width 134, length 140
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
If not, why?

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
If not, why?
Overall, yes. The zipper fly had picture instructions in this issue.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like how they turned out. I think the fly facings were a little too short, so you need to lengthen them a bit. It was also too wide for him at the waist, and I measured him. I was able to adjust the pockets a bit to get the right width so they would fit him.
Fabric used
stretch twill, woven for pocket linings and belt loops
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Added embroidery to the pockets
Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes
Any additional comments
I would only make this with a stretch twill or denim. It is slim cut, but they need to be able to jump around and move, even for skinny kids like mine. I tried making it again with a wool, but it was too slim for a non-stretch fabric and it was a wadder.
