Hey! Greetings 👋🏻😊 Do you like simple sewing projects, depending on whether you're a beginner or not? Me too! You don't realize how much easier it makes life when you see a tutorial online explaining a pattern for making a garment, and it seems difficult, especially when it looks so simple. But when you try to put it into practice, you don't know where to start, and that's very frustrating. During this time that I've shared my work with you in this community @needleworkmonday, my goal has always been to help you make simple, easy garments with my tutorials and the process. These are the kinds of projects you might have when you happen to have scraps of fabric at home and don't know what to do with them because you don't know how. That's why I've decided to show you a little more than just cutting and sewing these garments. I'd like to share the patterns with you and show you how you can make them in a practical way too.
The project consists of sharing everything I'm learning about basic pattern making in my sewing course with you. These past few weeks we've been working on pattern making, cutting, and sewing t-shirts, leggings, bodysuits, jumpsuits, and shorts. This time, I'll share the pattern for basic shorts, the kind we use as pajamas for lounging at home or sleeping. We'll be making them with Lycra fabric. To start the basic pattern making project, I'll share a pattern here in this community every Friday so you can learn to draft patterns and adapt them for other garments. This coming Friday, May 29th, I'll share the pattern for these shorts and how you can make them with your measurements. You'll only need paper (bond, recycled, etc.), a ruler, an eraser, a pencil, markers or colored pencils, and your measuring tape.
Without further ado, let's get on with the cutting✂️ and sewing process🪡.

Paso 01
Step 01
As a starting point, I already have my patterns on hand. Let's proceed to spread our fabric on a flat surface and place our pattern on it. In this case, I will cut two pieces for the front piece and two for the back piece as well. We will not respect or leave a seam allowance because when working with elastic or stretch fabrics, the shorts can end up much wider if we leave a seam allowance. The idea is for them to fit snugly on the body. This depends on your preference; if you like them wider, then you should add 1 cm of seam allowance to the pattern. (NOTE: If you are going to sew the edge of the shorts or the pieces with an overlock stitch, I recommend that you leave a 0.5 cm seam allowance).


Paso 02
Step 02
Okay, after having the pieces cut it's time to put pins so that the fabric doesn't roll up, and in this type of Lycra fabric that rolls up more if necessary, then we start joining the crotches both the front and the back, in this case I sewed with overlock stitching and straight stitching.


Paso 03
Step 03
The next step is to sew the crotch of the shorts and the sides, sealing the shorts along those lines. Then, we will take our elastic, seal the ends, and place it inside the waistband of the shorts, stretching it so that it fits the shorts. You can also pin the elastic to prevent it from rolling up.


Paso 04
Step 04
After sewing our elastic, we fold it and finish it with a straight seam on top, stretching it again. This way it is finished, and we finish by sewing the hem of the shorts.
