Actually, I should call them Pilates shorts and pants, since that's my exercise of choice. Either way, in cotton/lycra jersey or rib knit (the gray), they're super comfy and very quick to make. That's why I made several pairs of shorts, which is more than strictly necessary.
I employed the smooth waistband technique I mentioned before. I find the wide, firm elastic cut to the exact measurement of the waist at that point to be more comfortable than thinner elastic cut with negative ease.I cut the shorts pattern from the pants pattern, but flared the leg hems just a little.
The fit is slim (hence the use of lycra) and there is a very slight bootleg cut.
I love these - the fit is closer to what I wanted than what I got from the BurdaStyle download Corinne Yoga Pants.Sources:

Great work, and saved yourself a bundle!
I admire people who can 'mass-produce'. I don't think I have the attention span. Great workout clothes.
Great job making multiple pairs like this. I always enjoy having more than just one of something I love to wear, but often don't make more than one. You are an inspiration :)
