SEWING A MUSLIN FOR BUTTERICK 6137

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Hey everybody! I added more info to the description, so be sure to check that out for the book links I mentioned, and the adjustments that I've decided I will do to these pants. I will show the pattern pieces in the next video so you can see what I did. Thank you all for watching! Hope it's helpful! Blessings

[@flower-uw1hm]

What do you use for sheets?

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Lol. I use the fitted sheet and a comforter. I don’t like the loose flat sheets.

[@vivmomsews4962]

You are such a great help, Brittany. Thanks for showing us the process. I know I sound like a broken record, but I’m so grateful for your instruction and I love recommending your channel to inquiries from beginning sewers.👍

[@StayStitching]

Brittany, it's always nice to see your lovely smile! Thank you for walking us through your fitting process, it's tremendously helpful.

[@LesaLegit]

This was soooooo helpful. I love seeing the whole process. This really shows the trial and error of sewing, which inspires me and gives me hope. A lot of time you just see KZbinrs sewing and then modeling the outfit. You have truly given us a behind-the-scenes look at the process from start to finish. I love your new format of doing sew alongs. When I got the first video at the beginning of the week, I could hardly wait for Friday to come around. I find myself waiting with anticipation to the watch the next step in the process..

[@jaime1251]

Call me crazy but I like that sheet as pants. Thanks for the video. Will you give us a sewing room tour, please?

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

Brittany great video! I love following along on your channel you are so excited about sewing and bring such a great empowering spirit to the community! BTW welcome to California. I "watched" your move out west and had hoped you were coming a little farther north - I'm in north SF Bay area. Enjoy the beautiful summer you are about to experience in SD!

[@moniquewatson8985]

Thank you! Seeing the actual muslin on while you show and talk about the fitting issues was on point. I'm a visual person(especially when it comesl to sewing) so this helped me out a lot. Please continue to point out/reference any info/illustration from any of the books u use. Looking forward to the next video.

[@dorothyscales8634]

Omg Brittany I hope you do more if these because I have so many problems with fitting. I need to sometimes see things in real time to get a total understanding. It's so helpful to see someone work out fit issues. I would also love if you could show more of the prep process like bust adjustments and fitting in general. I know it's a process but I'm just having a hard time with so many fails. Thanks so much for sharing and teaching!

[@brittanyjjonestv]

dorothy scales hey Dorothy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! I will do my best to add more fittings into the videos! I know how helpful it can be to see someone work through issues! Thank you so much for watching!

[@k3of5ks]

Another great and helpful video. Pants can be scary. We’re all learning together and it’s great to see real people making pants for real bodies. Great job! 💕

[@Ms.Charlene1102]

Love the idea of using sheets

[@angelahart2776]

Very helpful Brittany

[@barbararodriguez5685]

Thanks Ms. Britney, this video was very helpful . I have tried making pants before and was not very successful at it. But now watching your video series I am going to give sewing pants another try. Thanks again 😀

[@gwenstyles9025]

Thank you Brittany!

[@mollywinglalone3173]

Thank you for walking through the muslin process. It is hard for me to translate what I see on my body compared to the diagrams in fitting books. Hearing you talk about the wrinkles and the solutions is so helpful.

[@deannamccambridge3446]

Thank you so much Brittany! Fitting is my biggest issue, I can't wait to check out the books you recommended.

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Deanna McCambridge you’re welcome! Yes those are really good books!!

[@kellycook6428]

Definitely a thumbs up video!!! Thank you for taking the time to show how you fit the pattern and your reference books that you used. A lot of sew alongs assume that beginners understand the fit process. and skip that infomation.

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Kelly Cook hey Kelly! You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching!!

[@SewAnother]

Hello Brittany. I made my first pants recently but was not confident in the fit. I know I need help as I thought your first try-on look was great! So thank you so much for pointing out the finer details after that and showing what adjustments were required for a better fit.

[@deep.2082]

Great tips! Looking forward to the next sew along.

[@katesterling8915]

Another excellent tutorial. I learnt so much from the muslin changes. Thank you. Hope you are now settled I to your new home and getting back to a 'normal' routine. ☆

[@mbiggart7924]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@myralorraine]

Great tutorial Brittany! Referencing books is always helpful and can save you so much grief too! I do love the fit of those pants on you too!

[@susanwingblade1799]

Love this video. Really good information and the books look great!!! Thank you so much!

[@brittanyjjonestv]

susan wingblade awesome glad you enjoyed it!!! Thanks for watching!

[@GNeuble]

Thanks Brittany for sharing and encouraging us to step out of our comfort zone and make pants. You make this all seem sew easy LOL. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and give it a try (great tip on the flat sheet for muslin. Never thought of that.)

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Gretchen Neuble hey Gretchen! Yes step out of your comfort zone! You can totally do it! Thank you for watching the video!

[@ednasantiago1159]

Hi Brittany I truly thank for taking the time to answer my question and doing this video. This is beyond helpful. I’m an intermediate beginner but I get so bummed out when I take the time to make something I really want to wear in it doesn’t fit. These type of videos are very helpful. I’m ordering the books now :) Thank you so much 😊

[@sherrydarling8174]

Oh my goodness, I just found your channel, and total love you & the family!!! I haven't gotten the pattern yet, but will be doing this sew along...

[@brittanyjjonestv]

sherry mcewin Yayy! Glad you found my channel! Welcome!! And yes, happy you’ll be doing the sew along!!

[@samv7487]

Thank you for posting such a great video Brittany. I'm still nervous about sewing and fitting issues are what really deter me. I'll try a pattern and it wont fit right and I'll just give up...these types of videos and the rest of your videos are very helpful and encouraging.

[@nicoladrew1554]

This is brilliant, I just bought this pattern, I’ve never made trousers, I’m Scottish pants are knickers here. Anyhoo, excited for your next vlog, and to see what you make them from. So happy 😁👏🌈

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Nicola Drew I love that they are called knickers!!! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@shawnyabrown1860]

Hey I enjoy watching your videos...I need to get a couple of those books you referenced I am sure you are doing the right thing but because your denim will be a different type of fabric I probably would of added 1/2 inch to 1 inch to the final cut

[@MsHighpeaks]

Great video. Thank you for great information

[@seagravesjackson625]

Hi Brittany, Thank you for the tutorials!I made pants a few weeks ago and love them!Also,if anyone is interested McCall's patterns are $1.99 at Joanne's.

[@christinacruden886]

Brittany, I live in Canada, can you please help me find someway of browsing through sewing patterns. Thank you. Also can I purchase from Joanne’s? Our patterns are $16.00 and up. Too much for me. 🇨🇦🌹

[@isasewstyle9914]

Great video thank you.

[@teresamorgan4529]

Hey, Brittany, I've just found you, here. Great video and I love your style. But, I'd love to see the finished pants. I also love the tee shirt you're wearing, or what I can see of it.

[@ginahayes6169]

Great video! 1 question, you didn't address the crotch depth issue? Was it to lie, how did you alter it, thanks

[@pj89-96]

Out of the three books which one would you over all recommend. I can only buy one at a time so I'd like to get the one with the most information first. Thank you so much for recommending them, I've never had a book but have sewn for 48 years being self taught after my papaw let me make Barbie doll clothes on my mamaws sewing machine. Lol. I learn something new everyday through KZbin videos tho. It's opened up a whole new world for me! 😊 Blessings to you and your family

[@lorrainebradshaw970]

Maybe if you go to your public library maybe they would have them. Then you could see which one you like. The Fit for Real People is a palmer and pletsch book and if you look them up in youtube you can see some of their fitting techniques.

[@pj89-96]

@@lorrainebradshaw970 thank you so much.. I'm new to all of this KZbin stuff but I'll sure try it. Again thank you so very very much!!

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Oh wow! 48 years self-taught! I’m sure I could learn a lot from you❤️ Out of the three, I’d Perfect Fitting for the most information. I do agree with Lorraine that a lot of Pati Palmer teaching from her book is available here on KZbin.

[@lorrainebradshaw970]

Peggy Johnson you are welcome. I am still learning. 😊

[@pj89-96]

@@brittanyjjonestv I'd say we could have some good conversations. Lol. I used to make about everything I wore for church and alot of school uniforms and prom dresses so I learned a lot the hard way, I look back and think I didn't have a clue as what I was doing when I see all this different stuff on KZbin. Lol. Thank you so much, I don't go out except once every three months to the Dr so since I have been introduced to KZbin by my sister it's been an experience having information about anything at your finger tips. I'm still new to this but I will definitely try to find the channel. Thank you so much. I really do learn from you and enjoy your channel. Blessings to you and yours

[@MoreISeeDesigns]

Can I use gauze fabric for this pattern? This is my very first sewing pattern ever and I So nervous

[@TheChefSteph]

What size flat sheets are best for muslin?

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Umm, I guess any size would work. I use twins from my children sheet sets and queen from mine. You can use whichever size you have available.

[@Oceanpurples]

Ok you sewing the 3/8 is that how it measured out to 51 and a half I'm kind of lost right there since you had already cut the pattern out a little smaller than that. I know you said get the book Brittany trust me girl imma get it because I was a little lost on that one

[@brittanyjjonestv]

Infinite Chambers hey sorry for the confusion. So what I’m going to do is add some tissue paper behind my pattern to increase it. I will measure the distance between all of the sizes on the pattern (at all sides- side seam, inseam, hem, crotch) and use that distance to add for the additional size. So if it’s 5/8 between the 18-20-22 on the side seams, I will add 5/8 to the side seam to increase the pattern to a 24. I will do that for all seams. Working in small sections though, because it may not be 5/8 down the entire side seam. I will alter my pattern and show/explain what I did in the next video. I hope that explanation helped you though.❤️

[@Oceanpurples]

@@brittanyjjonestv perfect thanks girl

[@kerryofarrell5028]

Great youtube !!

[@louhoggard4508]

I never thought about the sheet idea. Now aren't you smart.! I can pick those up for a buck or two at Salvation Army.
