I have been trying to find this exact pattern style... I need this in my life.

[@saspurillie]

About the iron, you should use distilled or at the very least filtered water as that white stuff is mineral deposits so if your water is hard (full of minerals) this will happen over time.

[@spicybeantofu]

Yes I was always told to only use distilled

[@isaibanez]

Oh no, Ariel! You're giving me ideas for period blanket pants that I didn't know I wanted!!! With a front pouch for my hot water bottle!

[@FranciscaPires]

this looks ultra warm and cozy 😍 also ultra prone to static electricity 😬⚡

[@soumkat3809]

Une belle française qui parle un parfait anglais et a des mains en or!! Bravo pour votre chaîne !!

[@FayinKay]

lmao such perfect timing! My family just accidentally bought too much of these cheap fluffy blankets fabric (not ikea) and I was thinking of what I could do with them.

[@HazarielAtelier]

Only two options: Winter clothes or blanket fort

[@kristinafabianova7139]

And I just used the rest of the "pilou" as lining to kids mittens I made on Sentro mini...

[@ReneeAnduagaArias]

It almost looks like a Star Wars costume and I LOVE it!!

[@gadgetgirl02]

I was just looking at a pattern for that style of pants earlier this week, thinking of them as a summer pattern, but now that I see the winter version, I want to make both! it is completely brilliant that you were able to start with a bunch of IKEA blankets and wind up making something so pulled-together and elegant-looking. The front and collar of the top is genius, as is using the wrap style pants to get extra layers.

[@irishaorlova7413]

Well, here in Australia summer refuses to come, so I think your ideas are very timely;)

[@alaskacosplay]

Ive bought fabrics and curtains and beddings from ikea and I made them into easy staple pieces and comfy clothes, like elastic waist pants and skirts, and the throw blankets are amazing for making scarves and capes. Making clothes out of IKEA textiles in general should be done more since they make some amazing prints and they look amazing as clothes

[@shannylester7656]

Hello Ariel!! I’m so glad I found your channel! You are highly entertaining and helpful! I recently retired as a seamstress and designer for others and am so happy to be able to make what I want! I’m off to cosplay with the little people in my life. I’m moving from Florida back home to Pennsylvania today!! I need to make the warm cozy things again. This is perfect and beautiful! I’ve saved my old flannel and wool for a coat. Thank you for sharing your makes and expertise! ❤🥰

[@HazarielAtelier]

Thank you so much for this nice comment!

[@robinmoore1969]

I want to make these pants. I forgot I wanted to make these pants. They look so much better than the wrap pants I’ve seen.

[@abbyroy8430]

I think I would just add an easy topstitched oversized pocket on the side of the top! That’s all it was missing for me 😄 My PJ’s that don’t have pockets drive me crazy because I always forget my phone when I walk around!! I have them all set aside with the plan to spend a rainy day putting pockets in them (à la Morgan Donner) but I just haven’t yet 😅

[@stigyanblue1442]

I used a couple cheap blankets to make a full length poncho! It's good to walk around the house, and I drape it over my top blanket as extra warmth. Yay, dual purpose items!

[@dawsie]

Love the cozy outfit, we are heading into summer now won’t see winter until The end of April/may so I’m looking at making outfits to suit the Aussie Outback heat waves we get during the long summers, already the days are getting hot and humid due to all the rain we have been getting. The draw back of some irons are the use of plastic to make them, when they start to crumble it can get into the water section and then through the holes, I had this happen with a cheap iron since then I bought a more expensive iron made mostly of stainless steel and aluminium this one is now over 15 years old and still going strong

[@HazarielAtelier]

My issue exactly with this poor old iron 😅 Thank you and have a good time in Australia 💚

[@chickadeeacres3864]

To avoid that calcium and lime build up in your new iron, use distilled water. If you have a dehumidifier, the bucket that collects water is very close to distilled.

[@Tomoitochan]

Look at those pants! I need to find the pattern on your videos, is looks so comfortable. It looks like I could use and adjust even if I gain or loose a little weight ❤

[@amberlynnleavitt9034]

Those pants look lovely and I'm off to go cut up an old blanket and make a pair! Thanks for posting such a cozy idea 💖

[@HazarielAtelier]

You’re welcome 😊♥️

[@cheryllwaldrop9732]

Where can we get the pattern?

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

​@Cheryll Waldrop my question as well

[@chiaandsue]

I was wondering the same !

[@sandiemable]

You hate being cold, and I HATE being hot. The outfit is too stinking cute! I love your videos; you crack me up every time! It's fascinating how you can whip up an outfit...blows my little mind. Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie😍

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

So much cozy! 😍 I just had to replace my approximately 40 year old iron. Hopefully our new tools will last as long as the recently deceased ones did

[@HazarielAtelier]

It might not. Sadly the quality of equipment nowdays is very poor compared to the old stuff. I'm still mourning my old sewing machine 😥 (I need to repair it)

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

@@HazarielAtelier so true 😢

[@m.maclellan7147]

@@HazarielAtelier there are many sewing machine repair videos on KZbin! I belong to a FB page about antique sewing machines (anything before 1970!) According to what others have said on that page, almost all repairs on these old machines are achievable by anyone ! As far as your iron - you may have "hard" water - that's lots of minerals ! That is causing the white stuff ! Check your new iron's instructions- some companies design them to use only tap water, or they MAY recommend Distilled water instead of tap. Here in the USA, you can get distilled water at a pharmacy.

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

@@m.maclellan7147 , You can get distilled water at most any grocery store, as well as, Target. 💖🙌😺

[@KelseyDrummer]

I want to make secret pants with a blanket. Purely for the cozy factor!

[@HazarielAtelier]

Good idea 😍

[@karinbperrott747]

I used an old cotton blanket with a waffle weave texture to make a robe. It is incredibly comfortable.

[@Mystic_Light]

Very nice style! Looks unbelievably comfy.

[@retrocraftdreams]

I've been wanting to start making clothes for so long, and this is exactly the kind of stuff I want to make! Roomy, cozy house clothes!

[@DustyCrow6]

This is very much a sky children of the light outfit❤

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

This is so much more fashion forward than my idea to make a hooded robe out of fleece blanket. 🤔 Gonna have to up my game!😻

[@saucv]

I love it! You should do more things like this. You’re to cool 😎

[@kaelynharris1895]

😍 so cozy!! Pants patterning gives me trouble but such a cozy result would be worth it

[@HazarielAtelier]

It is very easy to make!

[@happytofu5]

I recommend the 10 minute boxer pattern. Its free, very easy to make and you can make the legs longer for full pants: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqnIeIlueaumqNE

[@themurrrr]

I never imagined I would one day become covetous…… of an iron…… I WANTS IT SO MUCH!!!!! Also, pilou has now entered my vocabulary

[@Bane_Amesta]

OMG I have a very similar pair of pants, and I'm definitely using them as a pattern! In my case I want to make a split skirt kind of thing, but I was feeling a bit afraid of cutting the fabric (it's been a while and I don't have the means to buy more for now) Guess who gave me back the motivation to finish that proyect ✨

[@HazarielAtelier]

This is so cool!

[@struzzzle]

I know them as Japanese fisherman pants - I have been looking for a good pattern =]

[@SuzanneWho]

Maricella: I feel the same way, nervous about ruining fabric. I have some old sheets I picked up at a thrift store that I use for experimental samples. You can make lots of adjustments as you go then pull the seams apart and use as a pattern. Or use those pieces to make a permanent pattern on cardboard. I love this outfit!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

So clever! I'm glad someone is showing folks how to be comfy!

[@felinetherapy4782]

Super cozy and cute! Would love to see a blanket coat as well!

[@HazarielAtelier]

I made one actualy! But it was before the youtube thing 😅

[@pollypocket2282]

I get it… I feel the same way about my mop and bucket as you do with your iron! The right tool makes the job easy and pleasurable! BTW, I know, a mop… but it seriously is a life changer and my sister and mother both went and bought one after seeing mine! Loved the outfit!!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Watching while making a pair of cozy pants for my daughter from an old blanket.

[@helenwhite6443]

They look so soft and cozy. ❤

[@HazarielAtelier]

They are! I have no intention to step outside for the next months 🤶

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

What a brilliant idea!!! I will be rethinking lounge wear and my fabric stash!!!

[@CloverFoxCreations]

This look so comfy and cozy! I need to make some wrap pants.

[@Fnattihatt]

This video makes me soooo EXITED!!!! I'm planning to make cozy warm clothes to my family from cheap fluffy blankets! I have made the designs and I'm in the process of figuring out which patterns I will be using and how I will change them in order to be perfect. Thank you for making me feel less cheap and weird for making clothes out of blankets. 😂💖💖💖

[@HazarielAtelier]

Let's go gurl! 💛

[@kripar3117]

I make all of my daughter’s Halloween and Karneval (German Mardi Gras, sort of) costumes out of fleece blankets, they’re cheap, come in all colors and she is toasty warm in October and February in Germany, so she doesn’t have to wear a coat over her costume.

[@eggandchips4t]

Yep- glad to know that there are other 'cheap wierdos ' out there!! Aldo- this is a very cheap way to keep warm instead using expensive gas or electricity. SO glad that this popped up on my KZbin recommendations. Love from the UK xxx

[@sarahaufssri4529]

I need to make that sweater. But I already have so much stuff on my to sew list so it's probably gonna be a bit before it's done

[@ccoeurjoli]

Bonjour Ariel ! Oh la la !! Super confort !! Le sweater est un peu court (pour moi 😄) et le col est carrément splendide ! Cette jupe-culotte à la japonaise est originale 🤩 Encore une chouette vidéo ! Cette station vapeur doit te changer la vie 😂 !! Cool les patreons ! À bientôt !!! 🌸🌸🌸

[@UniquelyPenny]

Freaking love it. Can’t wait to get a sewing machine, will 100% make something like this!

[@HazarielAtelier]

Go for it! 💚

[@Lunareon]

They look incredibly cozy, especially the sweater. Super cute, too!

[@nicoletheknightowl7560]

the oozing white stuff is most likely hard water build up, which is mostly calcium. Use distilled water to avoid the build up!

[@ap6848]

Super simple Miss Ariel says as if Darts arn't one of sewing greatest mysteries lol. I really enjoy your content and these pajamas look so cozy!!! Tempted to make a set for myself.

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

I feel the same lol

[@ramonasmith257]

I think you got all the good from the old iron. ‘Love the new one!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

This was such a great idea on so many levels, reusing, repurposing, using clothes for patterns! Genius! Plus such a cosy result. 👍

[@mitzy183]

SO COZY i need a new PJ set for winter..... seems like they only last one season, cus i live in them :D this would be such a nice set ! u could even wear it out if u had to run to the store quickly

[@shiho15]

Hi Ariel! Loving your videos, and this one gave me the motivation to try and make a pair of shorts based on the pants you made. Thanks for the inspiration ✨

[@Georgi_al7]

aaaaaaaaaaaah I love it!! Such a genius idea and you make it seem so easy 🤯🤯🤯🤯 though the comfort must definitely be worth the challenge :)

[@Fraylar]

Very warm and simple to make. Great idea.

[@jayneterry8701]

Great repurposing ! You having fun in your new role. Sorry to hear about your iron but it gave you 29 years! Wow! 💟 the white stuff could ve calcium from your water. Vinegar is good for cleaning but always read your directions 😀for your new iron of hiw to clean and what kind of water it takes. 😘 Enjoy you comfy outfit! Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@minanusskuchen2292]

Great Video! The pants and the top look so comfortable, now I really want to make some myself. I guess it gets added to the endless list of Projects I want to do :D

[@HazarielAtelier]

"The List" 😱

[@minanusskuchen2292]

I actually made the pants, and they are as comfy as I imagined them. 🎉 They where not originally next on ' The List', but oh well. 😂

Congratulations on the Skillshare sponsorship!!!

[@cherylhuot4436]

Well done! Very clever and it looks great!

[@jeremydutton2132]

I believe that the white stuff is hard water deposit. Best to use distilled water in an iron

[@J_Gamble]

So entertaining and interesting as always! No lie but as the 'Rona waxed and waned, so has my interest in some youtubers (no shade) but I *always* look forward to yours and they never disappoint. :)

[@Blondie42]

That bottom piece looks like a modernized Japanese hakama. Perfect for a winner of the anime cosplay contest, and France's costuming samurai. 🎎🇨🇵

[@FrizziNova]

Nice idea. I love good IKEA hacks. I'm sticking to making comfy undergarnments from molton, tough, as they are not so bulky.

[@correzecyclingholidays6419]

Feeling very inspired. Thank you for your fabulousness!

[@skyffeltrafik]

Oh wow, this looks amazing! I have some fun ideas for what to be my first ever sewing project. But I would love to have the name of those types of pants!

[@melissashiels7838]

I'm definitely not eyeing up my worse-for-wear fleecy blanket and thinking I should make it into an 18th century petticoat to stay warm around the house after watching this video...

[@karenkneale2013]

I use demineralised water in my iron and empty it after I use it

[@noeraldinkabam]

I have the green/grey bedsheet? too. At least I think it’s the same. Mine is sturdy not soft. I wanna make a japanese pinafora apron with it. Just have to learnhow to use my machine first….

[@IonIsFalling7217]

[@amaeve1950]

The white stuff in the iron is calcium from the water (and is super gross and a pain). You can use distilled water to make the calcium build up less, but it's an inevitability that irons fail 😞

[@TealCheetah]

The white stuff is minerals from your water. Most places have hard tap water.

[@HazarielAtelier]

No, sadly it was plastic roasted shards

[@TealCheetah]

@@HazarielAtelier :O oh no!
