Love the video but confused on how to calculate the dart measurements when deducting for the waist.

[@MissyMb44]

I have watched many pattern drafting videos for shorts/trousers but this has got to be the least confusing one lol ! Thank you SOO much for explaining everything so clearly. I cannot wait to try it out.

[@sewquaint]

aww; thank you so much! this made me smile 😊 I’m happy you love it. what would you like to see next?

This is a great instructional video.Clearly explained in simple ways. Thank you very much!

[@lucyjob5093]

Love the tutorial but I am a bit confused on how to calculate what extra space needs to be removed on the waistlines to make them fit after the darts have been drawn in. Could anyone explain how to work this out please. Thank you 🙂

[@carolinelogue6071]

Can I use the same pattern without putting a zip in and put some cord in the waistband instead?

[@claraslim1497]

Watching from Nigeria, honestly this is so super easy to learn. I love the way you teach, it's very easy to understand. Thanks so much sis.

You are awesome 😎 girl.thank you.

[@kratesh4965]

very useful video many thanks I still do have a question, as I am not very familiar with the notions - when you make the pattern, you said 'waist to tight' measure, but when you show how and what to measure there is no 'waist -to-tight' given/specified - would you please make a short note what this effectively is? many many thanks!

[@honeyleiz1170]

Hello😘 can you pls. explain well at 4:40 to 7:00 because that is the only thing i dont get clear..thank you so much😍😘😘😘

[@ilynn9794]

Amazing video thank you! I am wondering how this would work with a non-stretchy material how it would fit over hips while putting it on if the waist is already cut to size? Could someone please explain? Thanks!

[@sewquaint]

Add 1/2” allowance to all sides and 1/2” ease for a looser fit. You can always adjust it to fit tighter afterwards if you want that.

[@lucasbermudez6674]

If you have old portable sewing machine can you give one .I want to make like your ,very easy you make and perfect nice tutorial love it God bless .Thank you for a blog.

I’m happy you love it and I’m happy I could help 🙏🏽

[@monicathompson9794]

I would like to read the.description please

[@RbecOwen]

Great tutorial! I'd like to make these out of stretchy material for my Halloween costume-- any tips on how to adjust the pattern besides negative seam allowance?

[@sewquaint]

I would say use the elastic waistband shorts pattern instead. It’s perfect for stretch fabrics. This design is better for non-stretch fabrics

[@sewquaint]

Here’s the tutorial for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImWmpaVmd17Z9Esi=yXFy0buyXgZQlhsP

[@leratotladi934]

Hi. Could one extend this and use it for full pants?

[@ShikhaRajoriya]

Hey great work just wanted to know did u make tht bag too?? If yes would love to see how? xoxo

[@adriannaflavin1837]

Wow, fabulous video and exactly what I was looking for!!! I love drafting patterns using my own measurements! Your instructions were so clear. I am curious though, what kind of fabric did you use? It looks like a woven. Is there any stretch in the woven fabric? Also, where would you build in the ease if it is just a plain woven fabric? (How many inches of ease would you add and where to make sitting and squatting comfortable?)

[@sewquaint]

thank you! you can add about 1/4” of ease at the hips. Also, I used a non-stretch cotton type of fabric.

[@fehintoluwaoguntade7462]

I really enjoyed your video, and I've subscribed to it. I have a question please, when you were taking your body measurement, hip, thigh and crotch you measured from your waist and after adding the band to it, the short is still at that length. Are we suppose to deduct the band width from those lengths, if not won't it affect the fitting of the crouch since it will be longer than it was measured. Thanks!

[@fiyinfoluwakolawole6619]

@SEW QUAINT. pls answer this question 🙏

[@fiyinfoluwakolawole6619]

@SEW QUAINT. Also are we to measure from the band to the crotch or we deduct the band which can be 2 inches before we measure the crotch and full length?

[@shalindri04]

Great video...I love how you draft both the front and back together... its easier to understand. Can I make this for a child using the same concept or would it be different?

[@sewquaint]

I believe you can use the same concept once you have their measurements. Try it and let me know how it turns out.

[@sewquaint]

& thanks! 🤗

[@shalindri04]

[@catb.7536]

When you measure , do u measure in inches and call it circumference

[@evelynijama]

Hello dear, please by thigh line do you mean thigh circumference? Wonderful video.

[@sewquaint]

hey! yes, that’s what I mean. But the thigh line only represents a half of that.

[@khalidnazir5043]

Thanl you vwry much

[@sewquaint]

you’re welcome!

[@bethrivera867]

What if I don't want darts in my shorts?

[@janelleamoy1048]

Was testing out different patterns to see which works easiest me. Did you went ahead and add the half inch extra for the dart when you were cutting?

[@sewquaint]

I didn’t but you can

[@vibebern]

Hi! Thanks for this! I have been looking for a tutorial for a shorts pattern and this is by far the easiest to follow! I have one question. Is the waist to thigh measurement at 1:30 same as the length of the shorts at 0:47? So if you want to make the shorts longer do you extend the waist to thigh measurement?

[@sewquaint]

hey! thanks for watching 🙂 I appreciate it. yes they’re the same and that’s definitely how you’d make the shorts longer. Let me know if you have anymore questions! 🙏🏾

[@floresodalys323]

❤️❤️

[@ColorMeBaddMUA]

Should my hip line be lower than my crotch line?

[@sewquaint]

Nope. The hip line is higher than the crotch line.

[@quanyintv]

Love the info but fyi the intro volume compared to the voice over is crazy! I thought I was going to blow out a speaker because I had to turn it up to the highest setting just to hear you and then the intro kicked in blasting out the phone

[@keyssiebeaubrun8516]

Hey! Awesome video super detailed!! I love it 😻! Just a quick question do I use the same pattern if I wanna make wide leg short? Should I just extend the crotch and thigh line?

[@sewquaint]

thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it. Extend the thigh line to meet the crotch line. You can let the crotch line stay as is.

[@cilementina4.12]

wht if I want the shorts a little longer

[@sewquaint]

hey! draw the thigh length to whatever length you want it to be and follow the steps as usual. I could do a video on how to do pants tooo

[@cilementina4.12]

@@sewquaint So not a pant length but like shorts to the knee area

the side seam should be straight as possible. in professional pattern it is straight, most books are wrong it kept secret it took me 8 years to have a best pattern drafting formula for men's and women's shirt,pant and jacket.
