Didn't you asked this before or am I imagining things :?

I think not many gay men know how to sew. U may need to try the women, they know it better. In internet era where everything is possible, if the result is good, u can sell them online!

It doesn't depend on your gender how well you can sew...

Funny thread. I would say just try. It was somewhere in the early sixties that I discovered a photo with boys in Bermuda swim shorts - board shorts -. I liked them very much, but it seemed impossible to buy them in The Netherlands in those days. So I decided to make my own ones. Never sewed -in that way- before, but everything has a first time. I did the sewing -and that will not surprise you- by hand. It is not difficult, just a lot of work. The difficult part is to create the model. Humans tend to be three dimensional and your design is two dimensional. Trial and error did the job. At the end I had my own, hand made, fantastic fitting yellow board shorts! The only, but major mistake I made was the material. The old curtain material had a bad resistance to water. So my beautiful creation died young. So sad.

I guess I should start by making a pattern.

Yep. Stand before the mirror. Strip until you are naked. Take the tape-measure in your hands and start measuring. You will find out that this is a very intimate action. Do not forget to note the figures readable on paper. And when the pattern does not suit you, just start doing over it again. I wish you a lot of fun and success Josh.

I can take measurements but how do I take an idea in my head to an actual pattern?

How about; you wrap your self with cling film, draw on the design (with where the seams will go) onto the film with a marker, the type you use to title a cd copy, unwrap the film gently and lay it out on sheet of paper on a work surface. Poke dots through the film into the paper with a needle to get an outline. Join the dots and you can see the sort of shape you will need.
