Suitable Fabrics:
This pattern is designed for light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as linen or cotton poplin. You can also use heavier-weight fabrics such as denim, canvas, or linen twill, but you should use a lightweight fabric for the pockets and watch the YouTube video about modifications if you do this. Knit fabrics can also work for this pattern, but it is recommended that you watch (https://youtu.be/pwesZz6X-pI?si=BK2Tl5ZLBWTo7ZqF) and adjust the pocket pattern piece to reduce bulk in the waistband.
