Mr. Stiles: Your KZbin program popped up on my iPad. I’m a seamstress of 40+ years and have recently decided to remake my entire wardrobe to fit my more svelte shape. I’m deep into hand making Chanel type jackets and relearning how to construct them. I’ve also studied numerous shows on how to insert zippers into women’s pants. The KZbin programs I’ve watched have all used different techniques, some simple, others almost incomprehensible. Your method of pant zipper construction/insertion is the most understandable and the easiest I found. Thank you! Thank you! For your information, I’m a professional quilter (three books, numerous national articles, a Tools of the Trade columnist for Threads magazine and newspaper columnist for the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

A continuation: sorry my finger hit the post button too soon. In closing, you’re on my radar and I plan on letting others know about you. Your sewing techniques are exceptional and I look forward to watching all of your videos so that my garment construction is homed. Sandra Millett

So very thankful for these videos and I got my yoke issue sorted out!!

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

GREAT

[@khalilbeamon]

Is there no back dart to close and transform into jean yoke?

[@johnjackson4985]

How would you decide how much material to get for the measurements for that pattern

[@scottcoleman2687]

I'm confused. What is you want to cut the denim on the selvedge? Can you demonstrate how to adjust the pattern to have a straight side seam?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

This is the link for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jomlfmuMjtmhb7c

Thank you so much for taking the time to videotape this. I realize it's been almost a year since, but if I may ask? I'm not too clear on the way the side seams for the back are drafted. I understand how you used the front draft as a starting point for the back, but the outseam for the front (from waistline to hipline is curved. The outseam for the back is straight. Now, those two seams don't match up, and ultimately won't sew together correctly. Or am I not understanding something? Thanks for your input.

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

The front does have curve and the back has very little. This is the same on your body, your front looks different from your back and you7r pattern should also. If the pattern is made correctly, they will fit perfectly. In the draft this is computed and will work nicely. Make sure you make the pattern as I have shown, and all will be good. However if you want to test it make a sample pair in muslin and you will see how beautifully it matches. Thank you for your question. MR. EWS

[@lesliechristian8907]

Thank you for the video and making me think. I have tried but I don't think this works for women. That foundation line is slanted. Should I just go with the grain from waist to ankle, and leave out the knee?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

This draft works for women and men, and think about it women that have the curves. You should follow the draft just as it is. But make a sample pant in muslin and make the needed changes to the muslin then t1 the pattern. Once that is done it is then time for the real fabric.~ There are no patterns that are perfect for any person without adjustments. That is called Product and Development. Enjoy and create. Thank you, MR EWS

[@andrewskidmore1367]

hello mr stiles, is there a video explaining how to properly transfer the templates onto the denim?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

In this video you will be making the full scale of the pattern. Not a template, this just show you how to make it. You will use the full size measurements. You will have a front and a back. Thank you.

At the top of back leg side seam, where the back waist meets the same waist line as the front leg waist, the shape is different from the front leg side seam shape. The front leg side seam has that curve shape and where the front pocket will be but the back is a straight line from the top of side seam do to the thigh level. How will you make both shapes match?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

They will meet because the pattern was drafted correctly. If is was not they would not meet.. Also the front of your body looks totally different than the back, and so should your pattern.

[@chrisshope8919]

Eric, Thank you very much for the video. I am trying to make this draft work with selvedge denim, which makes my side seam straight. At 6:23 in this video should I always adjust to make these curves the same distance?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

Yes you should because that type is only for wide straight leg type. That type was worn a lot in the 70's but things are now more fitted and must curve with the body. Thank you and enjoy. MR. EWS

[@Tori0822]

Hi Eric, Thank you for your tutoring video. I'm just curious is there any specially reasons to add 1" to the inseam and add only 1/4" at outseam to the back pattern?? Because when I was school, I learned to add same amount width at inseam & outseam on the back of pattern. Pls let me know!

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

Thank you for your interest. They both are correct. Years ago the old masters did it this way, but along the way it has been revised. But if you are making the pattern and the garment try both. You will notice that they are the same. A top designer and pattern maker must know many different styles to create. Stay with it and try other methods and create your own. Good Luck. MR. EWS

[@obamaneverlackinalwayspack6956]

Excuse me sir, for what purpose did you add 2 inches to the waist ?

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

Adding the 2 inches at the waist is for ease. There are two front panels and 2 back panels and each would get a half inch of ease along the waist. Thank you. MR. EWS

Em chào thầy, thầy làm ơn cho em hỏi đây là quần nam hay quần nữ vậy thầy và thầy cho em xin số đo của mô hình của cái quần này nhé em rất cảm ơn thầy

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

It is the same for men or women. The measurements are taken from the original jeans.

[@HungTran-zc7oy]

Thầy làm ơn cho em hỏi mông thân trước lấy 1/4 hay sao vậy Thầy, và cho em hỏi đùi thân trước tính như thế nào vậy Thầy

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

To get 1/4 of the seat you would just divide the seat measurement by 4. If you have the seat measurement the thigh is created in the draft.

[@nuryasin4523]

Please Make a Pattern JOGGER Front and Back

[@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212]

The patterns for the jeans and sweat shirt can be used to create a pattern for the Jogger suit. Just make the needed changes. Look at and measure whatever is different. Take your time, you can do it.

[@nuryasin4523]

Thank you Sir
