[@lorlor2831]

Your pants turned out beautifully. Please don’t listen to people saying your videos are too long. They aren’t, I refer to your videos over and over and am very thankful that you make these ❤️

[@jadeelise7982]

i could watch your videos all day long, no such thing as too long! you are my favorite sewing teacher, thank you for all that you do

[@lyndavis3516]

I would never complain that your videos are too long. I think it’s awesome that you share your knowledge with us all. I always watch, especially when sewing something new. I would really like to see how you go about Block fusing please.

[@euniceh9851]

Too long??? NO WAY! Your videos are EXCELLENT! We can watch as much or as little at a time as we like. Karina you are a Natural Teacher 💖

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you for that. Some people think a 5 min video would be better but there's no way to really teach well in 5 min.

[@thundaera]

I really hope you don't listen to these "videos to long", comments! Your videos are tutorial and superbly informative content presented in a format I wish my home economics teachers would have done years ago. Your's is from actually working with these different patterns, processes and fabrics! Which amazingly you are sharing (seems others have gone to the grave never sharing these tips and golden bits of knowledge), in a format that is so clear and easy to understand! After years of tears, seam ripping, wasted rationed fabrics,trial and error on my own I've learned a few of these techniques. Please continue your long videos, it is a video, it can be paused to continue later! Bless you.

[@LovingHandsDesign]

I for one appreciate the length of your videos. Your explanations are truly needed and I’m a visual learner. Thank you. If the video is every to long, I can always stop it and come back to it during my relaxing time. I appreciate the length when I’m applying your techniques, again it’s appreciated. ❤😊

[@teresacasteel6106]

Your videos are not too long I love the detail you go into Most others I see are missing too

[@louisedavidson848]

Your videos are very thorough never long. People that complain should fast forward or get lessons elsewhere. Great video!! Thx for sharing.

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Gorgeous, trousers I love them. Please don't listen to the moaners I love your videos, it's because of your clear instructions I am able to make something wearable and build my skills. Never change a winning formula. Continue with your fabric magic. Thank You xx

[@J-UK62]

Thank you again Karina. Lovely trousers. Please keep your tutorials as they are. Because like other subscribers I save your videos as my go to detailed instructions. I can now only sew as well as I do because of your tuition so thank you so much 😊

[@helenv2906]

I love your long video. You explain so many things in order to make it right. I have learn so many sewing tips that was missing in order to get a great pair of pants or project. So people that dont like long one can always fast forward it but i live the explanations and your talent. When I watch you it feels like im with my best friend. Thank you for everything you share with us. Happy mother's day!😘😘

[@zenanadancewear]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge... and for doing it in a way that makes is approachable and understandable! I really appreciate that you take the time and go in depth into the subjects. Please disregard those who say the videos are too long. You provide education as well as entertainment, and that takes as long as it takes!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

I, too, love purple. I never would have thought to make purple slacks until you posted yesterday's video. Thanks for all your helpful tutorials, especially yesterday's welt pocket video.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad you have purple as an option now. It’s so lovely :)

[@LogiQuestMan]

I enjoy and learn from your videos. Yesterday and today’s videos are no exception. Your videos are not too long. I can’t wait to make my version.

[@kathilapp1595]

Your videos are never to long because they are so packed with excellent information! Happy Mother’s Day!

[@s.s.8029]

I bought this pattern when it came out and hope to make some capris or shorts for this summer. The linen looks lovely and nice and cool for summer. I love the fact that they do not have a waist band. If people think your videos are too long, they can fast forward or not watch at all. I do come back to your videos time and again because you sew so many of the patterns that I love! Keep up the great work. I love listening to you voice as well.

[@s.s.8029]

And I just went back and bought the Recolleta dress.

[@barbarawarner4645]

I like your long videos. And I like these beautiful pants. You have the best fitting pants!

[@greensilk58]

It’s a statement of appreciation.

[@Aurora-uh9nk]

Great pattern and with yr help I will tackle this pattern . Anyone wanting to try this pattern should purchase from Karina’s Itch to stitch link found in her description box . Thanks Karina for helping us with yr tutorials and many sewing tips ! Happy Mother’s Day to you ! Off to order pattern from yr link . Have a great day !

[@lemtaz]

I love that your front pocket is cut on the bias with the slant on the grain. I do that as well to let the pocket shape to my body better.

[@macquadj]

I love you stories, please don’t stop. You’ve convinced me to try these pants!

[@cleanqueen75]

Gorgeous outfit! Beautiful job on welt pockets!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😌

[@sewingchic]

Another great video. You do such a great job explaining your techniques and reviewing patterns.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad you liked it :)

[@brenholmes4894]

I have learned so much from you and also gained confidence in making simple pattern alterations. Thank you so much.

[@rosaM06]

I love your "long" videos, all your videos for that matter 😉, certainly don't stop! Thanks Karina 😘

[@nancyhurt7145]

Starting a pair of these out of linen, so I was glad to find this! Love the pocket details. Thanks Karina!💕

[@cherylp.3347]

Very nicely done, they look great and professional. I just realised I’ve already purchased that pattern so I’ll have to do my first welt pockets. 😅 I do have a nice fabric for them so I better get stuck into it this week. And thanks for the heads up on the sale. Having a birthday and Mother’s Day in the same week means I have money for my sewing hobby. 😁 used your link.

[@lindafansler7494]

Beautiful pants. Another great video. Thanks for sharing your techniques and tips.

[@bettyhappschatt3467]

I like the intro, this was very helpful because I will have to do the tapering to my pant pattern too. The cats in your muslin are cute.

[@lynnew5619]

I like long videos. If I’m pushed for time, I watch what I can and come back to watch the rest later. Simple. I’m still not confident enough to sew trousers as I am a totally weird shape at the moment! I will one day I’m sure.

[@heatherthrone9999]

You can always practice how to sew pants via a muslin from a old bedsheet.( I have gone up various sizes myself.) So learn how-to now as an exercise. I've been learning still even after many many years of sewing, enjoy the adventure.

[@lynnew5619]

Thanks Heather, I do have an old bedsheet or two. I’ll give it a go.

[@robertafahrni7169]

Love your pants! And love your videos! They are NOT too long! I will be buying this pattern...

[@StitchingDeb]

Karina ~ Wonderful! Also, so good to see you again :) I used the coupon code and purchased the Hermosa Shorts from your link :) Back to my sewing studio and it feels so good!!

[@marykayshatzer3044]

Your videos are perfect and so full of great information. Happy Mother’s Day!

[@nicolemclaughlin9858]

Great video... love the details of all your video... I want to add my comment about people complaining that the videos are too long... just fast forward... its that simple... some of us are new at it... why should we lose out on it.... just fast forward ... it's that simple... otherwise people like me lose out

[@carolinedelisle589]

That purple linen is a lovely colour. What a find.

[@garden4561]

Very helpful video as usual that gives sewers confidence to have a go themselves. That said, I think you need to do something with the front crotch - possibly deepen it just a little.

[@angelarivera914]

Amazing 👏 info so I will tackle pants I haven't in awhile.

[@janedrolet2807]

Thank you once again for your wonderful video.

[@heather3909]

Thank you so much Karina for your fabulous KZbin channel. I have learnt so much from you & now rather than just churning our garments, I take my time and enjoy the process. And yes I even hand baste. I can't decided between the Itch to Stich Upland Trousers and the Love Notions Largo Cargo. My question is more about the fit & not about the differences in pockets.

[@michellepark778]

love the colour

[@vmac5987]

Fantastic super detailed video which is really helpful. I bought these when they were released but have been a bit daunted. Thank you for this great video. PS Definitely not too long!

[@Escape10mom]

Ok, you've convinced me to try these! Used your link to get them 😊

[@yettaloyd507]

Your work is beautiful

[@jorjadiebold5317]

Your pants look great!

[@vernabohnert635]

Beautiful job😀

[@sewsarahstitch]

Gorgeous!! I bought this pattern when it was released but I’m scared of the welt pockets! Now I will look at your tutorial and I love how you show how easy it is to taper the legs. Now to find some nice linen fabric 😊

[@bernadettedizzine7356]

I just ordered this pattern! I’m small in the hip but larger waist/I’ll be looking at your pants video and the welt pocket too. 💕

[@helenhart4778]

beautiful

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😃

[@noradeveuster4386]

Thank you

[@yettaloyd507]

Love your videos thank you

[@ethelbruwer5295]

Hi Karina I love watching your videos. How much ease do you add to the hips when making trousers

[@patriciaharperbarnes1780]

I can’t get the code to work! But happy Mother’s Day anyway 😀 And if they think your videos are too long well go somewhere else 😀 I love your tutorials!

[@valerieevans7034]

I enjoy your videos a lot, and this one was timely, I'm just finishing linen blend pants with a faced waistline. The pattern called for 1/2" ease at the waist, but I guess my fabric stretched because I have an inch ease and the pants won't stay up. You said you wanted 1-1/2 inches waist ease. How does that stay up at the waist on you? Do you ever end up adding elastic or taking in seams? Thanks.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I never have an issue because I have a 10” waist/hip difference and the fullness of my hips start highish... I have a very curvy hip area. That means that my pants never fall down. I have 1” ease here and it’s good. They don’t fall at all. I stabilised the waistline of my pants by stay stitching as one of the first steps, by the way :)

[@alexandranash3947]

Hello! This video was very helpful, but I had question regarding blending sizes! I am using the palisade pants from paper cut patterns, but there is a side to the pants, so 3 total pattern pieces per leg. How would I blend sizes in this case? And wouldn't I need to blend the crotch side as well to adjust for the waistband? Hopefully this won't get lost! I'd love some advice!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Im not at all familiar with that brand or that pattern. I recommend you contact the indie designer with your questions. I don’t own it, do I can’t be held accountable for advice in this case that may not be the most accurate. What I can say is that you don’t blend the crotch on a pattern. You use the crotch size of your full hip size for that.

[@alexandranash3947]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thank you very much for responding!! I'll do that

[@joanneblair2087]

I would love to belong to your patreon group, but cannot afford it. Question: why would you need a ten inch zipper. Isee some many flies in pants that look too long.

[@joanneblair2087]

PS Your trip on grading was excellent

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The zipper is longer because it goes all the way to the top of the pants. There is no waistband here. If there was a separate waistband then the zipper wouldn’t need to be longer. Also it’s easier to sew a zipper when you have extra length at the too because the zipper stop does not get in the way.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m Glad it was helpful.

[@zaymada3228]

Would I also need to adjust the crotch area too ?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I don’t understand the context of your question. Adjusting the crotch is a personal fitting adjustment.

[@zaymada3228]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles sorry, what I mean to say is, I want to adjust my pant pattern by reducing the hips, so I would follow your video on how to do that! But would I also need to scale down the inseam area?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@zaymada3228 I reduced the pants at the width of the legs and not the hips. It’s not the same. If you need a smaller hip size, you need to blend sizes and that usually involves the side seam.

[@zaymada3228]

Ok thank you !

[@atrinka1]

too long??!! Pffft! they can try watching your videos at double speed😉😁😁😁. Great review!

[@robyn3349]

Too long? No way! (Try the pause button, peeps! lol!)

[@greensilk58]

Your videos are long……..thank goodness!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

They are as long as they need to be for the topic to be well demonstrated and explained. I don’t know if this is purely a statement or a critique from your part.
