Buy the Chi-Town Chinos sewing pattern from Alina Sewing and Design Co. This shorts and skirt pattern is inspired by the classic relaxed pant silhouette commonly referred to today as chinos. The Chi-Town Chinos pattern is mid-rise, easy-fitting and straight through the hip and leg. The waistband is faced, maintaining a clean finish.
