What could be more comfortable shorts for men on a hot summer day? Of course, you won’t go to work in this form, but this is exactly what you need to relax on the street and at home. Moreover, buying an expensive thing is not necessary at all, because men's shorts, the pattern of which is done very easily, can be sewn independently. To do this, you need fabric, paper or construction oilcloth for modeling the workpiece, sewing supplies, a machine and, naturally, desire.
About cutting and sewing
The pattern of men's shorts is done in two ways.
First way
Modeling shorts on the main pattern of trousers. Here you will need to calculate the length of the future product, make allowances for a free fit and remove the tuck tucks. The first two points are clear, but what about the last? There is nothing complicated about it. Shorts at the waist are usually made with an elastic band and a lace; in most cases, the trouser leg is straight from the hip. Therefore, to align the outer section of the leg, you need to remove the tuck. For this, a perpendicular is drawn from its top to the bottom, along this line the pattern of men's shorts is cut to the top and aligned at the waist. Increases are made at the side seams so that the shorts can be easily worn.
If the style provides for a standard trouser fit and a zipper, then it will be enough to adjust only the length. Such a construction of a pattern of shorts is used by professional cutters.
Second way
He’s a little clumsy, but if you don’t have the basic base of trousers of the right size at hand, you just can’t do without it. In this case, the pattern of men's shorts is done as follows:
- we take our favorite trousers, we turn inside out, we put one leg in another and put it on paper;
- alternately circle the back and front halves, unfolding the trousers so as to correctly transfer the lines and bends;
- we make allowances for a free fit and the desired length of the workpiece.
Depending on the chosen style, shorts can be modeled using a pattern made in one way or another. So, for example, in the side seams it is easy to leave decorative cuts with rounded edges of the front and rear halves. Side inserts made of contrasting fabric will look interesting, and these can be not only directly vertical lines. The pattern of men's shorts can be cut into several parts with smooth lines or sharp corners, but you should remember - the more shaped parts, the harder the assembly of the product.
About color
The pattern on the fabric is not always appropriate, but summer shorts, this is exactly the thing that will only benefit from its presence. Floral patterns, vertical, horizontal and even diagonal stripes, camouflage-style colors and the most incredible patterns with embroidered fabric - all this is a fashion trend that has been living for many seasons. And combinations with such a thing may be the most unexpected. Designers in their collections suggest combining seemingly inconsistent things, but the result is simply amazing. For example, a combination of a strict sweater with striped shorts, a jacket - with embroidered capri pants or a plain shirt - with a model with a floral pattern. There are a lot of variations, so even the most capricious man will be able to find his ideal summer option without changing his style.
