How to Sew Men's Pants

[@Delhaven01]

Cornelius, I just happened on your channel. As a male trying to learn how to sew his own clothes, it’s been difficult to find a good channel. Yours fills that niche. Thank you so much. I think your content is fantastic and am following along as I sew my own trousers. Looking forward to more projects. Rgds, Scotty.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for the kind words. I happy to hear that my efforts have translated. I appreciate your interest.

@@CorneliusQuiring good Friday evening to you your video was interesting to me beacuse I am new at sewing and I do like to learn more about putting together a pair of pants 👖 the pattern you have made where would I purchase the pieces you used to make the curves on the pant leg do these come with other parts and my I ask what would the name for these items bye 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You should be able to buy it at any fabric and sewing store or even art supplies store. It's called a French curve. Alternatively you can always get online too. Good luck in your sewing!

[@domenicomonteleone3055]

@@CorneliusQuiring Thank you kindly for responding back to me French curve how many are there and do the French curve come in different sizes iam new to sewing but with the Pandemic here in Toronto Ontario we are in another wave the government had to close down many places keep making videos so I could have a better understanding about sewing have a wonderful weekend bye 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW respect back to you

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Yes, you can get all different shapes and sizes. There are "French curve kits" that gi e you all the option. If you go to Google images and search you will see. Good luck!

[@ztyopa]

its 2 am and I have no clue why I watched this entire video, but now I'm so invested I think I'm actually going to make myself a pair of pants. This is a seriously amazing channel.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful, well I'm happy to hear it and hopefully your pants turn out well :)

[@FalseTitle]

Have you made them? If so, howd it go?

[@jonpuleston532]

Cornelius, just spent 2 days in your intimate company following your tutorials frame by frame to create a pattern and make my own pair of trousers. Just wanted to say thank you, you are just a brilliant teacher.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

And a great time time it was indeed, thanks for hanging out :) I am happy that you were able to make yourself some pants and thanks for watching.

[@aaronbrown7217]

As a fellow male sewer starting to make his own clothing I love your tutorials. I'm dyspraxic and the trouble with a lot of tutorials online is that they go too quickly with the steps/instructions for my brain to properly process and don't show clearly enough what they are doing so that I can understand it fully. Your tutorials are precise,clear,visable and most importantly go at a pace of which I can easily understand what you are doing. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do next. (Ps do please make your own sewing/tailoring book)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I am happy to hear you're getting value out of my videos. I am happy to they make sense and work for you. I appreciate you telling me and good luck with your makes. It's great to hear from fellow sewists.

[@go-farm]

I love that your machines aren't high end expensive ones that ordinary people couldn't afford. Mine is a Toyota from the 80s and it's a total workhorse. I just found your channel but after a video and a half I've subscribed because of the way you take time to explain every step

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You are kind. Thank you. I am glad to hear that you appreciate my content and thank you for watching. I agree and I'm happy to hear you've got a machine that continues to work well.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You are so kind, thank you! Just be careful, with such a wonderful comment it may just all go to my head ;) Tehehe. Jokes aside thank you.

[@jinx5349]

One and only " on point, without unnecessary stuffs added in and without selfishly hidden steps" video I've ever seen. Subbed, a nice pair of pants coming up with your guide from scratch, from pattern making to sewing the final product. Made one from old bed sheets to try it out, looks pretty good as someone touching a sewing machine for the first time. Now halfway through making another one for real. Give yourself a medal 🤝🥇, and a pat on the back Sir Cornelius you deserve it, a lot of satisfied comments all over your videos. Will comeback for other projects to learn from you, you are a good teacher.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm happy to hear it. I hope your final pants turn out well and I'm a little jealous that you've got a new machine :) Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! Happy sewing and may you make many a thing.

[@Wilipino]

This has been, not only an amazing sewing tutorial but, an AMAZING TUTORIAL OVERALL.

[@patriciaufferman1533]

Wonderful tutorial!! Your instructions could easily be applied to woman’s tailored trousers as well. Thank you.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well that's just wonderful news. I should remove "mens" from the title.

[@serasee]

@@CorneliusQuiring Agreed. Clothes are just fabric. ; ) These videos are helping me finish sewing some pants for myself (female who wears women's clothes) and for my girlfriend (female who wears men's clothes). I'm merely tweaking the details based on our preferred personal styles. So happy I happened across this channel, you're an excellent teacher!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

@serasee I am happy for you and your partner. Both having pants to your preferences sounds like a great way to be. Thanks for a bit of your story.

[@beniaminrichter6831]

It's baffling to me, that this channel doesn't have more subscribers. The quality of the content when it comes to the sheer knowledge supmemented by the editing and consequent graphic design and adorable sense of humor make me wish that we'll be keeping on seing more from Cornelius. As a guy who wants to start sewing I find this kind of content quite hard to come by.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You are too kind! I am glad that you appreciate my efforts and I will continue to put out content. Slowly but sure I figure is how we grow the audience until eventually, we reach the tipping point :) Thanks again.

[@HealthStartAustin]

Hello Cornelius! I've been sewing clothes for me about a year, occasionally sewing for others. For Hanukkah, my son wanted updated Oxford Bags. I figured, how hard could it be. The patterns I found were awful, with little instruction or instruction for historical reproductions. Your site saved me. After creating a new pattern based on the ones I found I needed basic construction guidance. Thank you so much for your clear, fun, thorough visual and spoken instructions.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

How wonderful. Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself and congratulations on figuring out how to make the pants you wanted for your son. I hope that your son is happy with what you made. You are a wonderful person for making the effort.

[@TheMonika858]

Love the humor and the meticulous explanation for the process. Recently I've been trying to figure out a front fly zipper for my pants, and so it happens you popped up on my feed. Ouff what a pleasure to watch this one!

[@g_young_h]

You're doing god's work here my guy. As someone that cannot stand tutorials that skip steps on small details - you've done a wonderful job. I'll be buying a serger soon, as I plan to make some of my own clothes in the near future.

Thank you so much for making this video, and the one for drafting the pattern. There is such a lack of this type of content for menswear -and videos like yours are a huge help for those like me who are learning this stuff on their own. Could you please consider making a video for a shirt pattern/block and the assembly? Thanks again and keep up the great work 😄

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I am happy to hear that you feel my content is of worthwhile. My goal has been to fill the void you described, so mission accomplished. I certainly plan to do the same for tops one day, however the next handful of videos are going to be a bit more "selfish," but I plan to do it eventually. Thanks for chiming in.

[@Doctor_Al]

One thing I appreciate is that you're turning out high quality garments on a sewing machine anyone can find at a thrift store for $20 or $30. Really shows that it's the workman not the tools that turn out quality.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well said.

[@Jamoca5020]

There´s a saying which stays forever in my head: "If you can´t afford nice things, then you still can build it." Thank you a lot Cornelius. Your channel is exactly what I needed. I never have sewed my own clothes from scratch, but I always loved the Old Money Style. Except that I can´t afford Chinos for 60-80€ or Finer pants for 100-130€. In past I rather have bought clothes made them to fit. It was a way for me to look good without spending too much. But this tutorial is just on point and so detailed. Thank you a lot.

I LOVE IT! "Do it before it becomes a chore". That's greaaaaaat! I'm adopting that scripture. I read this book called the PEP method. It was all about working effcientcy (back when I used to work, tee hee, I'm retired!) and it had almost a mantra "DO IT NOW". I love your mom's scripture, "Do it before it becomes a chore". That needs to be a plaque hanging somewhere.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

Glad to see a curved waistband here, I don't think I've had men's pants with that before but I discovered a while ago that those stay up over my lack of hips with no room between rib and hip better than a straight one when I'm making skirts! I had some stretching issues with mine where it's on the bias so what I did was make sure my two layers were rotated from each other so that anywhere one's on the bias, the other's not. Kinda works! Would probably work even better if I could find my interfacing. Next challenge (I try to have no more than one new challenge per project), a fly! I'm barely adequate at skirt plackets and I've practiced welt pockets on some of my wearable mockups. And I'll be coming back to watch this again next skirt placket, that's a lovely crisp corner on the waistband!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

The idea of swapping the direction to account for the bias is a great solution. Thank you for sharing!

[@audreyjohnson8662]

Wow! That looked so easy. Pity one doesn't get patterns in the material shops anymore here in Gauteng, South Africa.And I just happened to look at something else when I came across your tutorial!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you for watching.

[@Minder666]

Holy shit! This was amazing to watch. I know nothing about sewing, and now I want to sew my own pants. Definitely need to teach my daughters to sew too.

[@EHGMtl]

Hi Cornelius! I've watched several of your videos and they are terrific! Thanks to them I think I'm finally able to make better a better zipper fly. That's what I've been having the most trouble with. Someone told me that you're in Montreal... if that's correct, then Hi from a fellow Montrealer! I just started sewing at the start of Covid and sewing has become a passionate hobby for me. I now own 7 sewing machines! Addicted? Who me?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Once you get another 7, then we can start talking addiction :) Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you appreciate my content. I've been to Montreal, but I reside in Toronto currently :) Happy Sewing.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice, thank you for watching and I'm glad you appreciated the final effort.

[@dimitrie17]

This gentlenan has taken the time to respond to every. single. comment he has received. And also, not even one of them is a bad comment. This is just a Rara Avis. As for tailoring, I have already tried few methods I came across on internet, but with no big success at all. The instructions were not clear and thus I have always ended up frustrated and thinking that I am wasting my time, and also that all the money I have invested in the sewing machine, the serger, the fabric and all the other stuff is just a waste, since I am not able to do it. After all this, I get again to the conclusion that I must succeed somehow. I must learn how to tailor my clothes, I have no choice. I will never be content with myself until I am able to wear in my day to day life classic costumes that fit me 100%, all made by by self, with my bare hands. (And a sewing machine :D) All this cycle has repeated a few times now, tomorrow I am starting again, with your tutorial this time! Since I have the previous experiences, I know what were my sticking points, and I can tell if there's something I would not be able to replicate, due to a lack of understsnding of the tutorial, but none of that in your clips, sir! I am so enthusiastic about trying it tomorrow! And last but not the least.. THANK YOU, SIR. Thank you for helping me and all the others who need your help. You are a beautiful soul! :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am very flattered and humbled by your comment. Thank you! I wish you all the best in your sewing journey too. I have faith in you learning how to conquer this goal of yours and make what your hear desires. Do share how it ends up going for you.

[@kelllauget6813]

Cornelius, you are the best! Your videos are so detailed and so pleasant to listen to. I have been sewing professionally for many years but I always learn from you and love to listen to you since I discovered you ina reel from Moods fabrics. I hope i see you one day at tje store.😊❤

[@CorneliusQuiring]

A compliment of the highest order! Wouldn't it be wonderful to run into each other at the store.

[@romantra1311]

Just started some DIY shoes and thought to invest in a sewing machine today to make that process easier. Then thought, might as well do clothes too. This gives me so much more appreciate for pants crafting. Wow!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice, it sounds like you've got plenty to make in your future. I also want to make shoes! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@rachelking2086]

that's the best way to do a welt pocket I've seen so far

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad to hear it!

[@gleann_cuilinn]

I've only ever sewn for myself (all skirts, no trousers), but I'm about to make my boyfriend a seersucker suit. Because of my inexperience I have a really hard time wrapping my head around trousers, so this video is very helpful!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching and may the suit turn out as you hope!

[@marcostsegaye7864]

Thank you very much Cornelius. I have never ever seen this kind of detailed presentation on this profession before. Again thank you. And, if you can please share us every detail of measurements also please. 👌

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am happy to hear that you appreciate my content. Thank you. If you want to learn how to draft pants, just check my page, the video before this one is all about that. Thanks again.
