[@maryannfournier5404]

So far, I have made 4 pairs of these shorts. I love them! Love them! I am sure I will make another 4 pair at least. The printed directions are good, but your video makes the burrito roll so much easier to understand. Thank you.

[@jawzobang8062]

I have been making these since 1994 and have been using them since. Great job I normally use a different color knit for the inner part

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

They are wonderful! I’m glad you like them!

[@maryannfournier5404]

I bought this pattern when it was introduced but haven't made them yet. I love your tutorial along with the explicit instructions on the pattern instructions. I am really excited to make these and, like you, will probably make a dozen pair.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed the video tutorial, and I can't wait to hear if you loved it when you get to the project.

[@marytorg]

Love the gusset

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks! Me too!

[@cschwab2969]

These are going to be so useful! Thank you…and they look really easy.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You are so welcome!

[@jordisbraun4985]

Make these shorts since 2 years and I thought I found a new kind of gusset than but now I see its YOUR gusset too. I love these shorts under sommer dresses

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I’m glad you love them!

[@aribella6913]

I love slip shorts! With gusset

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks!

[@normacooper6377]

Second thoughts happen to everyone sometimes.🤭 Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

You’re welcome 😊

[@tyandc]

Great video and I love your instructions. I’ve learned most of what I know about sewing clothing from your videos and Ellie & Mac patterns. I was wondering if you can do a video on adjusting the rise for these? Newbie and rise adjustment is so confusing. Thanks for all your hard work

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you so much! Yes, I’ll add that to my list!

[@deborahwalton9689]

I love these. I would like a bunch to throw on to just lounge around the house and wear under my dresses. I think I would struggle a bit with the gusset. What kind of elastic did you use so that it doesn't bother and rub against your body?? Thank you for the tutorial.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

The exposed elastic is made for waistbands and has a smooth feel to it. I search exposed 1.5 inch elastic when I’m searching for new stuff. Joann Fabric carries it in store, also.

[@justjo5379]

Oh could you do a pair with non slip stretch added please around the bottom of the legs. These look fantastic well done xx

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Great idea!

[@bitsnharry]

Do you have any suggestions for gusset fabric that would combine the stretch factor and absorbency? That would be so helpful- very nice video, thank you! ❤ 😊

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

[@jeanlong6417]

How fun! I’d like to try these & your instructions for the gusset are clear. What cover up are you wearing please… such a cute set.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Hi! Thanks for watching and the kind review. The cover up was a ready-to-wear item, but you could use the Cardigan Love pattern or the Cascading Jacket pattern with length added to achieve it! www.ellieandmac.com/products/the-established-cascading-jacket-pattern

[@jeanlong6417]

Thanks. I thought maybe it was the Cascading one.

[@Sandstreams11]

Just made my first pair and love them!! I made the short cut and they do ride up a little as I'm wearing them. Should I make the leg / thigh bigger or smaller to keep that from happening?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I have some suggestions but I think it would be good to see a photo, if possible. Can you email me at [e-mail]? Did you measure your thigh and grade according to the chart?

[@sewingwithsara]

Ahh I’m buying them right now and will sew them up this afternoon can’t wait. Love all of your videos . The am I doing this wrong part is me every 5 seconds of me sewing something up lol 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I’m so glad you’re excited about them and enjoy the videos! 🩷

[@barbwickland6066]

Once again watching the tutorial makes me want to get the pattern. My only hesitation is that it looks like it is a more expensive knit...but I think I'll bite the bullet and buy it. LOL! Thank you!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I hope you enjoy it and they turn out so cute!

[@MiddleEastMilli]

Yes! What cover up are you wearing??? It looks so comfy!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks! It’s store bought but you could use the Cardigan Love pattern or the Cascading Jacket pattern with length added to achieve it! www.ellieandmac.com/products/the-established-cascading-jacket-pattern

[@jbartrug574]

What type material did you use? I can’t wait to try them.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Hi! The fabric in the cover photo is Nylon Spandex Tricot from Surge Fabrics. They have designer deadstock fabrics, and I have used several of the prints for various things like athletic tanks, shorts, tops/dresses, and swimsuits! It is very versatile, which I love. You can get it here - surgefabricshop.com/search?q=deadstock&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&sca_ref=5572393.KC8nhMiSIX - aff link. The fabric I used for my cami and short set during the video was double brushed poly.

[@Luxxen101]

@@Keturah53 Yup, I was thinking the same thing .

[@vickyls8132]

These look great. I wondering about the wide elastic. Do you think I could make a casing for it? Would that make it slide?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

If you made a casing, you would want to add height to the top of the shorts so you can create that. If the elastic is sewn in a loop that is less wide than your waist, it should stay up.

[@basilscheuring9152]

Could you make these with quilters cotton? I have a ton of it left over and would like to make undies with them!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Great question. I think you would need to use stretch fabrics to make under garments because they need to stretch around your body and allow movement. Quilters cotton has 0 stretch and is a bit structured. I hope this helps.

[@kathysmigen3927]

So excited to make these up! It’s so hard for a petite woman to find something like this that fits correctly. Can I use a coverstitch instead of a serger for the seams?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I do think you could use a coverstitch if you are used to sewing seams with it! Have fun!

[@samantha9211]

going to make these for pole fitness, but might use a yoga style waist band instead of the electric

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

That’s a fabulous idea! Hope you enjoy them!

[@traderjosie100]

re your jacket is this a quilted knit What type of fabric is this Thx Diana I really enjoy your videos

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

That was faux leather. Thank you so much!

[@sallyoakes7709]

what stitch should we use if we don't have a serger? I usually zigzag,but I don't think it would come out smooth enough for a seam on an undergarment

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I would suggest a wide stretch stitch if you have that option on your sewing machine.

[@suzannefilio]

I want to purchase the pattern but as you mentioned on your video that there are two options, High-rise and Mid-rise but on your pattern its only Low-rise and Mid-rise. Please advise. Thanks

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I'm sorry for the confusion. The rises included are mid and high-rise.

[@suzannefilio]

@@EllieandMacPatternsLLC Thank you for clarifying

[@HSERA-z6p]

Ooooh bet I can make these with period panty lining layers! Then I would have a 2-fer and be comfortable bloated and not chafed in my moo moo 😂 (i dont wear moo moos but I may start!)

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Yes. You may need to make the gusset a bit wider, but you can do that and then just reduce the leg width at the crotch curve the amount you widened the gusset. 🩷

[@HSERA-z6p]

I may try to make them! I haven’t attempted period undergarments yet but i think this would be a great hack! I wouldnt have thought to widen the gusset, Thanks!

[@jbartrug574]

Remember if you add length you need to add length to the gusset too.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Yes..

[@jbartrug574]

But I absolutely love this pattern. I have made 3 and cut more out tonight. I wear them to walk in and some to sleep in. They are sooo comfy. Love them. Thanks for the video especially the gusset part.

[@helenwood3199]

Your bracelet hitting the table is so annoying 😢.

[@angela_eric]

I understand what you mean. However, a better way to say this is to mention something about the video you enjoyed first, then give a comment about how the bracelet knocking on the table is distracting, then say thank you for the video. Doing a comment this way helps people learn while not being abrasive. Creators can get thousands of comments and it's rough comments like yours that make them not want to create anymore because they don't feel appreciated. I hope everyone has a God day.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thanks for letting me know. I’m sorry it bothered you.
