## Designer Notes {#notes}
|
|
|
|
I needed swim trunks, so I designed Shin.
|
|
There's not much more to it than that.

## What You Need {#needs}
|
|
|
|
To make Shin, you will need the following:
|
|
|
|
- Basic sewing supplies
|
|
- About 0.75 meters (0.8 yards) of a suitable fabric ([see Fabric
|
|
options](#fabric))
|
|
- two eyelets and a drawstring
|
|
|
|
:::note A serger/overlock is nice, but optional
|
|
|
|
As with all stretch fabrics, a serger/overlock will make your life easier.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have one of those, don't despair. You don't really need it. You
|
|
can use another technique for stretch seams, such as a zig-zag stitch, twin
|
|
needle, or elastic thread.

|
|
|
|
## Fabric Options {#fabric}
|
|
|
|
Swim trunks should be made out of a material with stretch that is suitable for
|
|
being in the water.
|
|
|
|
Typically, this falls apart in a few categories:
|
|
|
|
- Nylon mixed with elastane, spandex, or lycra is soft and stretchy. This is
|
|
what most casual swimwear is made from.
|
|
- Polyester mixed with PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is less soft to the
|
|
touch, but resistant to chlorine and salt water. This is what a lot of
|
|
competitive swimwear is made from.
|
|
- Neoprene, also known as scuba, is heavier and less stretchy. It's the stuff
|
|
scuba suits are made from.
|
|
|
|
## Cutting Instructions {#cutting}
|
|
|
|
- Cut **2 backs** with good sides together
|
|
- Cut **4 fronts** 2 x 2 with good sides together
|
|
- Cut **1 waistband**
|
|
|
|
:::warning Caveats
|
|
|
|
- To save paper, the waistband is not completely printed on the pattern since
|
|
it's just a long rectangle. So look for the length indicator, and cut out a
|
|
rectangle of that size.
|
|
- The hem allowance is double the standard seam allowance.
