HOW TO MAKE TROUSERS FOR LADIES (PATTERN) / HOW TO DRAFT TROUSER PATTERN

[@SewUnique_ng]

Hi guys! So just to clarify... the formula to find the back hip and front hip measurement is found in 0:20 of the video. Example: Hip 44 Front hip = (hip/4) -0.25” Back hip= (hip/4) +0.25” Front hip is 10.75 while the Back hip is 11.25 Front crotch extension ( a quarter of front hip measurement ) see minute 5:14 of video Back crotch extension ( half of back hip measurement) see minute 5:06 of video. I hope this helps ❤️❤️🙏🏾 WATCH THIS to see how I sew the trousers, they came out perfect! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6vEqY2tpJ2KatE

[@katherine2b]

So if I understand 44" is the circumference around the hips. So you would only use that formula if you didn't measure from center front to side seam to get your back hip arc and your front hip arc. So I took my measurements differently because I'm using a book and your videos (which are super helpful) and I measured from center front to side seam. So my (side seam) front hip arc and my back hip arc are already measured exactly where they need to be therefore all I would need to do is add ease to both. Does this sound right? If I measured the circumference of the hips and divided by 4 all four sides would be exactly equal (and our bodies aren't equal, the front and back are different) that's why you would need to do the subtracting part to the front of the pants. Right? ರ_ರ I hope I'm understanding this right hehe.

[@katherine2b]

Wait nvm so i just -.25" from front and +.25" to back

[@SewUnique_ng]

@@katherine2b you’re absolutely spot on Katherine! ❤️👏🏾

[@nkemamanambu5404]

I'm sorry , when you say half of back hip measurement going by Hip of 44" for instance. Will be 11 25 divided by 2? Will that not be too long?

[@SewUnique_ng]

@@nkemamanambu5404 again; you’ll need to pay attention. In the beginning I shared the formula to get back hip & front hip from full hip measurements. It’s also in the pinned comments. So many people have used this. Are you watching alone or you’re watching and drafting? It’s very clear and there are written instructions. Watch in slow motion if that helps but you need to draft

[@alizabethwah9736]

Thank you for sharing. I have a BS in a Fashion Marketing and management. I started with an AA in Fashion Design. THIS is the PROPER WAY to draft. I have NOT seen anyone use this method thus far. Purchase a pattern making book and this is what u will learn.

So the video for me was clear... I understood your instructions. The pattern came excellent. I am making the pattern for someone with a large abdomen so I actually had to come out a little bit with the waist line on the side with the hip bone... about 1inch to accommodate the abdomen. I have done pattern making tutorials from KZbin and I have to say I really enjoyed yours. Will definitely use your channel to help me create some more patterns such as a blouse etc. Thanks so very much. Excellent job.

[@THEJOCELYNRENE]

It would be less confusing if the lines were actually labeled “waist, hip, crotch” etc instead of by letters. Other than that, it’s a great method.

[@SewUnique_ng]

Thank you for you suggesting however in pattern drafting letters/ numbers help because you have so many lines and some don’t have names as they’re just guidelines. Nonetheless I hope you were able to understand 😊

[@SewUnique_ng]

Hello! Kindly check the description bar, all videos mentioned should be linked there. Or at the end. The end screen

[@funbiabiola1975]

Thanks for the tutorial. Please my questions goes thus:For instance my Waist is 30inches and my hip is 40 inches. I used hip/4)+0.25=10.25 on the back part of my trouser. This is my question : after taking 0.75 from the back trouser and then measure my 1/4 of my waist + the dart intake of 2.25 , I have nothing to use as the hip curve part. Pls what is the solution. Many thanks

[@SewUnique_ng]

Hello Funbi. Trust you’re well.... so for the dart intake there’s no fixed size. You can decide to use 1.25 for the dart then you’ll have 1” for the hip curve part. I hope this helps Let me know if you need me to clarify further ❤️

Hi, this has really been helpful. So how do you convert this pattern into a romper or jumpsuit. And for skinny pants, do I need to put in thigh, knee and calf measurements. Thanks

[@SewUnique_ng]

Thank you so much; I’m glad you enjoyed it. For fitted pants, you’ll need to make it fitted using those measurements you mentioned and the centre line as a reference point. To make jumpsuits, rompers etc; you’ll need to make a bodice, combine both so the darts meet. I hope this makes sense?

[@FOA0304]

Please how to I adopt this pattern into a fitted pant? How do I incoperate my thigh measurement. I want it fitted on my thigh. Thank you so much
