I like it. It is so beautiful.

[@rustyhowe3907]

You're a wonderful teacher!

[@judymarkel8029]

Your little girl must be the best dressed kid in town❤. I love your sewing techniques. Thank you for sharing

[@nobodyaskedforthis.359]

No background music, explained in detail, understandable in all the ways, slow but not too slow and no alternate agenda... I've literally been searching for your channel for months Thank you for being real and legit :)

[@KSMP]

I'm totally jealous of your cute fabrics!!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

He he :) by sewing clothes for Artemis I make all my childhood dreams come true, :D

[@CraftyRie]

I can never do 'leg in leg' as I always overthink it & doubt myself and end up sewing them the wrong way! Love seeing your 3 methods all in the 1 video. thanks!

[@shanaazmohammed7713]

Your pants looks store bought ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vivenna]

Nice to have an overview like this with all application benefits mentioned! :) I always use the second method since it’s the only one that allows for all the options I might want. Top stitching the crotch and inner leg seams adds a lot of stability and longevity, so method 2 has a lot of benefits in that regard. And honestly it’s easier for me to just stick with one method, easier to remember as I never batch sew

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Very true about topstitching, crotch is the area that gets a lot of stress during wear

[@georgielewis4180]

You are a lovely teacher! Thank you!

[@Casey-ql5xg]

What an awesome video! Thanks so much for the consideration details and reasons for doing some things.

[@katwitanruna]

Love love love the fabrics you used for this project!

[@PattyJo188]

Thank you for sharing ! You are so sweet & kind. I use both 1 & 2. Your videos are so easy to fallow.

[@shanaazmohammed7713]

I LOVE how you did the front pockets, I did them for my daughter's pants a couple of yrs ago and last week I did them in a pair.of pants for me, I LOVE THOSE POCKETS❤️❤️

[@InAgatasCottage]

Great video I use methods 1 and 2 often

[@mamasprintable2418]

Method #1 is the most easest to sew, and love the tip to sew them flat first 👍

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I think the same :) thank you!

[@deltajohnson1525]

LOVE the foil splash!!!

[@gsparks8444]

Great video! Very helpful! Thank you!!!

[@ZeldaSews]

You are amazing. Let your video play while I was going to sleep last night hoping that some of what you were teaching would sink into my brain!😅

[@LindaH69]

You are such a good teacher. I really enjoy your videos.

[@victoriahannah1633]

I like doing #1 . It’s so very easy & then I like waist band flat in front & elastic in back. Such cute fabric for your little girl.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Thank you so much! Fabrics are cute, aren't they? :) I was sewing ahead for fall/winter and wanted to take this opportunity to show different methods :)

[@jalieeen]

I love that you always make directions easy to understand. 😊

[@rustyhowe3907]

THANK YOU!!! I'm just starting on sewing and your videos are absolutely wonderful for me who has no clue what I'm doing. Please take a like and subscribe, you're a champion!🥰🏆

Thank you, this is greatly helpful information! Very clear, concise, and well explained.

[@kimmclean8679]

Thank you this was so helpful

[@lovly2cu725]

I HAVE SOME PANTS CUT OUT. IM GOING TO TRY #1

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I hope you will like it! I use this method a lot, and once you get the hang of it - it goes so smooth and fast!

[@Treesa928]

This video will save me on my next project. I am so grateful for your content!

[@echognomecal6742]

I enjoy listening to this woman.

[@leshabenn3368]

Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge. Very helpful!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Joy-eq6qg]

Will try this on pants for 3 year old granddaughter. Thanks for such useful video😊

[@TheGardenKitten]

Thank you ❤

[@ba-12-]

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ❤

[@semsimama2191]

Since I'm new at sewing i would love to see a how-to from start to finish.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Open the description of this video and you will see step-by-step videos.

[@annescanapico7168]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@jacquelinewalker6357]

Thanks, it took me a couple of days to get each method - now I know how to sew, so I found out I must have a brain situation. to not get things right away, but patients is necessary and practice as you say works.thanks

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

You're doing great! It does take a bit to work up that muscle memory, but once you get it - you get it :) you're on the right path :)

[@zahradiab1161]

👏👏😍thanks dear for sharing

[@katwitanruna]

I’ve used the hem it when there is only one side seam done in many many many garments.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Yep, makes it for an easy and effortless hem. The only trouble - harder to undo it if you want to let out a hem later, after a year, for example (for a growing child), but in my case there is just about 1/2" of hem anyway, so I never had to let it out :) glad we are on the same sewing wave :)

[@persiagil1488]

Oh my God, thank you soooo much!!!

[@Simplesavemoney]

You did a great job

[@guii5230]

You’re awesome. Thanks

[@margaretbeard6564]

So cute!

[@Rara-pr9wg]

Thanks so much for this❤

[@kimberlyhashagen5621]

In the first version you say you use this one for back or side zips. When sewing side or back do you just mark where your zipper will go and use basting stitch for that portion. Thank you so much for your channel.

[@ummifaathima1998]

Very easy

[@jessicacamp1990]

I ❤ this 🎉

[@jenicemarroquin2842]

Thank u

[@Jackmaster03]

Thank you so much! This is my first time using a pattern and or doing clothes in general and your tips are lifesaving! You make things look so easy! How do you sew pockets?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there, I am glad this is helpful. To see how to sew pockets - just open the description of this video and you will see a link to a full video :)

[@MsKittycatmeow86]

I could be wrong I’m a visual learner, but with this, I would have to touch the fabric and look around I’m usually really good at this, but with this I got confused. 😊

[@Bashara-Dent]

I always do method #1, but never thought to sew the hem flat before doing the inner seam!

[@estelanunezchannel]

hello they're so pretty i have trouble finding material that is not see though, i wonder where you purchased that material, the colors are amazing as welll they turn out really pretty ❤

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I got these at Surge fabric shop (online). This is French Terry. When I look for fabric for pants online I read the description and the weight of the fabric. That helps with determining how light or see through is going to be the fabric.

[@estelanunezchannel]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you i will look 💕

[@hadeerahmed2549]

Could you please make a tutorial for these pants patterns 🙋‍♀️

[@cturner9356]

Hi Alisa! Do you mind sharing where you bought those beautiful fabrics? Thank you for all your hard work, you rock!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Absolutely! Fabric shop name is Surge Fabrics (it is online) and they have a great selection of different knits, a bit pricey for me, but I bought it some time ago when they had a big sale! This is French Terry :)

[@sleepycat8887]

Really liked the first method, looked so simple and efficient. I haven’t made anything yet 😅. How would you go about using a pair of trousers as a pattern? 😊

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there :) I have a video on the channel how to copy your pants and turn them into a pattern :)

[@cd5891]

❤

[@jeanjoseph7905]

The 2nd method is the easiest and fastest method.

[@juneskeete4975]

Hi 👋🏿 I am new to sewing, love the video....wanted to know what type of fabrics are you using. Where can I get them thanks😊

[@ninjamagic5150]

Asking what is the bottom cuff material. Made of or what does it come in or called. Any help would be appreciated 🙏 thanks. How did you do the elastic waist band. Maybe need to do another video and the pocket cuts. Otherwise great build. 👍

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Open the description of this video - all tutorials you are asking about are already there.

[@dashiajames1882]

That leg & leg technique is always hard for me..!! I literally get so frustrated.

[@cathleennitzborn230]

Kindly show how you cut the pants as well please,thanks

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Cathleen, hello there - I have numerous videos about drafting and cutting pants on my channel :)

[@angellashibrova1592]

🥰👍

[@MsKittycatmeow86]

The part of your video of you doing the pants leg confused me a little because u said to bring the fabric print to the outside but clearly when the video cut back the print is on the inside so you can sew the crotch and leg together I was like wait what what is going on lol

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there, not sure which method you're referring to, but I find that for people, especially with first method, it helps if you do tiny pants (Barbie size) and try it out, once you get used to how it works, turning one leg out and leaving the other one as is and then putting one inside the other - it is all very easy :) doing small samples helps with practice happy sewing!

[@mrgarner4796]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Great idea. Thanks. This really good for me. I am a hearing, seeing and doing kind-a gal so the small size is such a great idea. I can put them in my garment stash box with a little note on each example as a reminder. (I am trying to work through my garment stash...I want to use what I have on hand.)

[@MsKittycatmeow86]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank u for replying back to me I’ll try a smaller sample size while trying the first method great idea

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

@@MsKittycatmeow86 you got this and you can do it! :)

[@jeanene72]

Thank you, except you didn't use a zipper or button fly in that second technique, which you said it was for.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Jeanene, I said - I like to use this method when I have a zipper or a button fly, and in that case you would construct the front crotch according to the zipper/button fly instructions and the rest of the steps are exactly same as in the video. If you need to know how to sew a Zipper fly, video is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_Fo3qMf8t7kLs

[@jeanene72]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity I don't need to know how to make a zipper fly, but it would be helpful to see you sew the center front seam with a zipper fly. I always put the zipper in first, and sometimes sewing that remaining seam is tricky, so I would have loved to see that done properly, your way.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

@@jeanene72 I show how to sew the remaining seam in the tutorial link I gave you.

[@persiagil1488]

Hi, I hope you will upload a video on how to measure the size.of the crotch. Thank you.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there, I already have tutorials on this topic :)

[@nondanelson9553]

Do you currently have a video on how you assemble the pockets on these pants?

[@nondanelson9553]

I found it😊. I can't seem to locate your video on how to construct the pattern for this style of pant. Can you help me?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Nonda, hello there- closed would be a bigger a jogger pant. In the KZbin search bar just type in - "how to draft jogger pants thoughtful creativity" and you should be able to find it".

[@nondanelson9553]

Thank you so very much💖🌼

[@bilqeeshussain5723]

Sewing is the later stage, proper cutting of the pants needs guidance.

[@samreenahmed7572]

[@drejoicepr]

Hi. Do you know any organization like Dress for a Girl around the word that is looking for people who sew pants for boys? Right now I am making dresses using your pattern for Girls around the world; but I would also like to have something for boys. Hope you know some. Thanks!!!!
