How to draft a men's pant pattern ... and fix fit issues!

[@gareth6517]

this comes from someone who never sew something longer than 10 inches in his line. this dude learned all these, most likely in years from the 2d pages of a book (which is a challenge of its own), and lots of trial and error, experience... then he's willing to take the time and effort to record all that experience with all the camera setup, planning how to make the video, editing, graphic design, what to say, when to say it, writing etc FOR FREE! what a time to be alive! this is why i say, in this day and age, if you're a healthy person, you have no excuse to be an ignorant/arrogant. we have the world of knowledge in our palms. incredible, dude. you're amazing! i hope all your hard work pays off and you end being one of those youtubers with millions of subs.

I'm a fashion design major who had somehow never had to learn how to sew pants and oh my god you have been the light in the darkness of my midterm. I tried 4 different drafting methods before I found this video and not only is it the first one I could make work, they fit almost perfectly the first time. Thank you so much!!!

Oh wonderful, I am happy to hear my content was of help to you! Good luck in your program and thanks for sharing a bit about yourself.

[@joyabia682]

Yep my first one was almost a perfect fit and I have never sewn pants before either. I have only been sewing for a few months

[@tearoses1959]

Just coming back here to say this: this is an amazing tutorial and draft. I drafted a pair of women’s trousers for myself, and I didn’t expect it to work out because I have quite the pair of hips. (Commercial patterns never turn out quite right on me) I’ve been proven wrong, and after a few minor tweaks I will make these up in a proper fabric that isn’t a sheer bedsheet! I’ve become quite jaded to the idea of never having pants that fit, but the pair I drafted off of this tutorial? Perfect! No weird wrinkles, digging, etc on the mock-up, and the crotch isn’t so high and tight that it’s trying to strangle me. Thank you so much Corn!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That is wonderful news. I am happy to hear that your draft fits you well and you are able to make them to your desires. Hopefully, the final pair made out of the desired fabric turn out well too. Thank you for watching and thank you for chiming in, it's always great to get feedback.

so does that mean i can make women's trousers/jeans with this way of measuring? thanking u in advance

[@tearoses1959]

@@loubou4043 Yes! I made up the pants and they are great! They're pretty comfy and fit pretty well. My only issue with them is that the fabric I chose is pretty wrinkly and is a lint magnet, but the draft itself is wonderful!

I'm still new to the whole sewing thing so I haven't discovered too many youtubers, but so far this is the most detailed and well explained video on pattern drafting I've seen so far by a long shot. All the others are just "add x amount of inches because that's how it's done, make this curve like this, because that's how it's done" But you have actually gone through the effort to explain why these things are done and how they're relevant to the actual trousers. Thank you for making this video, you are doing a great service to the world and I look forward to what you produce for the sewing tutorial if that's what you're making in the future

[@AlexJay2113]

This was incredibly helpful for someone like me who is just beginning his journey into sewing. I am a short kinda stocky/chubby guy (5'8, 38ish Waist) with large thighs so it's very difficult to find pants that fit properly and impossible if I want a "skinny"/tapered fit. Got tired of no clothing brands making a 26 or 27 inseam in my size so here I am. Your GORGEOUS face in the thumbnail brought me here, the solid info and care put into the video made me stay. Thanks!!! ❤️

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well now just go and make my blush why don't you! ☺️ Thank you for the kind words and good luck in your sewing adventures. Your world of good clothing is going to blossom for you :)

[@PauloHwandratsch]

Your teaching method is the best! I've been sewing for a couple years now, made some tshirts, button down shirts, minor adjustments on some pants and even a dress once. But pants always seemed nearly impossible, besides the two front and two back pieces, there is also the waistbands, pockets, and the front fly, never made sense in my head how to put all these together. There's just too many parts and too many calculations and details. I've searched a lot throughout KZbin, in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and even some Japanese sewing channels, and it was all very confusing, some were ok, but never gave me the feeling that I could do it, there was always something lacking. But man, your video is the best by far, you not only show how to make the patterns but also why they are made like that, and the part where you teaches how to make adjustments is totally on point, you made very clear every doubt that I had, and now I feel confident to finally take up on this challenge and sew my first pair of pants. Thank you very much and I hope to see much more of you in the future!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh my. You're kind words really make my efforts seem worth it. Thank you! I am happy that the way I do things has translated in an understandable way. The next few videos are mostly for me, but then I will most definitely be doing more tutorials in the future :) Thank you for sharing.

Cornelius - I couldn’t thank you enough. I wish everyone who watches this appreciate how valuable this pattern cutting lesson is. I see people in the internet talking about buying pattern which I find it strange. But I understand why may be that’s the hardest part. Even the sewing lessons by others on KZbin on trousers aren’t helpful. Your videos are handsdown best. People go at lengths to explain crotch curve, crotch lengths etc in a dedicated video which gives us nightmare. You simply addressed the crotch issues by saying “let’s add some ease”. I owe you a ton. I have been making about a dozen of trousers since watching your videos. It’s hugely helpful

[@rhonddalesley]

Wow, you’re a really brave newbie to start with trousers! I’ve been dressmaking for 40 years with a long break in between because of kids and work commitments etc, I didn’t stop doing repairs, taking garments in and out, making curtains and so on but only really started again during lockdown to make scrubs, surgical hats, masks etc for frontline workers so it’s been a LONG time since I’ve made a pair of tailored trousers and the thought honestly terrifies me! I invested in a overlocker a couple of years ago too so I’m having to learn to master that as well as relearn everything I knew before, I don’t know if it’s my age, confidence level, lack of skill or all of the above but I’m doing so much seam ripping it’s ridiculous but I’m trying to be patient with myself even though it’s so frustrating but I’ll get there. I just miss the days of making clothes for my kids (although they’re obviously adults now and things need to be much bigger lol, I’ve made some tees, hoodies, joggers etc to practice working with knit fabrics) I miss whipping something for myself up in a few hours without needing a pattern and with the expert finishing I learned in my first job and from both of my grandmothers who inspired me to get started so I could make my first garment aged only 13. I hope your sewing journey is as fruitful and enjoyable as mine has been!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thanks for sharing your story Rhonda and thanks for watching. You're sewing again and that's wonderful.

[@nkha23]

Thank you! I purchased a book for nearly 100 bucks and the step by step instructions are incomprehensible at times. Not to mention it was written with words and mathematical symbols. At times I'm trying to figure if they're saying A to B or A minus B. Doesn't help that I learn better by watching demonstrations. This is definitely a godsend and I'm gong to give garment making a whack again. Take a break from my quilting

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice, I'm happy to hear that you appreciate my effort. Also, I'm happy to hear that you're keeping at it with the sewing. Between the quilting and the sewing, I imagine you'll have a wickedly wonderful wardrobe.

I've wanted to do this forever. I started sewing on Saturday (My wife bought me a waistcoat pattern to teach me with for my 30th b'day) - This will be my next project, if not maybe my second-next project (After a better waistcoat, once I've got the hang of it!) Thank you for your clear instructions. It's clear you've thought through what you're trying to communicate, and that you understand exactly why you're doing things, as well as when why you're doing things doesn't -really- matter because it's a rule of thumb to protect us from over-information! I can't wait to try this.

as an engineer used to "just wing it" (I've made a handful of knit-fabric pants, mostly copying other pants, but I tend to have fit issues. doesn't help that I can't be arsed to do tests first, because the fabric is already cheap), this explains SO much. especially the ease for the butt part. thanks.

I also was wondering, do you have any tips or resources for adding extra design elements such as pleats to pant patterns? I think you did a great job of showing how to draft the overall design, but how would you modify it for different styles? Either way, great job and keep it up!

good luck. i hope it goes well for you.. my best advice. try out your patterns in the cheapest fabric you can find. just be sure that if your final garment should be from a woven fabric, use a woven for your test, if it should be made of a knit, your test garment should be of a cheap knit. mainly, if you are new to sewing, always make a toile or test garment. especially if you are self drafting.

I’ve found this videos and u can’t express how much it’s enjoyable to watch thank you so much

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful, I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching and I'm glad to hear you appreciated it.

[@brandondabreo421]

I loved enginnering drawing but sadly cutting pieces of metal is too damn expensive and tedious so I'm here trying to satisfy my urge to engineer something useful, and you Sir are pretty good cloth engineer. Also, my "hard to shop for" ass appreciates your effort! Well done and thanks for this :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I am flattered and you made my Friday. I hope you're able to engineer a pair of pants that your makes your tuchus sing a song of delight. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@estherng6496]

“Thank you so much for this video! Your explanation and demonstration really helped me understand how to draft pants using my own measurements. I appreciate the effort you put into making it clear and easy to follow.”

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad to hear it.

[@joemurray110277]

I love this video Cornelius! You have a very clear, concise and patient manner. May I ask could you construct a pattern for ladies pants also? Thank you.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am happy to hear you found value in this video. Thanks for watching and sharing. I've had a few women say that they used this same video for themselves and it worked out for them! Perhaps with some slight adjustments you could do the same.

[@parkerwatson3754]

I have been making a lot of pants based on your tutorials.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful. I am happy to have been of help and thanks for watching.

[@smcgee2010]

Bro. Cornelius, I just finished watching your tutorial on drafting pants. Your ability to take the complex and make the simplex is off the chain. As a prior Army instructor, having that ability allows everyone at any level to comprehend such detailed instruction. I'm grateful for you sharing this tutorial, now it's time to try and draft a pair of pants. I've watched several of your tutorials and will continue to do so. Thank you again. 🙏👍

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for watching. I hope your pants turn out well for you! Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself, it's always great to know who's watching my videos.

[@smcgee2010]

I finished drafting the front & back going step by step with your tutorial. I'll be cutting out the patterns and trying them on for fitting. I'm really grateful for your tutorial, so many videos people are just flying full head of speed. You took time out to cover a lot of instructions. 🙏👍 I'll let you know how they come out.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am happy to hear you appreciate my video. Good luck in the process of making your pants and hopefully they turn out how you wish and I appreciate you sharing the process, it's always great to hear from folks such as yourself.

[@Kryvbasinc]

Your tutorials are amazing! Thank you for making these and I hope you make more!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you and I most certainly plan to do more. ☺

[@shemzkaris235]

Thankyou so much Cornelius for this tutorial. It's very clear and less confusing. I am inspired to start sewing these pants.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful, I hope you do and they turn out as you desire.

[@thejeff205]

Such a wonderful tutorial.👍🏻

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Glad you like it.

lOVE that you had all the same why questions as a student, wanted to answer them! Most happy go lucky informative approach to pattern drafting

[@mymagnificentself7480]

this is a really good and comprehensive video to follow along to, indeed demystifying the process and giving helpful tips, thank you so much for all your hard work and explanations of things that usually just get glossed over

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Happy sewing.

[@RychaardRyder]

Woohoo!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

😊

[@SeeliaVachon]

I'm self taught and have been sewing for many years but I've never drafted pants from scratch before. I've always just cut up old pants for a pattern if I want to make new ones. Plus I mostly make costumes and corsets. But now that my sons are grown and I want to make cultural clothing for them, I want to learn this step. Your video is the first video I've found that starts from scratch, and I'm so excited to draft some pants for my boys! I hope I can follow these steps. ❤

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching and may you make the pants exactly as you desire!

[@garethholmes]

My favourite bit is Corn multiplying by a float and then giving the answer as a value with a fraction😊. Quirky yet fully understandable and another great tutorial.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I'm glad it still makes sense :) Happy sewing.

[@poppiemc7204]

Ive made 3 pants so far using this pattern, great fit, now making some draft changes and revisiting the pattern. Youre a saviour

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That's awesome. May you make a wardrobe full :)

[@poppiemc7204]

@@CorneliusQuiring im working on an outfit for september 1st church mass and start of univ. The pants were the last piece (Gosh im saying it like im already done. Nay, im just getting to the waistband right now, taking things slow, enjoying the process). Anyhow i made a waistcoat and a dress shirt for the occasion

[@TeddyBar]

I never made Pants because I didnt think I could do it. I watched this Video and now I'm making Pants for my boyfriend. Already made two test pants and I am working on the third try. Just some small adjustments Thank you so much!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Good on you! I'm glad to hear you took on the challenge and I hope #3 turns out as you hope.

[@Tassaczek]

This is the best pattern-making tutorial I have ever seen. I do have a book, Patternmaking for Fashion Design, but the way you explained it - it is just perfect. Thank you. :D Thanks to you I will go back to sewing :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That's wonderful news, I'm happy to hear you're sewing again and I'm glad that my way of thinking makes things understandable for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@grapes4832]

I started learning to sew this year and decided my first project will be some sharovary, which I’d have to draft myself. Thank you!!! This has been incredibly informative and easy to follow :]

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad to hear it. I hope it turns out for you.

[@antisadboilaser]

Thank you so so much for this video! As many have already said, your instructional style was very easy to follow, well paced, and clear. I used this to make my first pair of shorts! Thank you for the instruction I'm very proud to have started learning this skill!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear my approach works for you. Good on you for making them.

[@janfranklin2114]

You have come a long way in a short time. I made a bodice sloper as an exercise for a class I was taking, it’s complicated. My hats off to you.

For someone who as there to see my early efforts, this comment is meaningful. I lose track of where I am at sometimes, being in the thick of it. It's nice to hear from you.
