Draw a perpendicular down from point T; at the intersection with the step line we put point B1, and at the intersection with the length line - point H4. Н4Н2 is equal to 1 cm.

We connect points H and H2 with a slightly concave line.

The width of the bottom of the front half of men's shorts. H2H3 is 5cm.

Connect points A and T1 with a straight line.

Men's shorts are cut out according to the pattern on the fabric with a seam on the side. You can cut the shorts unfolded without a side seam if the width of the fabric allows.

When cutting the shorts on the fabric, make an allowance for hemming the bottom of the shorts 3cm, for gathering at the top - 4cm, for all other seams - 1cm. An elastic band 3 cm wide is measured at the waist with a slight tension.

I think you will be interested:

What could be more comfortable than shorts for men on a hot summer day? Of course, you won't go to work in this form, but to relax on the street and at home this is exactly what you need. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to buy an expensive thing, because the pattern of which is very easy, you can sew it yourself. To do this, you will need fabric, paper or a construction oilcloth to model the workpiece, a typewriter and, of course, desire.

About cutting and sewing

The pattern of men's shorts is done in two ways.

The first way

Modeling shorts on the main Here you will need to calculate the length of the future product, make allowances for free fit and remove the tackle darts. The first two points are clear, but what about the last one? There is nothing complicated about it. The fit of the shorts at the waist is usually done with an elastic band and drawstring, while the leg is in most cases straight from the hip. Therefore, in order to align the outer cut of the leg, you need to remove the dart. To do 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 along the side seams so that the shorts can be easily put on.

If the style provides a standard trouser fit and a zipper, then it will be enough to adjust only the length. Such construction of the pattern of shorts is used by professional cutters.

Second way

It is a little clumsy, but if you don't have a basic base of trousers of the right size at hand, you simply cannot do without it. In this case, the pattern of men's shorts is done as follows:

Depending on the chosen style, the shorts can be modeled using a pattern made in both ways. So, for example, in the side seams it is easy to leave decorative cuts with rounded edges of the front and back halves. Side inserts made of contrasting fabric will look interesting, and it can be not only straight vertical lines. The pattern of men's shorts can be cut into several parts with smooth lines or sharp corners, but remember that 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 are exactly the thing that will only benefit from its presence. Floral patterns, vertical, horizontal and even diagonal stripes, camouflage colors and the most incredible designs with embroidered fabric are all a fashion trend that has lived for many seasons. And combinations with such a thing can be the most unexpected. Designers in their collections suggest combining seemingly inappropriate things, but the result is simply amazing. So, for example, a combination of a strict jumper 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 can find his ideal summer version without changing his style.

The pattern of men's shorts with an elastic band appeared one of the first on the site, which is clear from its serial number. The pattern was built, as already indicated by me, under the cheerful jersey in mice.

Actually, this jersey made me build a separate pattern, and not dance from the already available one. The waistband, from which the shorts were sewn, is a rather flimsy material for a man, but, due to the increased width of the shorts, it turns out to be quite reliable.

The pattern should be suitable for sewing the simplest men's shorts "family members", if, of course, I remember them correctly. It is better to use knitwear for panties, but classic satin will do.

Cutting men's shorts with elastic

The pattern of men's shorts is built without seam allowances, we will add them ourselves. The width of all allowances for sewing on a conventional sewing machine is equal to the width of the foot, for the overlock - the width of the stitch. We cut the pockets with 1 cm allowances, at the top - 2 cm.

The pattern of men's shorts with an elastic band already contains a one-piece belt and hem, nothing needs to be added, except for processing allowances.

We will cut two front and two back halves, a pocket can be one or two. I sewed one with a zipper.

Sewing men's shorts with elastic

Like other waist patterns of this kind, this one is extremely simple.

If we make a pocket, then we start with it. Iron the entrance to the pocket twice and secure it with parallel finishing stitches. Iron the remaining sections of the pocket to the wrong side by 1 cm.From the pattern we transfer the location lines, sew the pocket with hand stitches or pin it with pins and lay the finishing lines 0.1 cm wide from the edge and, if desired, the second one to the width of the sewing machine's foot from the first.

Sew side, middle and crotch seams. You can change the order, it has no fundamental significance. Iron the seams and iron them. On the seamy side, we iron the allowances of the bottom and upper cut of the shorts with an elastic band by 1 cm. The second time we iron along the lines that were transferred from the pattern. We apply hem allowances to the shorts with an elastic band and fasten with finishing lines on a sewing machine, departing from the ironed sections of 0.1 cm.At the top, near the front middle cut in the belt, we leave a hole for threading the elastic.

Men's shorts are perhaps one of the most controversial items in men's wardrobe. After all, since ancient times, boys have sought to grow out of "short pants", and long pants were seen as a sign of growing up and "the entrance to the world of men."

But it happens that in the summer the asphalt melts underfoot from the heat, and shorts can increasingly be found on city streets. Of course, you can't put them on at work, but you can't think of the best summer clothes for your free time. And on the beach and fishing, picnic and out-of-town walk, a pair of shorts will be simply irreplaceable.

Today our selection is dedicated to several original models shortsthat you can sew for your loved ones do it yourself... Many models are based on the same pattern, the most common

1. For our country, shorts are an element of modern clothing, unusual for a traditional costume, however, in regions with a milder climate, men have been wearing short pants for more than a century.
