Yaaaaaaaaaz finally, now I’m gonna make it from my ikea bedsheets

[@ms_needle3502]

How did it turn out? :)

[@kmrf27]

@@ms_needle3502 uhm …….weeeeeeelllllll🫤 it turned out………Al-right……ish🫣😅

[@ms_needle3502]

@@kmrf27 hey well everyone starts somewhere i know it all too well haha its trial and error.

[@kmrf27]

@@ms_needle3502 you know what it is, I don't have like a "community" that I can be motivated to go and sew together. You know, like a sewing club or something... And I guess that's what demotivates me that I procrastinate a lot🤷🏿‍♂️

[@ms_needle3502]

@@kmrf27 oh that is actually a cool idea! Wish i had somethin like that here as well. Would be fun too. I feel ya. I made some pieces of clothing that turned out average as well. The Method that worked best for me is sewing in pieces of fabric until it fits me perfectly haha. The fit is really all about making a good pattern if you got some clothes that fit u well and are not totally deformed from wearing or washing them too often u can use them as patterns and use a good ruler or somethin straight to connect lines. I got so frustrated at one point that i made a one piece patchwork jacket like sewing piece upon piece of fabric and cuttin pieces away and adding whereever the body needs it to fit better. But it all has a down side too like sewing lining is pretty much impossible with that approach 😂 but its lookin pretty cool so far id say. Maybe u can try somethin like that too? Pants are the most difficult id say to make and get the fit right. And sidenote i just use fabrics or old jeans that dont fit anymore etc whatever is at hand. Maybe this gave u some Inspiration 😌

[@doeyspark]

2 minutes in and this is already the best pattern making video I've ever seen.

[@gabriellls1145]

Thank you sooo much for this! I'm making my own clothes to cut down on my impulsive fast fashion shopping, and to find my own style. This helps massively!

[@jesushatsunemiku6165]

How's it going?

[@mrose421]

The papaya shorts sent me to heaven omg. I absolutely love those!

[@mycats7321]

The first thing that struck me was that you have a very friendly/kind-looking face. That is definitely a bonus for doing videos. Thank you very much for explaining this. I'm just starting to learn how to sew (not counting the home ec class 30+ years ago). I absolutely hate store-bought patterns because they tear so easily so making my own patterns is something I want to do. Plus I can get better fit that way. I'm hoping I'll be able to make stuff for family members. I've been perusing pants tutorials and trying to figure out how to get the best fit. This is very helpful. I haven't seen your tarot card videos yet, but my mother used to do tarot card readings.

[@brooklynadebowale]

Hey, love the channel. Would love to see the follow up parts of this process. For example a pocket, zipper and waist band pattern draft video. Then maybe another video or two of you putting the parts together. Really helpful so far we just want more. hahaha Thankyou so much. x

[@beauchamp90]

I've been trying to pattern draft a pair of shorts and watched a few videos on youtube on pattern drafting. I've seen some videos that were a bit harder to follow and I think you explained it pretty well. I'm going to try your method. Thanks for the video. ✨

[@missv7645]

I am self taught, mostly through KZbin videos and I must say, you have made it easier to make and cut out a pants pattern for me. Thank you

[@kimigirl4794]

So glad you made the point about the difference at the crotch line from the male to female pattern. Thanks a mill!

[@THEJOCELYNRENE]

I’m so glad you made this video based off of Demi’s video because that one is a good one but sometimes it was hard to understand what she was doing & why. You did great, thank you!

[@ximenarojasgonzalez2135]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate those papaya shorts 🤌🏻

[@idahansson3555]

I learned more from watching your video than the class I took in pattern-making over a 6 month period!

[@amias8828]

And that's why i always tell my parents that imma learn sewing by myself

[@lizzzz711]

thank you sm! all my pants stopped fitting me so definitely going to be making my own with help from this video ❤️ hoping you are safe during these times

[@Robin-2350]

This is going to be helpful i want to start making my own clothes

[@lauraafrouzian2959]

Thank you so much. . Very well explained and the best part is. . .you speak slowly and to the point. Some others talk so fast that I get lost. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Bakersfield, California Blessings 🙌

[@Kalimbarima]

Thank you!! I tried another video too but this one is much better to understand haha. Update: i just finished my first pants i've ever made thanks to this video😀😀 thank youuu i'm so happy with it.

[@got7jjang288]

is it a good fit? does the crotch area fit perfectly? not too long nor too short?

[@hesperheart6622]

Thank you so much for doing this by hand. I’m a visual learner and this was so very helpful.

[@Captain_Raine]

Thanks! Really needed this for a cosplay😂

[@xxbeinaxx]

i’m making my first pair of pants for myself and this tutorial was SOOOO HELPFULL, thank you so much!!!

[@letmeview]

Hey there. Thank you so much for making this video. I spent the day mocking up a pair of paints and shirt. Would you be able to make a video showing how you fit the pants after you’ve made them? Like how are you making the necessary adjustments to get a better fit for your garment? That would be really helpful! Thank you for all the time you’ve been putting into your videos!

[@sandyschroeder1596]

I wish I had seen this first. This looks very doable. Thank you.

[@yeqqo]

just finished a pair 2 days ago from this tutorial. very helpful

[@khadscott7172]

Bro, your channel should be waaaay more popular than 29.8k subscribers and 200k views. You should be in the millions, you are a gem. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! On my way to watch all your videos now! 🚶🏽‍♀

[@Pot0de0nutella]

oooooooh I can't wait to try and do many patchwork pants in all leg shapes! thank you for this! I've always been interested in pattern making but it's pretty intimidating oops

[@carriesargent9209]

Thank you, every time I cut out a pattern ,I have to do the adjustments on each piece. Now I can make a pattern to fit the first time and save so much time.

[@AfricaAmethyst]

The easiest I've seen so far..makes me feel that indeed is is possible and I can do it too🥺♥️♥️ Thank you so much

[@capedoryus]

This video rocks! Thank you. I'm up to pants # three from a self drafted pj tutorial. I had no idea of what I was doing or what the shapes ment as I traced a pair of pants. Here's a tip for novice pattern making : dollar store has wrapping paper for, yes you guessed it, a buck. But the best part is that it has a grid printed on the underside. I was not ready to spend big cough on proper paper so when I found this I was thrilled. Bad part is that you can't see through it for tracing. I think a tracing wheel would work great. Great job on the video production. You taught an old dog new tricks.

[@dirikimiller1026]

Thank you so much brother for this you are an excellent teacher there's other Pan videos on here but I can understand yours a lot better than I could the other sartorius and see you know certain pivotal information that's needed you know a lot of the other set to Rios on designers and sowers telling you or instructing you how to make pants or how to draft a pan pattern they leave out certain details that are needed like for instance how many inches in the crotch area do you square out for the back draft of the pant the last video I watched he left that out and I think that part was needed if you leave out certain pivotal details that's what confuses people but your video was very easy to understand it wasn't confusing thank you so much for this video and keep up the good work

[@kittybrowning]

Ty this is great I used it to do my daughters trackies and it works great I didn't include darts but I did an elastic waist so it was gathered with the elastic I cudnt work out when u was doing the back what I ment so I must have been tired because I've just rewatched it and it makes sense this time. Fantastic tutorial thank you

[@MilesSinatra246]

I finished creating my pattern from you video! I’m so excited to try it out, there is fall fashion to be invented!!

[@NotReallyRebecca]

How did it go?

wow just when i was wanting to make some pants i found your channel and you got this video damn so helpful bless

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I love your enthusiasm and energy. I'm watching and hoping to pick up something I'm missing. I sewed my first mockup of my pants pattern tonight. It came out sad. The rise was way too short. Maybe I just like high waist pants. I think I got the leg widths right. I'm back to the drawing board. I definitely need to work something out. I'm not too upset. It was my first pair, and I used a Goodwill sheet that I paid $4. I'm out a little time, but I feel like I learned something. I will use the fabric for pockets or bag linning. I don't waste fabric. It seems like a lot of the women's videos are making low-rise pants. I need mom style. I'm older and have shape issues. I just need another explanation.

[@greenflamesfirestarter]

This is an amazing drafting video - Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I'm so excited to start making clothes!!

[@lisakoehler1719]

I love your instructions! A few adjustments and I'm making scrub pants with this! Thank you!

[@422Flush]

Hey man loved the video! Glad to see a guy doing this. Getting into it from my tailor at job! Super helpful

[@tompahdea9263]

For those with large than usual calves measure them as well. Had a tradition of getting sheepskin boots for Christmas each year on my family get together from a craftsman n a mall along the way. His pattern fit the usual guy but being a runner my calves were much more developed and he had to insert a v piece in back to get them to fit.

[@HappilyDressed]

Very nice point/suggestion!

omg i NEED those papaya shorts!!

[@msramona60]

Thank you so much. I am very pear shaped and can never find ready to wear that fit correctly.

[@user-ok4nb6cf2n]

Thank you so much! Every time I go to the tailor to get a custom-made pair of pants, they somehow get it wrong. The thighs are either too tight that the pants would rip instantly if they are not denim, or the butt part is too loose and I look like I have my swag on. So I decided to get my grandma’s vintage sewing machine and teach myself how to sew. I have to say it was harder than I expected, but at the end of the day, I finally made a pair of pants that fits me very veryyyy well.

[@arleneromanovlogs]

Thanks for sharing.. now I know how to make pattern for pants.
