Sewing Gym Shorts - Beginner Level Tutorial
After recording the bias tape video last time, I decided a project using bias tape would make sense to show next!
All credit for the "City Gym Shorts" pattern and tutorial goes to Purl Soho—thanks for making such a great project! Any deviations you see from their original tutorial are all my own and in no way reflect their pattern.
These shorts are fairly simple to put together. I like that they don't use very much fabric and you can make them in one sitting. There are only three pattern pieces, so the cutting goes quickly. These shorts also require an elastic waistband, which is a skill that I found useful as a beginner because it pretty much eliminates the need for any kind of fitting.
My biggest tip for beginners is simple: go slowly! I have a tendency to make silly mistakes and get sloppy because I'm in a rush to get done with a project. But if you go slowly and carefully, you'll have great results with less time wasted on backtracking.
Hola qué gusto conocerte, me encanta ese modelo de short, quisiera poder hacerle uno a mis hijas, solo que tengo los patrones, tú podrías enviármelos?
