How to draft a basic trouser pattern// easy pattern drafting// Beginners friendly

I tried to make the pattern drafting of this trouser as easy as possible. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

[@divineedward]

Please when joining your knee to your crotch using your French curve . Don’t make it too curvy if not you might have issues

[@shimisonterakaa6324]

Hi, since i am making mine with a side zipper. Would it be okay if I cut my front and back band on fold?

[@divineedward]

@@shimisonterakaa6324 👍🏼 perfect .. don’t forget to close the dart on your waist band , if you have darts

[@shimisonterakaa6324]

@Divine Edward thank you very much. You are very kind!

[@shimisonterakaa6324]

Omg I just made my trousers but in a short form bcos I was not sure it would come out beautiful. Thank you so much!

[@JulianaKuunyigr]

This is really so easy for me qs a beginner. Thanks

[@ksavitha22]

Very nicely explained.. I will try and comment

[@UtibeEbebe]

Please, Mma drafting the back inside the front pattern makes it a whole lots of confusion. Please can you make it 2 separate paper. Thank you

[@faithifidon3181]

You make it so easy

[@divineedward]

Thank you 😊 ❤️

[@adebimpeakinmolayan7366]

Hi sis, still waiting for the sewing part, thanks.

[@khiramomodu2956]

Pls do a sewing tutorial

[@astridtaw]

Very good tutorial. My pattern turned out very good. I myself had to convert all those inches to cm, because I'm used to cm, but that certainly didn't keep me from drafting one. Thank you for sharing.

[@Kimbampikidding]

Can I use the same method to make pattern for straight leg trouser? Please reply and do we have to add margin for waistband attachment

[@divineedward]

If you doing a straight leg pattern then from the hip like draw it straight down no need to shape towards the knee and ankle. Then for your waistband band please cut it out from the trouser pattern . If you want your waist band to be 2 inches then from the waist line mark down two inches and cut out from the pattern and close the dart . This will make your waist band snatch your waist

[@Kimbampikidding]

​@@divineedwardthanks

[@babraStitchtofit]

​@@divineedwardhi this is a wonderful drafting video. I want to ask if the waist band is included in it. I couldn't find a stitching video

[@loisamosdauda4312]

Wow dis beautiful,ur doing well. Tanx 4 sharing.

[@theprofessionaldesignertpd]

A good effort indeed!

[@christinabarnes1105]

Did you add your ease allowance before or after???????

[@stylefreakamy]

Please what other way can I trace if I don't have a tracing wheel

[@divineedward]

If no tracing wheel you could use a transparent paper or use pins to mark it out

[@stylefreakamy]

Thanks

[@nyadzisaisixpence7585]

Thanks for the tutorial,my question is,are Yu going to add a waist band ?do Yu add sewing allowance on the fabric?help us with the sewing of the trousers

[@divineedward]

You can either add sewing allowance on the fabric or the pattern paper. I traced out (using my tracing wheel) the front block And back block on a different pattern paper

[@Kimbampikidding]

Mam please make a video of sewing tutorial too

[@bernadettemitchell1872]

I like that you saved paper on your framing by using 2 colors on one page

[@justmide8296]

What about if you have a big calf,would the kneee circumference be the same for the ankle? Very understandable video by the way.

[@divineedward]

Drafting depend on the way you want the shape of your pattern to be . If you feel using your knee measurement will be too much for your ankle. Then you can just add extra ease to your ankle measurement and make it as wide as you like

[@aduragbemibusayo6857]

Thank you for this video, it came on my screen at the right time. But I want to ask a question, can I add an excess allowance to make it look like a palazzo because I'm making use of Pampala fabric

[@divineedward]

Yes you can do that

[@reigndollar7866]

Good explanation but why not use different paper for front and back?

[@divineedward]

This method requires drafting the back pattern on the front to make it easier. But at the end I use a tracing wheel to separate the patterns . But I’ll definitely work on another method where we draft front and back separately

[@UtibeEbebe]

Exactly.

[@ntombimlungwana-rn2xv]

How many mitars of fabric

[@Ada-kc6pr]

Please if we want to add allowance, should everything be at the back or we can add allowance at the front and back?

[@divineedward]

Hello no . For this type of pattern you have to trace both front and back in a different pattern paper. I know it’s a lot of work

[@Sonia.Onyeka]

So easy 🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@divineedward]

I’m glad 😊

[@joyakpanfriday8231]

The sewing

[@ogechiblessing1798]

Well explained. Pls I'll love to see the sewing video

[@flakesmoi177]

This is the most explanatory video for female trouser. God bless u dear.

[@JulianaKuunyigr]

Yh sure

[@christinabarnes1105]

Hi Divine why did you use the curb ruler on one side of the pants. And a straight line on the other side ??

[@maielmasry7371]

very simple method, thank you very much, but can I ask if the seam allowance will be added?

[@divineedward]

Hello Yes . Please add seam allowance before sewing

[@seola5261]

Why the back part of my pants is having an issue. Later the thread will tear off.

[@divineedward]

You can explain better so i understand

[@heartsseries4071]

You’re always so detailed. Thank you ☺️❤️

[@divineedward]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@shimisonterakaa6324]

Nice illustration. Do I add seam allowance while sewing? And how many inches did you cut off the band?

[@divineedward]

Trace both front and back to a new pattern paper with your tracing wheel or use a tracing paper. Then you can add your allowance on the paper or your frantic. That’s your choice 😉

[@jaidenssfx6226]

Thank you for the tutorial..Please notify me when you have the sewing tutorial.

[@ezechiamaka734]

Goodevening why is my shaped side coming to d front

[@kpsingh99]

Excellent Tutorial M'am. Please include the pocket patterns also.

[@KALI-244]

[@lawalnasiru2803]

[@shreyasaran8693]

Hlo...! You didn't tell me the stitching your pant

[@Zoe-qd9nh]

Thanks a million Edward. Kindly sew it for us too please

[@divineedward]

I’m working on it Please turn on notification so you won’t miss out

[@susanadoe5704]

Hello please can you draft a sleeve and the upper Bodies?

[@christinabarnes1105]

Why did you go up 1.5 inches from the knee point?

[@divineedward]

Hello . That’s just a general formula to get the knee line. But if you have the opportunity to measure your client waist to knee it could also work

[@christinabarnes1105]

Ok cool❤

[@ugouchime3882]

Please u didn't add ease at the hip and crotch line, is it still okay to go on like that?

[@mamtasingh-es6vz]

Thank u so much this video Pls send stitching video of this pant

[@ifeomanwudu4970]

Thanks for sharing. Can you do for jumpsuit

[@Stylebylee]

No lap measurements I’m abit confuse

[@ntombimlungwana-rn2xv]

Thank you my sweetheart ❤

[@fatumamasha1179]

What if you don't want a dart at back how do you input your waist measurement

[@divineedward]

Just mark your waist /4 without adding 1 inch to it

[@fatumamasha1179]

Thank you l love your work

[@cleanqueen75]

What if you have a curvy butt?

[@Whistlewalk]

Thank you!! This will be very useful.

[@AnnieDOlad]

Please are you going to be adding a waist band

[@divineedward]

Hello I get the waist band from the pattern

[@divineedward]

@@shimisonterakaa6324 I usually use 2 inches

[@mamtasingh-es6vz]

What is calculation of hip line

[@divineedward]

No calculations That’s your waist to hip measurement (hip depth)

[@mamtasingh-es6vz]

Ok thanks alot

[@honglam3273]

Thank you so much.

[@aishafabulous]

[@ezechiamaka734]

Goodevening why is my shaped side coming to d front

[@AlfredblessingTv]

When you wanted to join the knee to the crotch, you made it too curvy, that's the Reason for that, it should not be too curvy, try it out and see how it looks

[@batamariam1350]
