[@DesignerPlacebos]

Tysm wow this is incredible

[@Minion.luvrr77]

Best tutorial I’ve seen!! Looks easy, but I’ll start now to make my Halloween costume, hippie girl. 😁

[@TyKent]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy Sewing!

so hiw

[@janake7]

Bomb ass tutorial! I love them!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@SummertimeMoon]

I see mama had herself a little helper 😊 You should use the scrap piece to make you some pattern weights. It's way better than finding chit on the fly to do it.

[@SharlaStarz]

Love this thanks

[@mniqua8353]

Thank you for this!

[@LauraCourtneyette]

Great tutorial - brought back memories from when my kids were little & I didn't have a work surface large enough to layout fabric and patterns. So just like you, I used the floor (which eventually made my lower back scream). I hope you're pain free and you get a nice big work table soon!

[@TyKent]

Yes ma'am, the struggle is real but I trust the process. 😉

[@DolceFioreRosa]

These are awesome; Thank you!!! ♥️

[@Charlotte869]

[@soupluver4997]

SO MAKING THESE!

[@lolipanda3514]

did u added elastique in the waistband?

[@Sup3RGiRLiVy]

super cute and looks so easy can't wait to try it myself. what stitching do you use when sewing it together and hemming the raw edges

[@_epic_dyslexic_]

These are amazing and came out fabulous but I was more amazed at your ability to wield a yard stick and Sharpie the way you do! As a artist myself, I was gobsmacked how easy you make it look 😂

[@TyKent]

Lol thank you so much!

[@mdcpht75]

genius!!!

[@butterflyqueen9664]

Hello could you do a jean version of these please !!

[@TyKent]

Butterfly Queen I am currently working on an entire bell bottom series creating different styles and using different fabrics. I will be sure to link my denim tutorial in the comment once published. 😉

[@butterflyqueen9664]

Gracias! Aunque se poco de inglés, te entendí muy bien. 😊😊😊

[@TyKent]

De nada! Me alegra que lo entendieras y te ayudara. No, no hablo español con fluidez. Estoy muy bien con google. LOL

[@newchicaontheblock4326]

[@TyKent]

new chica on the block Go to my contact page on my website www.tykentxo.com and send me your size info and we can go from there.

[@Cosmik_ink]

What material is this?

[@TyKent]

Double knit stretch fabric

[@blilloo8410]

@@TyKent i know this video is a bit old but I’m still hoping you see this😥 I’ve searched so many different word combinations for this fabric, striped Aztec stretch fabric double knit. Polyester, Lycra, Ive tried different materials and filters to specify it through searches on various textile websites. Ive found so many prints that have the exact pattern i need but the fabric is completely the wrong material. I really need help on what to search and to know what the composition material of this fabric should be. I doubt you’d remember this specific piece of information but would you happen to know what the product name of the fabric in the video is called. ❤️ thank you so much if you see this comment and decide to respond🙏🏽❤️

[@hopefulnadjer4567]

What would the pattern of this fabric be called, been trying to find some like this for ages and I'm just not finding it. Thanks.

[@TyKent]

Aztec Pattern. I purchased this fabric years ago from Nickoftime Textiles website.

[@hopefulnadjer4567]

@@TyKent thanks. So simple never thought of using aztec in my search. our aztec here in the uk sucks. But thank you.

[@hectorlaurent729]

Hello, did you use a serger machine or a regular sewing machine? You use ball point needle and used zig zag? I’m new and would like to do this correct haha. Thanks! Looked super easy

[@TyKent]

You can use a serger or zig zag stitch. Trace front and back of legging or trace front then adjust back crotch..The fabric should be extremely stretchy for this tutorial because you are using a legging to create the patterns. Always test your stitch settings on scrap fabric before sewing the pant.

[@janinabrugman5406]

How much material would you recommend? I’m about 5’2” and not very big

[@TyKent]

1.5 - 2 yards depending on the width of your flare.

[@michelletiberi861]

Where did you get that cool fabric?? Joann’s is so lame lol

[@bethparker3742]

Good job. Cute.

[@TyKent]

Beth Parker Thank you ❤

[@lysrose6072]

Could you tell me how is called this pattern? I would like to buy some fabric with this pattern but I don't find it. I've tried searching "ethnic fabric", but I don't find anything similar. And what's the material? Lycra? Coton? Thank you :)

[@TyKent]

Aztec Pattern. I purchased this fabric years ago from Nickoftime Textiles website.

[@charlottehodgson1771]

Quick question... When cutting out the four pattern pieces needed - are they all exactly the same pieces? You don't need to cut around the pattern of the back of the jeans? If you get me!?

[@TyKent]

Yes, I understand your question. For this particular tutorial, I am showing you an easy and simple way to create bell bottoms using a pair of leggings. So this is somewhat of an "informal" tutorial where I do not focus on a front and back pant pattern. The fabric to be used in this tutorial is very elastic and stretchy so unless you have a very large buttocks or gap of waist:hip ratio, then using the pattern for both the front and back will still be ok just be sure you understand this tutorial is not for woven/nonstretch or even stiff stretch fabrics. If you need to adjust the crotch to accommodate a bigger buttocks and hip, I would suggest creating a crotch line from the crotch curve to the outer seam, drop it down 1/4" - 1/2" and take it out 1/4" - 1/2". I hope you understood the response. Thanks for watching!

[@charlottehodgson1771]

Perfect!!! Thank you 💖

[@andreafahnestock9349]

I freaking LOVE this tutorial!! Thank you ❤️

[@chai-2866]

I'm really confused :( I got lost during the process of cutting the fabric and stitching. So you have 4 pieces in total? You cut two at a time? Also, do you have to turn the paper over to get the other side of the pants? I'm so confused.

[@TyKent]

I place my fabric on fold before cutting out the pattern pieces. Yes, because I only had one pattern piece for this tutorial, I turned the pattern around to create the back pieces. If you are bigger in your butt and hip area, you can adjust the original pattern by dropping the crotch and deepening the curve. This is a very informal tutorial on how to create bell bottoms.

[@chai-2866]

@@TyKent Thank you so much!! Also, what sewing stitch pattern did you use? And what number did you have your sewing machine on? I think it's the number for how tight the stitches are? I'm trying to get back into sewing and there's a lot that I forgot lol.

[@TyKent]

@@chai-2866 I used a serger but the zig zag stitch on a basic machine is my go to for sewing stretch fabrics. I like for my stitch to be on 2.5 (about medium width and length). I don't like the stitch to be too tight. It start to make the fabric look ruffled.

[@carsonwinters6699]

what kind of fabric did you use? and where did you get it from?

[@TyKent]

It was a double knit fabric I purchased from nickoftimefabric.com (Nick of Time Textiles).

[@carsonwinters6699]

Ty Kent And how much fabric is needed for the adult pair? or how much would i need if i’m 5’4

[@TyKent]

@@carsonwinters6699 Placing the pattern strategically on the fabric you shouldn't need no more than 2 -2.5 yards of fabric. Placing one bell of a cut next to the waist of the other cut will allow you to save fabric but the bell will not be as dramatic.

[@sigrid.koppel]

This is amazing, i love it!!

[@jerryloftin1014]

I wore bell bottoms back in the 60’s…lol

[@TyKent]

They are such a classic and still loved today. Classic fashion just recycles; it never truly ends. A lot of things worn today has already been worn. Fashion is about making clothing your own piece of art. Do you still wear them today or do you leave the trend to the youngins?

[@cheriek60]

You don't need to add any elastic in the waist? The spandex holds them up?

[@TyKent]

Cherie Klein My hip and waist measurements are close in range and I didn't want the elastic waistband look on mine so I didn't use any. I also chose a very stretchy fabric and used elastic thread. You can use elastic but depending on your fabric choice, you definitely don't need elastic. This technique is simply for the use of very stretchy spandex-"like" fabric. I would also add, you don't have to use elastic thread, you can just simply do a zig zag stitch using regular thread.

[@Kevinpdoheny]

Great DIY! Could do without the music though.

[@reignhenderson1831]

WHO ELSE JUST SAW EVA'S AD

[@WilkinsInSpace]

using leggings...... that you have to make

[@TyKent]

You use the leggings to create the pattern. This is a sewing tutorial on how to make bell bottoms by using a pair of leggings to create the pattern for the bell bottoms. Thanks for watching.
