I was wondering would there be any reason why second step (for binding with fold over elastic) couldn’t be done first? I have regular sewing machine at home, but serger I can only use at the local library. I could prepare the bindings and then proceed in the order here. Would it make significant difference if I swap those two first steps?
This style SEAMS so much more complicated than the ones without the snack pocket... are these beginner friendly or should I start with a pair without the quick exit?
Hi! The front opening in this design does not make it particularly hard, but some basic knowledge on how to work/sew knit fabrics is needed here. Despite this, here are two different designs with no front opening: BOXER 03: th-cam.com/video/v1omxcap4uM/w-d-xo.html BOXER 01: th-cam.com/video/ewtM54wYfng/w-d-xo.html
Hi! If you want to see how to enclose both seams and darts, here are two examples from my channel: th-cam.com/video/v1omxcap4uM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ewtM54wYfng/w-d-xo.html

Hi! Nope, there is no difference at all; you can do it either way =)!
@@PDFPATTERNSBOUTIQUE thanks for the quick reply! I can start then right away! The pattern and the instructions are superb!
@@jonikamppa5091 Thanks a lot =)!!
That's a pretty cool library!
What if we need to make the size bigger like 3x+, how to we make the pattern bigger?
Hi! If you have some basic knowledge of pattern grading, you can use the existing grading points and values to create a couple of additional sizes.

Why would you have the ball dart exposed and not in between?

Nice work, as always. But I feel that you should model what you sew on you 😀, so we see it on a actual body.
Thanks a lot for your comment and suggestions 😉!!
