This is based on burdastyle’s Bella sewing pattern which is originally meant for pants. The only changes I made was to shorten the length and skipped the interfacing. I used black cotton twill for the shorts and selected black and white buttons to go with it. This black & white Bella is now my favorite pair of shorts:)
