Pattern Assembly
- Serge together back seam of the shorts (2) with a serger stitch (you can use a straight stitch
- Place the front curved crotch edge of (1) in between the lining and crotch front (3) with right sides of (1) & (3) fabric facing each other. Sew the 3 layers together with a serger stitch. Lining should have the same stretch of the fabric (3) Make sure lining will be on the inside of shorts
- Open the stitch of step 2. and attach both pieces of (3) to back crotch or (2) using a serger stitch
- I usually sew the serger seam down in the back with a cover stitch or zigzag stitch. The T at the crotch (3) and back (2) is a stress point.
- Serger stitch or straight stitch both shorter sides of the two waistbands (4) together
- Fold the waistband (4) in half on the fold line with right side of the fabric facing out
- With right sides of fabric of (1) & (2) facing out. Pin the sewn sides of the folded waistband (4) to the outside of the shorts (1) & (2) at the sewn side seams
- Sew the waistband (4) to the shorts (1) & (2) using a stretch stitch. You are sewing 3 layers of fabric together (overlock machine is recommended)
- Open the seam so it lays flat. Sew the serger stitch down using a stretch stitch (this step is optional)
- Hem the leg holes with a 1/2” hem using a cover stitch, zigzag stitch, or any other stretch stitch. You will hem the crotch lining by tucking it inside the hem. I cut the visible excess lining from the hem
