This project is a revisit of out-of-print (OOP) Kwik Sew 3663 and the cargo pocket pattern piece from McCall's 6973. The front facing cargo pocket without the pocket flap was a big hit so this is the now go-to design for Men's pull-on pants around here. Sadly, Kwik Sew pattern company is no longer. They made trusted and well drafted patterns and are sorely missed. A back-up copy might be in order since this pattern has become a go-to in recent times.
The fabric is a cotton blend sweatshirt fleece. It was a somewhat recent purchase for a sweatshirt project but became gifted for this one instead. The fabric was pre-treated with a tumble in the washing and drying cycles before hitting the cutting table.
The casing hold a 1 1/4 inch elastic and there is a 1 1/2" topstitched hem.
