Pattern of men's shorts with their own hands? Easy!

What can be a more comfortable short for men on a hot summer day? At work, of course, in this form you will not go, but for recreation on the street and at home this is exactly what you need. And buy an expensive thing is not necessary, because men's shorts, whose pattern is made very easily, you can sew yourself. To do this, you will need a fabric, paper or construction oilcloth to model the workpiece, sewing accessories, a machine and, of course, desire.

About cutting and tailoring

The pattern of men's shorts is done in two ways.

The first way

Simulation of shorts on the basic pattern of trousers. Here you will need to calculate the length of the future product, make an increase in free fit and remove the thawed tucks. With the first two points is clear, but how to be with the latter? Nothing complicated in this. Planting shorts at the waist is usually done on an elastic band and a lace, the trouser is in most cases straight from the hip. Therefore, to align the outer cut of the leg, you need to remove the dart. To do this, a perpendicular is drawn from its top to the bottom, along this line the pattern of male shorts is cut to the top and combined at the waist. On the side seams are made increases - so that shorts can be easily worn.

If the style provides a standard trouser fit and zipper, then only length will be enough to correct. Such a pattern of shorts is used by professional cutters.

The second way

It is a bit clumsy, but if you do not have the base base of trousers of the right size, you can not do without it. In this case, the pattern of male shorts is done as follows:

• We take our favorite trousers, turn them inside out, insert one leg into the other and apply them to the paper;
• Alternately circle the back and front halves, unfolding the trousers so that the lines and bends move correctly;
• Make additions to the free fit and the desired length of the workpiece.

Depending on the chosen style, shorts can be modeled using a pattern made in both ways. For example, in the side seams it is easy to leave decorative incisions with rounded edges of the front and back halves. It will be interesting to look at the side inserts from the contrasting fabric, and this can be not only straight vertical lines. The pattern of men's shorts can be cut into several parts with smooth lines or sharp angles, but remember - the more shaped parts, the harder the assembly of the product.

About color

Drawing on the fabric is not always appropriate, but summer shorts, this is exactly the thing that will only benefit from its availability. Floral patterns, vertical, horizontal and even diagonal stripes, camouflage colors and the most incredible models with embroidered fabric - all this is a fashion trend that has been alive for many seasons. And combinations with such a thing can be the most unexpected. Designers in their collections suggest combining seemingly inappropriate things, but the result is simply terrific. So, for example, a combination of a strict cardigan with shorts in stripes, a jacket - with embroidered capri or a monochrome shirt - with a pattern with a floral pattern. Variation mass, so even the most capricious man can find his perfect summer option without changing his style.
