DIY: Make Your Own Pole Shorts Pattern from a Pair of Undies

Any chance that you will be some sort of tutorial to a pole top? XD It's funny I've been sewing since I was little but I've never sewn anything so form fitting as bras/undies/or anything as form fitting. Mostly big costumes. (ask me to draft a corset, or pirate jacket and I can have a pattern in minutes…. but…. sometimes I get a little wary when working with somehting that I've never made before. Admittedly I have a general sense of how to- but some of the ones in your gallery are so nice that I was wondering if you had other tutorials planned.

@ Mitzy Blue, I'll definitely be doing more DIY pattern tutorials in the future, as well as how to troubleshoot the basic patterns to fit different knit fabrics.

I used a pair of pole shorts that I love, and pinned them to a piece of paper. Using a pin, I poked the pattern of the fabric onto the paper, then traced it. I added a little more for seam allowance and a little extra just in case. Then, when I sewed the pieces together, I adjusted to fit me. This way, I can make my own pole shorts just like my favorite ones and not ruin them since I did not cut them up! And they fit perfect.
