Skill Level: 3, Medium difficulty
Perfect for outdoor activities, these shorts or zip-leg pants are versatile and practical. With this sewing pattern you can either -- both of which have an inner leg gusset for a comfortable fit, two roomy cargo pockets in front, and two back pockets with flaps and hidden zipper. A lanyard with a key hook inside one of the front pockets makes these extra useful. The Zip-leg pants have the lower leg zip on and off for comfort and convenience. A back zipper in the leg makes it easy to pull the leg off or on over boots or shoes. A velcro tab tightens the bottom cuff when needed. It is easy to remove the bottom leg or add it back when needed for weather or practicality.
