How to take measurements

Taking measurements is a fairly easy process. Which does not require special skills and abilities and does not take much time.

Note! When taking measurements, the person for whom the shorts are sewn must stand straight, without straining, and also maintain good posture.

Also, the person being measured should not be wearing any bulky clothing that would allow the measurements to be taken incorrectly. It is better if he is as naked as possible or in thin, tight clothes.

Taking measurements

When taking measurements, you do not need to pull the tape too much. The waist is measured by placing a measuring tape horizontally on the floor, strictly at the waist. Hip circumference is also required. This is the widest part that covers the buttocks. Also shoot horizontally on the floor. Now you need to measure the circumference of one hip. To do this, it is worth grasping the thigh in its very upper part, also horizontally to the floor. The knee should be measured in a bent position at the level of the knee point. The angle should be 90 degrees. More seat height will be required. It is necessary to sit the person down and measure the height from the waist to the place where he sits.

You also need the length of the product. It is measured from the waist to the length you need: above the knee, knee-length, below the knee.

How to cut shorts for a man wearing size 66

Often, men who wear size 66 trousers and shorts have a non-standard figure. When taking measurements, it turns out that the waist circumference is several centimeters greater than the hip circumference. This feature of the body must be taken into account when creating a pattern.

The basic basis of the front and back halves of the shorts/trousers is drawn out in the same way as in other cases. And only after building the base do they begin to model the pattern for size 66 shorts with a protruding belly.

Combine the back and front halves of the pattern along the side line and trace them along the contour.
Draw lines for the waist, hips, and steps.
On the front half, they retreat 5 cm to the right, from the received mark they rise up 3 cm and place a t. O.
Connect the point O to the hip line.
Connect the point O to the waist line.
On the back half, 3 cm is removed from the waist.

Due to this adjustment of the basic base, it is possible to simulate an additional allowance for the belly and not disturb the lines of the bow and step, which are built from the calculation of the OB.

To prevent sewn shorts from gathering in folds in the form of a “bubble” in the groin area, the step lines are adjusted.
On the front half, step back along the step line to the left 1.5 cm and down 1.5 cm and place t. A.
Connect point A to the hip line.
Connect point A to the bottom line.
On the back half, add 1.5 cm along the step line, lower it 1.5 cm down. A new line is being drawn.
Depending on the desired model, a new waist line is drawn, lowering it by the desired amount. Cut out a belt or facing and pockets.

How to make a pattern for men's shorts with elastic

Light summer shorts with elastic are most often sewn according to the pattern of men's “family” briefs. This model is perfect for sports and beach holidays. The appearance of the finished product depends on the quality of the fabric and color scheme. By combining pieces of fabric of different textures and colors, it is possible to create very non-trivial shorts.

Constructing a pattern for the front half

Construct a right angle with a vertex at T.

Place a measure equal to DI down vertically, put t.H and draw a horizontal bottom line through it

To the right, along the bottom and waist lines, set aside the distance POB/2 + 4, place t. H1 and t. T1, respectively

From t T down, lay down POB/2 + 4, put t. W and draw a horizontal step line. At the intersection of t Ш1.

From point Ш1 to the right they put aside POB/10, point Ш2.

From point Ш1 upwards they lay down POB/10, point Ш3

A bisector 2.5 cm long is drawn from the corner.

Connect Ш3 and Ш4 with a concave line.

From T1 down 1.5 cm we get T2.

From t. H upward 2 cm, t. H2 is obtained.

Connect all the dots.

From point Ш1 they lay down POB/5 + 2 cm and down 4 cm it turns out to be point Ш2.

From point Sh1 they put POB/10 up and get point SH3.

A bisector 3.5 cm long is drawn from the corner.

Connect points Ш3 and points Ш4 with a concave line.

From t. H1 to the right POB/10 + 2 cm and down 4 cm get H2

From t. H up 2 cm we get t. H3

From t. L1 to the left 3 cm, get t. L2 and connect it with a straight line to t. Ш4.

Men's Bermuda shorts: pattern

These shorts have their own characteristics. For example, their waist is lower, so you should lower 40 millimeters down from the waist line and draw a new line, which will be the waist. Cut off the rest. Now you need to add 30 millimeters to insert a zipper in the center of the trousers.

Next, draw pockets on the front half.

What do Bermudas look like?

Now, from the main material, you need to cut out the front halves of Bermuda shorts with a valance - two pieces. No barrel needed. Next, the front side with pocket burlap is also two pieces. Two back halves. Two parts of the back half belt.

From the lining, make two burlap pockets of Bermuda shorts.

Important! All elements of the belt should be reinforced with adhesive material.

Now sew by analogy. Make a pocket at the front with a trimmed side. Baste and sew darts at the back. Next, you need to iron everything to the middle seam at the back. Now baste and stitch the middle seam to the bermuda valance. Now it's time to deal with the lightning. Sew it in with a valance.

Bermuda shorts pattern

External parts should be reinforced with thermal fabric on the belt. Sew on a belt for Bermuda shorts.

Now tuck and baste the bottom. To do this, you should use a hidden seam. It has to be done manually.

It remains to baste the belt loops according to the markings made earlier.

That's basically it. It's ready. It's not quite as easy as sewing regular shorts. But everything is also in your hands. Such a beautiful piece of wardrobe will delight any man. And the fact that it was made by the hands of a beloved woman gives it special value.

How to sew jersey shorts with side pockets

The entrances to the pockets need to be duplicated with a strip of adhesive fabric (non-woven fabric) from the wrong side.

We connect the burlap pockets and the front halves of the trousers with the right sides inward, machine stitch along the markings, cut off the corners, leaving 1 cm for an allowance.

We make notches along the bottom of the pocket (you don’t have to make them, but it’s more convenient for me).

We bend the burlap on the wrong side, lay a finishing stitch along the entrance to the pocket 0.5 cm from the fold.

We combine the barrels with the halves of the shorts, align the lining of the pockets, connect it along the contours of the parts, the seam allowance is 1 cm, overlock the edges using an overlocker or a zigzag stitch.

We make bartacks (regular machine stitches) along the top and sides of the pockets to attach the burlap.

We sew the side and step sections, overcast, and iron the seams.

We turn one pant leg inside out, insert the other half of the shorts into it, align the seams, pin them together, machine stitch along the middle seam, thoroughly stretching the fabric along the elephant. If this is not done, the stitching may break while wearing shorts. To strengthen the middle seam, we sew a second line. We overcast and iron the allowances.

Measure the length of the belt along the waistline of the shorts, cut off the excess, leaving seam allowances.

We sew the belt into a ring, leaving a 2 cm section unstitched as in the photo.

We iron the seam and place lines along the allowances so that when the elastic is threaded, the allowances do not bend.

Place the waistband right side together with the shorts, pin or baste. Sew on a sewing machine. Overcast the edge of the waistband.

Then fold the waistband in half lengthwise, baste and sew a stitch into the split seam for attaching the waistband to the shorts.

Insert the elastic into the waistband and sew the ends together with a patch stitch.

Overcast the bottom of the shorts and hem them with an open hem seam. Men's knit shorts are ready.

They turned out to be very comfortable and practical. And one more thing – I really liked sewing knitwear. To such an extent that I decided to buy a Janome Juneau 513 sewing machine.

It's hard to imagine a modern man's wardrobe without at least one pair of shorts. Of course, you can buy the model you like in a store, but it’s much more interesting to sew them yourself. In addition, shorts cut by yourself fit much better, because during the construction of the pattern all the features of the figure are taken into account

Nuances and features

There are several options for creating a pattern with your own hands. One of the simplest is to rip open some old and unnecessary, but well-fitting pants or shorts, iron them and draw them on paper. Such details can serve as patterns. Another option is to download your favorite base from the Internet. And modify it accordingly, according to the features of your structure. Now there are a huge number of sites that can help you with this. Well, what is described above, take measurements yourself.

Large sizes have their own subtleties. After all, the structure of the figure is distinguished by the presence of a belly or voluminous buttocks. This should be taken into account when modeling. Before making a pattern, you should ask how a man prefers to wear shorts, because they often drop the waistband below the stomach. It happens that men like to pull their shorts higher. Here, too, adjustments need to be made.

To create a loose-fitting pattern, take a maximum of 50-60 millimeters. If there is a belly, appropriate changes are made. This helps not to restrict movement when walking.

Sports shorts with an elastic band are perfect for practicing skills for a novice seamstress.

Athletic shorts

Decating is also an important part and is of great importance. Unfortunately, many materials shrink significantly after the first wash. For example, shorts can shrink by 7 centimeters. And it turns out that all the work done was in vain. To avoid this, decatification was invented. Experienced craftswomen do this before sewing. One of the easiest ways: soak the material in hot water. There is no need to add any products, then dry, smooth and start cutting.

Don't forget about seam allowances. This is an important point that can affect the result. Before sewing on a sewing machine, do not be lazy to sweep everything by hand. This may not seem necessary, but it plays an important role in the final result.

Good afternoon I printed size 54 with 2 stitches. The sizes are the same, but I don’t understand how to connect the front and back on the pattern? On what line? At least bent? Aphids straight with an arrow? Or how to connect them together?

A straight line with an arrow is a mark that indicates the direction of the lobe.

Downloaded 56 one-seam. The pattern is great. I glued it together and everything matched exactly to the measurements. Thank you very much for your work. And please share - thank you!! I sewed it. This fits great. I wish you success )))

To get an insert like this at the bottom, instead of a simple crotch seam

I agree with Marina’s request about the gusset. Please tell me. I wanted to retake it from the old ones, ripped it apart, ironed it, but the fabric was very deformed, everything turned out clumsily...

Marina, good afternoon! Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to explain, and there is no ready-made pattern with a gusset yet.

For cotton type calico, the option of single-seam panties is suitable, because... they are quite free. It is better to sew two-seam ones from cooler knitwear.

Men's shorts: pattern

Let's look at sewing and patterning knitted shorts with elastic. You won't believe it, but it's very simple. Even a beginner will be able to cope with the task. These shorts, which have side pockets, are very comfortable to wear. First you need to build a pattern on paper and then cut it out. Some can do it directly on fabric so as not to waste their time.

Pattern 1

This pattern is suitable not only for men's shorts, but also for shorts for teenagers, as well as for sewing family pants.

How to take measurements is already known. Therefore, they already exist: the length of future shorts, seat height, waist and hips.

Now you should prepare everything you need: fabric, paper, pencil, elastic band, scissors, sewing machine with sewing accessories, elastic band 250 millimeters wide, and interlining for pockets. There is no need for stationery if everything is done right away on the fabric.

You should start by building the front halves. From the waist line, lower the seat height. Now count 40 millimeters to the left. Make a smooth line creating the middle of the front.
Next, mark the hip circumference from the drawn seat line. From the drawn waist line, count the waist circumference to the left. Now set aside a couple of centimeters along the bottom line to narrow it. Connect the dots you got. Extend these points to the very bottom to create the sides.
Divide the seat line into two. These will be ironings. Next you need to draw the pockets. From the seat line, count 40 millimeters upward. Set aside 60 millimeters from the waist. Connect the dots. I'm done with this pattern.
Now construction of the rear halves. Attach the front halves, step back 80 millimeters from the sides, and transfer all the lines. Set aside 80 millimeters along the waist. Set aside 50 millimeters from the sides along the seat and 20 millimeters along the bottom. Connect everything.
Raise 30 millimeters along the central seam. Connect this at the waist. Decorate the middle of the back half. Next draw a pocket.
Cut out 2 pocket pieces. Lay out the parts on the material, circle, leaving allowances.

Note! If the fabric is elastic, then this will work, but if not, then it is better to leave more room for allowances.

Put 40 millimeters down on the hem. Widen the sides by 20 millimeters. Cut out all the details. Multiply the width of the elastic by two. It’s also worth adding the seam allowance, that is, another centimeter and a half. To calculate the belt, add 120 millimeters to the waist. And don't forget the seam allowance.

Pattern No. 2

Additional Information! For sewing, it is better to use a zigzag stitch. This will stretch the fabric so that the seam does not tear.

Now sew all the details and the knitted shorts with elastic are ready!

How to sew knitwear on a Chaika sewing machine

You need to match the machine needle number to the thickness of the fabric. It’s better, of course, to buy a special one designed for sewing knitted fabrics.
We convert the usual straight stitch to a zigzag stitch (mark “1” in the zigzag on “Chaika 142” and “3” - step width). Visually, the result is a stitch that is practically no different from an ordinary straight line, but a slight inclination of the stitches allows you to stretch the fabric so that the stitch does not tear while wearing the product.
You can try using a double needle. I described in more detail how the line turns out here.
