Workout Shorts: Perfect Workout shorts require a few things. Let me list them:
- Good quality fabric of at least 12oz of bamboo, cotton, nylon or the like and at least 12% spandex. Below are made with Bamboo, Viscose and 14% Spandex.
- A gusset crotch that is the perfect size. You need to figure this out when you make your muslin, otherwise you'll experience some uncomfortable bunching or camel toe.
- Gusset with a double layer of fabric.
- Perfect construction order to make sure that gusset lays flat
- Topstitching. Mine are done with a coverstitch. I use stretch thread for the "cover" portion only.
- The right length to avoid thigh rubbing.
- A waist that sits below the belly button or lower waisted, but does not fall down as you're working out. 1/4" elastic serged to the inside top of the waistband as added support for a stay in place fit.This short pattern is available on my ETSY Store: Hourglass Patterns©: Active Pant with Yoga Waist and Optional Back Yoke
