thank you for sharing this video with us! I just wanted to mention that another way to determine your crotch depth line is to subtract your pants inseam length from your overall pants length as measured from the top of the waist at the side seam. For example, my length at the side seam waist to the floor is 40" . My inseam length is 28.5" as measured to the floor. Therefore my crotch depth is 11.5". Hope this might be a helpful guide when drafting.

Thank you so so much. I really appreciate. 🥰🥰🥰

I do not understand please

[@erinkitolabims4967]

very smart thank you

[@roselineajaji7911]

Thank you for your thorough explanations. If you know how to could you please do a video of pant drafting for an overweight person with an apple shape.

[@ifashy]

Okay. I will. Thank you for pointing it out.

[@PhoenixInStyle]

Please what is the main fabric for a good professional trouser

[@level2456]

Thanks for the video. Is this high waist pants? If not what is the formula for high waist crotch

[@classickoncept_fashion]

Thank you for this! Please is it possible to close the dart from the pattern before cutting out on fabric instead of sewing the dart from the fabric?

[@ifashy]

Yes it is.

[@pwettimelanin]

This is Beautiful, okay this is like a low waist trouser right? Wat if I'm making an high waist trouser, what's the measurements I should use please.... I have a hip of 44 also if I add 1.5 to the 11 making it 12.5 or say 13, would it come out with bulge? At the crotch area?

[@ifashy]

This is a high waist trouser. You can watch the sewing video to see how high it came out. And if it’s not high enough for you, you can then add an inch or more. And as long as you follow the procedure, the crotch wouldn’t bulge.

[@glittergwyn]

This was very detailed, thanks. I had a couple of queries. Firstly, why did you not keep a straight crease (6.5 frm side) but make it 7.5 down? 2ndly, for front, you added 1" for dart and 1" for zipper at waist but you didn't adjust the zipper allowance at the back waist. Finally, did you leave allowance fr stitching throughout? Because you measured as per body measurements and cut the cloth as per pattern. Maybe I didn't notice. I'm new to sewing. 😊

[@ifashy]

Thank you for your observation. Firstly, I didn’t keep a straight crease line because this is not a straight pant. It is wide bottom. Secondly, the dart and zip allowance I took for front, worked on the back too. Because it takes one leg from the front and on leg from the back to fix a zipper. Thirdly, the sewing allowance thing was an oversight. Kindly add sewing allowance to yours while cutting on the fabric.

[@glittergwyn]

@@ifashy Thank you so much for replying. 😊I'm having some trouble with sewing trousers (I'm still learning). Will definitely give this a try.

[@seyiwiseglobalphenomenon4436]

Nice one! Observation pls , can't see where you add the allowance for the hips.

[@ifashy]

I didn't add allowance for the hips because it usually puffs up that hip part. What I did was add a little when I was cutting. If u notice, I placed the pattern on the fabric and cut a little out of line.

[@smangelecmshoba5884]

To get the perfect crotch ,hip line divided by4 , I just l want to ask that ,if lm making atrouser for a big or small person l also divide by 4 or

[@lwaboshipaulin3040]

My question: can the front crotch extension exceed 2? Assuming the hip circumference is 50, the 20th of that is 2.5; may I use that for the front crotch extension and 5, the 10th, for the back crotch extension? Note: some theories assert that the front crotch extension should not exceed 2. Thank you.

[@ifashy]

Yes. It can exceed. It is determined by calculating the hip measurement by 20 and for the back crotch, divide same hip measurement by 10.

[@lwaboshipaulin3040]

@@ifashy thank you

[@Datztreydo]

Thank you for the class...where I think should be corrected is the waist line ,the dart u added 1 inche(0.5 side by side) you didn't add it in the allowance. You only added 2 inches where 1inch was for the zipper and the other for the pocket...please explain

[@sophisticatedateliers2626]

U don’t put dart in trouser front only back

[@sildareid]

I wanted to see a finish pant with that measurements thanks

[@ifashy]

The sewing and finished part is the next post on my page. Thank you 😊

[@DestinyIshima-f9m]

No tigh measurement?

[@shanthinadarajah2124]

When you take measurements do you include ease?

[@ifashy]

Sometimes I include ease on my pattern and sometimes I don’t. I then include it when cutting my fabric

[@seundami5035]

Thanks please the 2inches you took as the crotch is it standard,what if is a plus size

[@ifashy]

The 2 inches I took from the crotch to get the hip line is standard. And The 2.2 inches I took for the crotch was gotten from dividing the hips by 20 for the front and divide by 10 for the back where I used 4.4. Cos the hip I worked with is 44.

[@seundami5035]

Ok thanks

[@christianaolufunke7819]

It's good but a bit confusing for slow learners and beginners Ankle length full length seam allowance I don't seem to understand it. But,thanks

[@tishawright2780]

i thought the same

[@ifashy]

I’ll do a video tutorial on how to take measurements to make it easier for you to understand.

[@igwenagupearl2463]

Will the trouser come out fine without dart

[@ifashy]

Yes. Depends on what you want. 😊

[@Ladespur]

Is the 2” you took to extend the crotch constant pls?

[@ifashy]

It’s not constant. When you divide the hip measurement you’re using by 20., whatever you get is what you’ll use there. And for the back piece you divide by 10.

[@Damtobluv]

Please is there no allowance when transferring to a dress I mean from the hip

[@ifashy]

There is please. Depends on the sewing allowance you use.

[@mauglitz9722]

You said you divided the front hip by 20 for the frount crouch but you only said to go out by 2" and take half inch upwards. Thats confusing. I have to start all over again cause my hip divide by 20 is 2.5 but i used 2 as instructed and it has affected every other measurement . Even you made the mistake of using 2 insted of 2.2 going with your hip measurement.

[@ifashy]

It’s 2.2 pls forgive me. The mistake is in the voice over not the video itself. Thank you for pointing it out. 🙏

[@lwaboshipaulin3040]

Thank you for raising this concern.

[@mecryachioke1160]

The 2 inches added to the crotch area how did you get it,is a standard addition to all hip sizes

[@ifashy]

The 2 inches I took from the crotch to get the hip line is standard. And The 2.2 inches I took for the crotch was gotten from dividing the hips by 20 for the front and divide by 10 for the back where I used 4.4. Cos the hip I worked with is 44.

[@ladimatthew1729]

What if you using hip 60, is 15 not too much

[@ifashy]

It is not too much. The bigger the size the more you’ll add too. To avoid undersizing. Well, it is better for plus size to come for fittings so that errors like these can be avoided.

[@PhoenixInStyle]

Please what is the name of the main fabric for a good professional trouser.

[@ifashy]

I’ll recommend Crepe because it’s very good. There are different types and textures. Just look out for the thick ones.

[@maamekesewaa1903]

Please make your videos downloadable

[@ifashy]

Yes ma

[@DimpleQueen94]

How do you divide dart

[@ifashy]

To take a pant dart, you’ll measure 4inches from the front (aside the sewing allowance) and from there, take 4inches downwards. And on the back, take 4inches from the same middle, and take 5inches down.

[@Adachimelumma-Zinny8]

U said u will cut ur band in slant form but u finally cut it straight

[@ifashy]

Thank you so much for your observation, Please cut yours slant the way it is on the pattern paper. Mine was just an oversight. I’m sorry about that.

[@akinloyeoluwabunmi3071]

Thanks for sharing GOD bless you 🙏 but please the length of your trouser does it reach your navel part coz you said is high waist pants you cut.

[@mariahhudson4878]

You made a dart but you didn’t mention the addition of 1 inch while measuring the waist

[@ifashy]

Yes. That’s a mistake from the voice over. I actually added a 1inch sewing allowance.

[@catherinekamau7242]

Excellent tutorial....where is the thigh measurement though?

[@ifashy]

In this method, the thigh allowance is not really necessary after taking a perfect crotch and hips measurement.

[@lwaboshipaulin3040]

​@@ifashythis is the best method I ever found, it has dismissed for good all the troubles I was experiencing making pants: they could not be ironed due to accusing crotches.

Nice tutorial, but this method is only for someone with a small butt, it doesn't work for one with a full backside

[@valritajones4044]

I agree, I would need to make the back fork larger for a fuller bottom.

The difference is in the measurement. I’ll make a tutorial on plus size pattern drafting.

What about the thigh measurement
