Changes:
- Added detail to step 4
'If you are sewing the side slit feature, set your stitch length to the longest possible when you are 6cm from the hem.
Once the elongated stitches have been sewn, snip into the seam allowance where your stitch length changed (all the way to the seam) and press the seam towards the front above and open below.'
- Additional notches added 6cm up from shorts hem line at outer leg side seam to indicate change in stitches for slit feature
- Additional markings added to pattern pieces for pocket placement clarity
