Hi, I was looking for a DIY video for men's shorts, and found your video, instead. Very useful video, and you made it look easy. Thanks for the encouragement! Take care.
I really like this. It looks easy to follow. My dog keeps chewing up my clothes, and I’m tired of buying new ones(plus I’m poor). I’m currently out of shorts because of it. I think I’ll finally be able to use my sewing machine and make some clothes with this tutorial.
Oh man, your comment made my day! Besides the money part, making out own clothes gives us extra joy when you proudly wear them! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😘❤️
Hey guys! This is just a simple video showing you an easy way to do your own summer shorts. Just follow the steps and you'll see how easy it is to make them. Like and subscribe if you enjoyed it!! :)
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 there! I changed the color of the elastic, so probably your confusion comes from that. You're right, you only need to sew one elastic (the one around your waist). Hope I could help :)
Thank you for making this video so easy to follow. Could you do more how to create a pattern for a summer tank top with ribbon ties on the shoulder? Thank you!
Hi there! I am a new subscriber and I'd like to thank you for the great content. Much appreciated! I'd like to ask again for the type of fabric that you've used please (I'm a beginner so sorry if I keep asking) 🤷🏻♀️ sending you love 💕💕💕💙
Hello there!! This fabric is a type of viscose. The kind of fabric that doesn’t really need to be ironed. You can use any light fabric you think it’ll work, really! Any kind of polyester or you can try with a cotton fabric too. Hope I could help! 😘😬
@@thepolkadotter thank you for the helpful answer 😘💙 It would be great if you can do a video about types of fabric (just an idea) and are you on instagram? I'd love to follow you 💕
Hi, I tried making them but Im stuck in the part of folding the upper part to insert the elastic.. I just cant saw it without it getting baggy..do u have any tips for me? Thank you
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 :)
Awesome tutorial, but can you please explain the part where you put one side inside the other? I don't understand how you made the U shape or what part of the shorts that is
@@karinarodriguez3519 I'm just as confused as you are lol :) I guess I'm just not very good at following tutorials. But if I had to guess, I would say maybe she left a little more space in the back to keep it from being too fitted. Before you make a pair yourself, I would trace a pair of your old shorts anyway just to make sure the pattern makes sense.
hey there! I'm gonna try and explain it :) 1 . (min 3:51) you'll need to turn one piece to the right side - having one piece on the right and one in the reversed side. 2 . (min 4:12) put the right sided piece inside the reversed one - lining up the seams. The tricky part here - because I saddly fasten the video - is that you have the pieces (one inside de other) folded in half by the seams, and you have to ''open'' them and fold it having the seams in the center (min 4:20) finnaly having the ''U shape''. Once the shorts are done that is going to be the center seam! I really hope I could help you :)
@@thegreenroom8878 yes, the back part is supposed to be a little bit longer (because of... butt!) but I'm affraid I cut both pieces the same size in this tutorial :)
You're absolutely right! I forgot to mention that in this video. I'm planning on making an update os this video where I explain that in a better way. Thanks for your comment!! 😘❤️
Yes but for someone who has never made a pair of shorts - like me - and would like to try... simple is better. I made a pair of shorts for the first time watching this video. Then I was able to look at the fit, and see where adjustments can be made on the pattern for my next pair. Great video, thank you!!
Hey dear! I’m not sure I understand what you mean about the blue tie. In any case, you put only one elastic all around the waist. Hope I could help you! 😘❤️
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!
QUESTION(!): If the elastic you showed was *white,...what was the *black one (slightly narrower) that you laid-across when the text/words said elastic???...please?🤗🤭 Thank you.😉
Hi there! I had to change the elastic because the white one wasn’t working but the size is the same! Just imagine the black one from the beginning eheheh 😘
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!! ❤️
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 😘
+Macy Leigh hey! I didn't use a stretchy fabric in this tutorial, because I wanted a flowy look but you can, and have a fitter look! Thanks for watching 😘❤️
Hey there! In this video you'll have to use some old shorts that fit you for pattern. I'm planning on making a new video explaining how to make them without the old shorts! Stay tuned 😘❤️
Hello! This measurements are for an small/medium size. If you wanna make it bigger add 2 cm to each measurement (to increase one size) hope I could help 😘❤️
The waist didnot fit..I guess the elastic on the pattern pant should not be traced as the finushed product with elastic is fitting in.. I wasted my fabric :( the tutorial is easy to follow but the waist has issues... :(
Hey there! I really need to do an update on this video, I'm sorry it was not clear :( the waist is supposed to be large enough to fit your bottom and the elastic should be measured directly around your waist. Hope you can try it again and it works! 😘❤️
The Polkadotter no problem dear! Atleast u replied! Tell me, if I measure 30 at waist, how much should I measure the waist for the cloth cutting? So that the elastic can be fitted accordingly? And it seems the back part of the cloth should be bigger than the front to accommodate the bottom! None of the TH-cam videos have this part and measurements clear. Could u pls make a video with measurements and not with the ready made garment pattern pls.. need to make boxers to be worn at home..thanks a ton! ♥️
+Michelle Fel hey! Yes, the back has a deeper curve than the front when, in the beginning you're cutting both parts. We need to leave room for the bootie 😘❤️
After days of tears, cutting up shorts, and analyzing patterns, this tutorial finally helped me make a nice pair of shorts, thank you!
Aww so happy you liked it!! 😘😘
This is one of the best shorts tutorials I have ever watched! Extremely well done

thank you. do you make a tutorial for basic tank tops with or without a bias?
I'll definitly put that on my list, thank you for the suggestion! :)
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)
This was the best tutorial no talking sometimes this is good 🙂 in order to concentrate

YASSS!! So happy to read that 😘
Really very thankful to u, for this easy method 😍, I stitched n that was giving a really good look☺️
YAAAYY!!
I would like to ask a question about the tutorial..Why we need to sew both black elastic and then white elastic after together? Instead of only one ?
hey there! I changed the color of the elastic, so probably your confusion comes from that. You're right, you only need to sew one elastic (the one around your waist). Hope I could help :)

hi, what is the best pair of shorts to use as a pattern?
Hello there! I used a a regular pair, not stretchy with high waist. Hope I could help 😘
Thank you for this tutorial. I will try this at home.
Did it come out good? :)
Fantastic video - just made mine and your video helped so much - thank you :)
YAYYY! :)
The back side is cut differently. These would be so uncomfortable without the slight bit of extra fabric for the back.
You're absolutely right! I forgot to mention that in this video. I'm planning on making an update os this video where I explain that in a better way. Thanks for your comment!! 😘❤️
Nancy Miller Thank you! This Video was really good. But i was a bit confused about the back side.
Yes but for someone who has never made a pair of shorts - like me - and would like to try... simple is better. I made a pair of shorts for the first time watching this video. Then I was able to look at the fit, and see where adjustments can be made on the pattern for my next pair. Great video, thank you!!
Hii :) ive got a question; do you put two elastics in it? What is that blue tie?
Hey dear! I’m not sure I understand what you mean about the blue tie. In any case, you put only one elastic all around the waist. Hope I could help you! 😘❤️
Thanks you ❤️
About how many pounds did you get the threading machine for mate?
Is this a stretch fabric?
No, it's not :)
thank you for helping now i have summer shots you are two good
Hey there! I'm so glad you understood the tutorial! I would love to see them! Keep up and thanks for watching :) ❤️
What kind of machines do you use?
Hello there! For this I used Singer Tradition 2282 :)
Oh thank you
I made them ! first time I sewed shorts it was so easy . ty
Thank you! For watching 😘❤️
very good video and very understandable👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much for your kind words! 😘❤️
Is it ok to use a fabric with no stretch.. ? I am new to sewing. Thank you
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!
Nice craft 👌👌 now you have a new subscriber
thank you so much!! so happy you liked it!
QUESTION(!): If the elastic you showed was *white,...what was the *black one (slightly narrower) that you laid-across when the text/words said elastic???...please?🤗🤭 Thank you.😉
Hi there! I had to change the elastic because the white one wasn’t working but the size is the same! Just imagine the black one from the beginning eheheh 😘
Got ya! Thank you. [Im off, now. . . .*imagining*!]😂
Shouldn't the back fabric be larger than the front one while cutting ?
Yes, it should! I made that mistake in this video :)
@@thepolkadotter but did it still work...?
It did cause I don’t have that much of a bottom. But if you have a bigger booty it will definitely make the difference
The Polkadotter okay, thanks
