    Hello, When you say to put the front pieces together when tracing around, do you actually turn the front pieces so they are facing each other and then lay it down and trace around or turn it the other way so the back is facing? (Sorry silly question I know but I'm a bit confused)

      hey! You can definitely use a non stretchy fabric, the one I use is not stretchy. It just gets a better look if it's light and flowy, but you can use a non stretchy fabric for sure!

    • @thepolkadotter
      @thepolkadotter  4 роки тому

      hey there! whe you say baggy you mean that the waist is like loose? cause maybe you need to shorten the lenght of the elastic, to the the size of your waist - or a little bit less than that :)

      hello there! hmm... You have to cut it right in the beggining. just follow the ''pattern'' of your own shorts and you'll definitly have that curved ''small area''. if you can't seem to find it just extend that part in the shorts you're making to look similar to the one in the tutorial :)

    Hi, great tutorial, and super clear, but I'm making a mistake somewhere and I don't know where. I've tried twice and each time I can't pull my shorts up past my thigh. I have a small waist and I copied shorts that fit me and are a little loose but each time it still doesn't work. Very frustrating, and I'm a beginner, so I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!! ❤️

    • @thepolkadotter
      @thepolkadotter  4 роки тому

      Hello there! Maybe you have to make your waist size a little bigger. With the elastic it will make no difference. I think that way you will be able to pull them up! Let me know if it worked out 😘

      +JEYA LAKSHMI hello! You'll have to measure around your waist and then take about 5/7cm when cutting the elastic! It's everything based in your measurements. For example if you measure 60cm around waist you cut the elastic with 53/55cm 😘❤️

      I always use to not cut the elastic before its inside the pants or whatever because having a longer strip prevents the end to be lost and then try the pants on and remove the extra until I have the tension I want then I add about 1,5- 2cm before cutting it.
