If you want to update the children's wardrobe by the summer, you can replenish it with short and original pants. Following a detailed description, the pattern of children's shorts for the boy will be built independently by each mother, without having much experience and skills.
Building a basic grid
Sewing shorts on a child is very practical, since young children grow surprisingly quickly. Having a ready-made pattern of children's shorts for a boy, you can gradually increase the size and extend the length of the legs. This type of clothing is convenient to wear in kindergarten, as well as for walks in the summer.
To build a grid, it is necessary to measure the hips of the child and determine the length of the model. Next, draw a rectangle with a width equal to half the size of the circumference of the hips and an increase of 10 cm, necessary for free fitting. The length of the shorts to the step line will be equal to the fourth part of the girth of the hips. It is worth adding an increase of 7 cm. Below the step line, the length is arbitrary, according to your desire, plus 3 cm for the hem. The middle of the drawing will serve as the side line. The back of the model is drawn on the left half of the template, respectively, and the front is drawn on the right side. Next, a pattern of children's shorts for a boy is built on the base grid.
Building the front of the model
On the right side of the template, the waist line must be lowered by 1 cm and the resulting point B connected to the top of the side segment. Then from the step line up we measure the distance equal to the eighth of the circumference of the hips and set point G. Then we extend the step line to the right by 1/16 of the first measurement and mark the letter D. Connect the last two marks with the angle of the bottom line. In this case, do not make sharp transitions. From the bottom of the lateral line we rise by 3 cm, set point E and connect it to the lower right corner of the drawing. The front part of the pattern of children's shorts for the boy is ready.
Build the back
Next, on the left side of the template, you need to draw the back half. Draw a smooth line connecting point E and the lower left corner of the grid. After that, we extend it by 3.5 cm. We increase the step line on the left side by 1/8 of the thigh circumference. The ends of the lower and middle segments are connected, thereby forming a step seam. Then, from the starting angle A, we reduce the horizontal line by 3 cm and the vertical line by 10 cm. We connect the upper point of the step seam with the resulting auxiliary marks and extend the smooth line up 3 cm. Now we will consider how to sew children's shorts using the resulting pattern .
Tailoring models
After you have drawn a pattern on a piece of paper, you need to copy it onto the fabric of your choice. For sewing, you need two parts transferred to the material in a mirror image. We cut the workpiece, given the allowances for laying seams. We connect the two parts from the front and back sides. Then we lay a step seam between the legs. We bend the lower edges and sew. In order to sew shorts on an elastic band, it is necessary to bend the edge of the waist line inward to a width of at least 5 cm. Sew, leaving a small hole for sticking in the elastic band.
We sew shorts in one evening
If you are in a hurry and you urgently need to sew children's sports shorts, then there is an easier way to make them yourself.
To do this, take any old short pants that the child wore earlier. Having folded them in half, place them on a piece of paper and separately outline first the outline of the front, then the back of the model. You should get two parts of one leg. Sewing sports shorts requires wear-resistant material. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate fabric.
Cut out the prepared pattern from a paper sheet. Transfer the contours to the material and add 3 cm on each side to make the seams. Cut out the details of future shorts from fabric. Connect the front and back parts of the left side of the model. Do the same with the right side. Use overlock on the side seams. This procedure can be replaced with a zigzag, and then lay a straight line next to it. The stronger the seams, the longer the sports shorts will be worn. Next, you need to make the front and back seams, and then seamlessly lay a zigzag between the legs. Treat the remaining slices from the bottom and top. At the next step, you need to bend the bottom cut inward and bast, then lay the line on the typewriter. We do the same with the top edge. We bend and sew, considering the place for threading the gum.
Thus, lengthening the model and increasing its size, you can sew shorts of any style. The main thing is not to be afraid to fantasize and have some free time.
