Workout Shorts with Crotch Gusset

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.
