The Tomboy Boys are growing fast. And so quickly all their clothes wear out. The summer wardrobe is particularly susceptible to damage. Holes on the knees of jeans trousers, hooks on T-shirts, worn shorts - all this “disgrace” drives mothers into despondency, because they often do not have enough clothes for their sons. Constantly buying new things is expensive, and it makes no sense - very quickly they will turn into old ones. A great alternative is independent sewing, if not of the whole wardrobe, then at least of its individual elements. It is actually very simple to sew some things, a good step-by-step instruction would be on hand. In today's article, the readers are presented with patterns of shorts for the boy, and also in general terms they are told how to work with them.
Universal model with pockets
We begin our review with a very simple and winning model, which is suitable not only for boys but also for girls. The main thing is to choose the appropriate fabric and decor. Readers are presented with a pattern of shorts for a boy. This product has two patch pockets on the front and back. Ready-made shorts are free, they do not constrain movements, which is especially convenient for children who love active leisure and outdoor games.
This pattern of shorts for a boy, as can be seen from the figure, consists of such elements as:
- front end;
- rear end;
- cutting belt;
- pockets.
All details, except the belt, are cut out in duplicate; note that the seam allowances in this pattern are already added.
Make a difference
The standard model of these shorts is sewn from ordinary cotton fabric. Of course, you can choose any color. We suggest trying to combine several fabrics. So, you can select only pockets or make the entire upper part of the product more expressive. In this case, the pattern of shorts for the boy is a little modernized. In the place of the proposed undercut on the finished product, it is necessary to divide the scheme by adding 0.5 cm of fabric on the upper and lower parts for stitching the parts into a single whole.
Before proceeding to seam the side and step seams, it will be necessary to sweep and stitch the part combined from several types of fabric.
Plain elastic shorts
The following picture (Fig. 2) shows a pattern of shorts for a boy with an elastic band. And also an already finished product sewn on it. As you can see in the photo, this is a model without pockets. This scheme involves the creation of a product for a child whose height is 110 cm. It is necessary to cut, as in the previous version, two details of the front and rear, as well as the belt.
Product assembly begins with the sewing of the front and rear seams. Then the details are connected to each other in the groin. Next, you need to grind side sections and measure future shorts.
If the fitting has shown that the product sits well, you can start sewing on the belt, inserting the elastic, processing the sections of the legs. If you wish, you can still add patch pockets on the back or just snag valves, decorating them with buttons.
Military trick
According to Figure 1, located in the above picture, do-it-yourself shorts for the boy are also sewn. Patterns of these two models are slightly different. Model No. 2 is slightly wider, in addition, it is equipped with a massive patch pocket with a valve. Its schematic image is also shown in the figure. It is tuned to the product on top and on the front side, while symmetrically entering the front and back of the shorts.
Before proceeding to attach the pocket, we must not forget about its preliminary processing. The valve and the upper section of the part are detached, the lower and lateral sides must be bent and ironed to facilitate subsequent sewing.
Elementary, mom!
Lastly, we’ll talk about how to sew shorts for a boy whose pattern is not necessary at all. This product is from a knitted fabric, which has excellent elasticity, fits beautifully, is practical to wear and quite durable.
The figure shows step-by-step instructions for creating such a model of shortened pants. As can be seen from the image, the pattern of such shorts is drawn directly on the fabric, by eye. You can use the finished product of your favorite style, attaching it to the fabric and copying the silhouette.
Sewing knitwear is better with a special needle, with a rounded tip, which gently enters the weave of the threads, without leaving arrows on the material. The advantage of this fabric is that things from it do not need to be cut, which greatly facilitates sewing clothes.
