.

I suggest fabrics that are between 6-7 oz (200-230 gsm).You can also use a low stretch knit such as sweatshirt fabric with 20-30% stretch. Blends with rayon and viscose work well too, but beware that they tend to grow when sewing with them!
