 I am so happy to share with you my new pattern, the Silvena Boyshort!
My Tanja Boyshort pattern has become one of my best-selling patterns, so I wanted to create for you a boyshort specially designed to use beautiful stretch laces. Let's take a closer look. Ahead of publishing my new lace boyshort pattern, I wanted to share with you a pattern alteration to help achieve the best fit in boyshorts. Do you ever find the back of the leg opening gaping at the bum? Perhaps you have a flatter bum or narrower hips than what the pattern is drafted for. Below is a simple pattern alteration to shorten the width of the leg opening to get a smoother fit. Problem: Gaping at the bum Symptoms:Excess fabric and looseness at the back leg opening Solution: Shorten the width of the leg openingDetermine the excess amount and divide by two. For this example, let's use 1" as the excess amount; divided in two and we have 1/2". On the pattern piece, bring in the inseam at the leg opening 1/2" on each side. You can see the new inseam and leg opening lines below drawn in red. Measure the new inseam length on each side to make sure the lengths match. Adjust if necessary.  If you are using a pattern with elastic or bands to finish the leg opening, you will need to shorten those lengths as well.
