Suggested fabric
Soft linen · Rayon/viscose challis · Cotton lawn · Lightweight cotton twill
120–220 gsm (3.5–6.5 oz/yd²)
soft, drapey to lightly crisp woven
Paco is an elastic-waist pull-on woven short, so pick a soft, fluid bottomweight like linen or challis that gathers nicely at the waist without bulk; needs drape for the relaxed leg.
Avoid: Stiff canvas, Heavy denim, Non-stretch fabrics that won't gather softly
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
