    No need to overlap the elastic.... just butt the ends together and do a wide 4 to 4.5 width and shorten the stich then sew down it. Then a 3 width stich in reverse all the way back where you started.. I've been doing this way for years and I have never had one fail. The results are a nice and smooth join.

    Thank you so much for this I'm a 31 year old male and I have been making some of my own clothes for the last year now using templates and a 1935 sewing machine that my great great grand mother used and its a beast it weighs a ton its all metal and its basically a smaller version of a industrial machine for your house and I have been making simple stuff like plain colored t-shirts and a few polos and casual dress button downs and they look amazing and cnt tell the difference between mine and desugner name brands i already have stiching material and design wise. Thanks for this video I made my first pair of shorts and they look and feel amazing and i made my gf a pair of shorts using a womens shorts template and she loves them says its the most comfortable pair of shorts she ever owned for lounging around and jogging in.

      @@krupaenterprises6853 Hi! Thanks for your comment. Let em answer your question: All patterns from us have a basic layout guide on how to place the pattern pieces onto the fabric.. All these videos start from that point on (once all pattern pieces are cut). Cutting the fabric is pretty standard once you know how to place the pattenr pieces on it. Thsi is what the guide helps you doing.

    I was going to sew some shorts for myself, I noticed that the pattern on your shop only goes up to XL, if I just expand the cuts a little bit will it accommodate someone of bigger size? Thank you. I will 100% come to this video when I start to see the shorts.

    • @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE
      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  Рік тому +2

      Hi! That is correct; this pattern is available up to size XL. Despite this, I can provide a guide on how to enlarge this pattern; It's quite simple and it can be done when cutting the fabric (just using some chalk).

  • @Oyinscorner
    @Oyinscorner 2 роки тому +4

    Two questions:
    What kind of elastic did you use?
    What kind of stitch did you use when seeing the elastic into the waistband at 28:36?
    Great video by the way.

    • @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE
      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  2 роки тому +4

      Hi! I’ve used here some cotton elastic. A polyester one can also be used.
      The stitch used at 28:36 is a basic lockstitch (the regular stitch from a home sewing machine).

    Thank you for this video!! I purchased your pattern last summer & have made four pairs of shorts so far 😊 I am curious, however, is a 3-thread overlock better than a 4-thread when attaching the waistband to the shorts?

    • @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE
      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  3 роки тому +3

      You re welcome! Wow =)!! It'll be awesome if you could share some pictures of the final result (you can actually do so in Etsy when leaving a review). Regarding your question; a 4-thread overlock has an extra seam over the 3-thread one. Because of that, the 4-thread's seam is more "secure". Despide that, both machines could be used to ensamble this whole piece..

    What is the elastic band measurement ? Comparing the waistline of the short. I am a bit lost. Thanks in advance for replying.

    • @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE
      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi! Generally speaking, this type of pant has a waist as wide as the hips plus some ease. Then, the elastic waistband is cut based on the body waist measurement minus a reduction, usually up to 25%. In addition, you should always check that the elastic stretches enough to be sewn properly.

      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  Рік тому +1

      Hi! Do you mean not to use the pockets? This design is as it is shown in the video; it has two front pockets. However, you may alter the pattern by removing them if you want to. Some pattern alteration knowledge will be needed, though. The overall pattern fit will still be OK.

    • @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE
      @PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE  3 роки тому +2

      Hi! Thanks for your comment. Let me answer your question right away: using a serger is advised but not compulsory; any "stretch seam" or "fake serger" seam (all basic home machines have one) will do. Ultimately, a double lockstitch (sewing twice) will also be OK.
