Hi! I did add pockets to both sides, which is why my placket is in the back, but you can put it wherever you like :)

It's still 8, just keep seam allowance in mind.

I mostly copied clothing from my wardrobe to make this, but looking for vintage men's sportswear patterns might give you what you need. The cargo-pants pattern I modified is gone from Burda, but any high waist cargo pattern could be modified to look similar. The gloves were made using the video in the description. Hope this helps :)

If only I'd put some points in interfacing instead I might have been able to fix my sewing machine...

@@NoMoreSilkTwist I've been there. Needless to say, I sure learned quickly how to take one apart 😌

It's called iron on vinyl :)

The points you are connecting are between the top of the panels, you don't know how wide the hem is. If you think of the panels as triangles, then you flip one triangle and lay it next to the other to form a square. This is a tricky pattern to understand if you've not done something similar before. I would suggest to draw it out on a small sheet of paper just to visualize how to lay it out. The width of the hem in the end depends on the width of your fabric and your size, at the very end of the video I show a few skirts I've made and the difference between them.

@@NoMoreSilkTwist Thank you for answering! Oh okay, so when drawn out I should be able to lay them with the waist touching the hem on another panel, and the square should be equal in width on both sides? Do I draft each panel by itself, och can i I draft them the same way you do for a circle skirt? I'm sorry for all the questions 😅 I'll try to draw a scaled down pattern and see if I get it.

@AegaTheCat yes to the first part, this way of laying out the pattern is meant to minimize fabric waste. For a circle skirt you will need more than my 6 panels, but it can be done the same way yes :)

@@NoMoreSilkTwist I took a look at your other video for the same kind of dress and think I get it now 😀 but another question, of I want to make the waist a bit higher and add a v-shaped yoke, can I just take my measurements for where I want the new waist to be, add that to the pattern, then add the shape of the yoke, cut of the excess (in the front) and make the yoke instead of the waistband? If you get what I mean. English isn't my first language, it's Swedish 😅 so I hope I use the correct terms.

You can choose exactly where you want the waist of the skirt to be, but this pattern will always flare out from this point. Let's say you place the "waist" at the chest, then you'll end up with something looking like a Viking over-dress. (Just as an example) If you want a wider waistband you should probably change the pattern, it should be curved to follow the curve of the body. If you're not afraid of wasting fabric you could always try and see if it works or if it looks bulky. If you don't have a different waistband pattern on hand you can try to drape it, but the easiest would be to copy the top part of a fitted pair of jeans or a skirt. I hope this helps, I'm not the best at explaining and English isn't my first language either ;)

Thank you, I did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrbqp-Ljpl-ipY

Since you stitch what is basically triangles together, the waist will not end up completely straight, it will be curved, but with hard angles between the panels. Once you've stitched them together the easiest is to lay it flat and even the waist. If your seams match you won't need to do much. I don't think I bothered to do this as it wasn't necessary. This is one of the things that are way easier to understand once you have it in front of you. If you want to be certain you understand the pattern, you can cut out a miniature in paper first and tape it together. Hope this helps!

@@NoMoreSilkTwist Ah! Thank you so much, that makes sense!

It's a felted wool.

It's a sewing gauge or seam-O-metre :)

I talk more about the pattern in the breeches video, and I believe someone suggested better pattern makers there as well. Generally this brand is not recommended for beginners, their patterns are historically sourced, but you need to know how to make it yourself, meaning: no instructions. I will hopefully not use a pattern from them again. I didn't like it.

@@NoMoreSilkTwist thank you, I will check it out!

No facing was used

No. To get rid of that I either need more channels or a sturdier fabric. It's difficult to use silk satin in a corset, and this pattern has minimal boning as it is. It could also be that the tention between silk and interfacing is wrong, if they are not basted together correctly.
