DIY Straight-Leg, High-Waisted Pants + Sewing Pattern by Dressmaking Amóre

Hi everyone! In this video I’m so excited to show you how to sew these elegant and classy pants :) This has been a ~very~ highly requested pattern + sewing tutorial, so I am so happy to present this to you today 🥰
I’m using my Darcy PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:
dressmakingamore.com/products...
Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 1.75-2.3 m (1.9-2.5 yds) of woven fabric
- Fusible interfacing for the waistband and pocket
- Fly zipper, 23 cm long, 9”
- One-sided zipper foot
- marking tool
- closure: button or eye&hook
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Darcy pattern
For these pants here I am using a tercel twill fabric. It’s quite lightweight while still having a heaviness to it that helps keep the right fit of the pants. However, I have made these pants with a Crepe fabric - and I prefer that a bit more because of how it looks after multiple washes.
Sewing tools used:
Double stick fusible tape: amzn.to/3znE3Dy
Glasshead pins: amzn.to/3lPwXiS
Scissors: amzn.to/3Gpk4FQ & amzn.to/3PGdkYm

These tutorials in themselves are a work of art: you're giving advice on fabrics, matching sewing terms with visual aides, etc. Everything that you make is stunning, but it's such a gift to show/teach others how to make it themselves. I'll definitely be buying your patterns. Thank you! ^^

[@minihappysewing]

I love how they turned out, so elegant!

Made my first pair of pants. Had my own sewing pattern but needed some guidance on each step of the process. Your video helped clarify how to do it. Thank you!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I jumped on KZbin to see if there were tutorials for the specific pattern I purchased because the written pattern instructions weren't clear. Your video while it isn't the exact one, was so perfect for me to understand the steps needed for dress pants. Thank you!

[@DressmakingAmore]

I am so so so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching the video, I'm glad to know it was helpful for your project 🥰

[@PoopHobbit]

You can do a straight stitch at the seamlines (or if you're very good - a 16th of an inch inside the seam allowance, alongside the seamlines) if you don't have access to a serger - as most people don't. Or just take care not to let your pattern pieces hang where they're cut on the bias/off the straight of grain

[@furioza5701]

The fitting is so elegant.

Thank you so much for this excellent video tutorial, it was very well shot and edited and I very much enjoyed watching a piece of fabric turn into this beautiful pleated trousers. I'm 5'3" (160cm) and have an hourglass figure. NOTHING in this world fits me without alteration. I pay twice for any clothing item I buy. Once when I purchase it and once when I take it for alteration. I've been thinking about sewing my own clothes lately, and I'm so glad I found your channel. I just subbed and turned on the bell notification. Could you please do a fitted blazer for hourglass figure in one of your future videos. Many thanks in advance. Cheers and keep up the excellent work.💖💖✨✨

I am afraid to also use a straight stitch but I am not quite sure how I should sew the pants just with my overlocker 😢 Please help me :(

Thank you for sharing, my sewing machine doesn’t have that special stitch for the edges of the fabric, is there an alternative stitch I can use to get the same results or do I need to get a new sewing machine?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Thank you for watching! You can use a serger imitation seam on a sewing machine, a narrow zig-zag, bias binding, or a french seam :)

[@mahdy9152]

hey ! I really like the aesthetic of these pants and I'll soon start this but I want to know is there's any tips or changes that I'd do to make them fit a man ? (ps:sorry for bad english im not a native speaker)

[@barosz123]

1. For men, the tradition is for the fly to be the other way round: it is always the left side that goes on top. 2. Depending on the body shape, you may want to consider the fabric carefully - tencel or viscose may be too flowy and produce a rather weird effect - you may want to opt for more classic suiting fabric with a gentle drape for the flow effect. 3. You'll probably need to adjust the waist suppression (difference between seat and waist measurements). Back darts will most likely end up smaller, but remember to always keep the proportions between the front and back parts - you want the side seam to stay in the same place on your body. 4. Optional, but men generally need more space in the front crotch area, and less in the seat, so some adjustments in those areas may be needed for a better fit.

[@mahdy9152]

What a great answer! I wouldn't even add anything 🥰

[@nadafituri5410]

How many hours does it take to make those pants?

[@daniiiiii6616]

Aside from tencel twill fabric, what other fabric can I use?

[@DressmakingAmore]

I recommend using a light-medium weight woven fabric from a natural fiber or blend. Some suggestions are Linen, Cotton, Crepe, Gabardine, Light-weight denim or Rayon. I hope this helps!

I have a question about the amount of fabric. In description it says 1.7-2.3m. Does that mean 1.7x2.3m or that the width and length are the same (1.7x1.7m - 2.3x2.3m) or is that just length? If that's the case, what is the width of the fabric required?

[@DressmakingAmore]

Hi! You'll need anywhere from 1.7-2.3 m of fabric depending on the size you choose to sew. The width of the fabric is 150 cm ❤️

[@tex1622]

Is it possible to alter these pants so that they are very low rise - like early 2000's lower than low, Britney + Christina low?

[@DressmakingAmore]

I would recommend making a mockup first, then draw a line at your desired low-rise height, and then make a new waistband according to the new waistline :) 💙

[@TheKaffeeBonbon]

I have some questions. The instructions (size 14) say I need a 23cm zipper and I have a 21cm zipper and it’s still way too large for the pattern. The fly template is only 19,8cm long and won’t cover the zipper like in your instructions. So I‘d have to sew over the zipper instead of around. I moved the zipper a bit up since in the video and the instructions it seemed to reach a bit over the seam allowance. But I will definitely get problems when I attach the waist line. Is there an error in the size of the zipper? If I‘d taken an actual 23cm zipper it would have never fit. Apart from the size, more detailed instructions on were to place the zipper (right at the edge of seam allowance or a few mm over it) would be nice. Second: while attaching the loops, you say that the first stitch 5mm should be right into the seam but isn’t the seam allowance 1.2cm? Other from that my new pants look already great. Although I keep hesitating attaching the waistband because I‘m afraid it won‘t work with the zipper 😭
