Very Easy Lounge Pants On Singer Overlocker | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵🌸

[@Romcom356]

Made these,. So easy , BUT as a very new overlocker virgin, I chickened out of taking out one needle etc. to do the hems. But, 3 hours from deciding to make them to wearing them. I will be making more. Thank you.

[@AbisDen]

That’s awesome 👏🏽 thank you for letting me know

[@Starshine1Stacey]

Thank you Abi for your fab videos. I have been lurking her for a while learning and taking it all in, now I’m ready and have been gifted an overlocker by my MIL who doesn’t use it any more. Yippee 🥳 so now I can try our your brilliant projects and these pants are high up on my list! Can’t wait. Thanks to you xx

[@comalley4825]

Hi Abi, you've got such a lovely approach. I've just bought my first over locker and was scared to use it. You make everything look easy which is very encouraging to us beginners. Your presentation and instructions are excellent. It's obvious you put a lot of care and thought into your videos. I've got my measurements for pants and machine cover done and ready to go. Please keep doing your videos. Thank you so much, Catriona

[@AbisDen]

C O'Malley thank you Catriona, such a lovely feedback. I really do hope I’ve helped, keep watching. I’m having a give away soon as a thank you to my subscribers 💕✂️🌷

[@julesa181]

Hi Abi, I came across your initial video for getting to know your overlocker and love your very easy way of explaining things and your demonstrations. Your presentation is spot on and allows a beginner like me to keep up. These trousers look a fab startler project and I look forward to making them especially going to try out that blind hemming technique it gives such a lovely finish with little effort - defo a winner in my book. I will be looking out for more of your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your techniques😁

[@thomasinagoss5904]

I sew my pj regular first. Now that I see the video you make it look so easy. It’s my first time with the serger. It ‘s set in the box for two years. I love the way your lounge pant came out it look professional done.

[@AbisDen]

Thank you. I hope you get the machine out and sew. Let me know how you get on with it 💕

[@Maridith2]

What a great technique for a waist casing! Thank you!

[@inthekitchen8842]

Love these pants! So interesting how you made your own pattern. I'm going to try this. I would suggest making a pattern on paper first. It is easier to see for the students. Thank you for your instructions. Keep making vids!

[@AbisDen]

Great tip. I don’t keep patterns myself because I change it every time I make something for myself but yes. Definitely great tip 👍🏽

[@mysticwillow333]

Hi I think I might give this a go as I'm quite new to the overlocker my hubby got me a Bernina about two years ago now, thankyou for sharing this video x

[@AbisDen]

Lovely machine. What a good hubby! 🌷🧵✂️ happy sewing and let us know how you get on

[@944gemma]

Love this video. Actually, I love all your videos. A born teacher.

[@elizabethmcfall1232]

I made them according to your formula using my hip measurement of 48" but they were enormous. Luckily there was lots of room to take them in so I cut off the seams and recut them using your 40" hip formula and they are perfect. Such a quick and easy sew. I've already another pair on the cutting table. I'm sure the problem was because of the very stretchy fabric I used.

[@lindaa8822]

Great video again Abi, I’m learning lots - I’ve never tried blind hemming so that’s next on my list x

[@juliablackpearl]

U have golden hands! I'm your fan 😍 thnx so much for sharing your pattern!

[@Evohoy]

I love love love this. I am so going to try them out. Your blind hemming has really interested me because it gives such a professional finish to hems. Thanks for this video Abi.

[@AbisDen]

Thank you so much for your support! Please do Evelyn, i’m excited to find out how you get on let me know 🌷✂️🧵

[@rebit6511]

Hey Abi, thanks so much for this tutorial. What would really help me is to have a diagram of the trousers illustrated on your notepad, with the measurements and CL for instance labels written on as we progress. I struggle to transpose what I am seeing on the fabric, as it's inside out and not resembling trousers! into what section of the actual garment I am looking at and how that translates to my own body! or even a miniature sample version of the trousers, which you turn inside and out orientating the stages. Sorry if this seems to make your demo's slightly longer and more detailed, but am I really the only beginner who struggles with this orientation of the cut out on the table, or pattern and the finished item?!!

[@dollydaydream5839]

You are so clear with your instructions.I bought the same overlocker and I was very scared of it... and reading the manual was not easy... but having found your channel I can now use it easily so Thank you.

[@samanthaperkins5505]

I just got given a industrial overlocker and I am so glad I have come across your video,

[@denishill4372]

Hi Abi, many thanks for doing these tutorials. I have just bought an overlocker, Jaguar 2015, no previous experience other than making face masks with filters on a normal sewing machine. and have made a pair of these pants, in half a day after making a quick zipped bag.Thanks for the great explanations. I made the pattern with weed control cloth, because I have loads of it! Keep making the vids, I will try to catch up and get up to date.

[@MrDrp1983]

Awesome teaching, I'm never going to make these but this was still fascinating and really well out together.

[@avalonsattic7294]

Going to try this for my daughters! Great tutorial.

[@AbisDen]

Wonderful!

[@christinesmutek3856]

Thankyou. You make it look so easy I’m a “newbie” but will have a go. You explain things really well and I have learned new techniques. 👍

[@janethatfield6277]

Love your tutorial Abi I must get on & do some sewing you are encouraging me to get going thank you for sharing. X

[@AbisDen]

Thank you for your feedback, it’s important I know the videos are helping so I can keep on making them for you 🌷✂️🧵

[@brendaeves3236]

I’m going to use this method for Summer trousers and thanks for the blind hem technique shown.

[@christinsley3172]

Thank you so much , I’m now having a go making the overlocker cover and will let you know how I get on . Plus will try and make the pants , but probably need to see again regarding the measurements . Love the waist band and hem. Keep making the videos please . Had my in the box for over two years !!!! Until I was asked to help making scrubs . Which I did all the overlocking then passed them to someone else to finish sewing them up . Now I’m so keen to keep using it . Thank you again .

[@joannet.9704]

Hi Abi just found your channel. I’m quite new to sewing and just been gifted a new overlocker. Been having trouble using it getting very confused with tension, fabric getting stuck, etc and gave up with it all as sometimes it’s good and then it goes wrong, like you explained in your other videos on maintenance and fixing issues and understanding how they work. I’m determined today to get back on my overlocker and give it another go and not be so scared of it haha and hopefully I would like to lounge pants. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your videos. Thank you

[@AbisDen]

How are you getting on?

[@bcvahsfam]

Very helpful! I like your style. I am going to try this project soon.

[@AbisDen]

Amazing, I’d love to hear how you get on!

[@lauragreer5240]

Great tutorial. Lovely fit. Thanks for the video

[@christineomalley9468]

Just made a pair , worked out great and will be making more , THANKYOU

[@AbisDen]

Brill. If you’re on Instagram, tag me so I can see, #sewwithabi xx

[@christineomalley9468]

H Abi, I don’t use Instagram, so can post picture, but also want to thank you for giving me the confidence to do the blind hem, I was very nervous about that part of the pants, but I did really well and was a little bit proud of myself 😆 THANKYOU

[@libertestraw5991]

Hi! Fantastic tutorial, Ill be definitely giving these a go! What fabric did you use for the pants please? Xx

[@sabeena011]

Hello. I have this machine, bought over a year ago and not used it yet. Been intimidated by the thought of using it! 😂 but you’re videos make it look easy. I’m not able to find your video on how to thread the singer overlocker or how you drafted your jersey trousers? Thanking you in anticipation. xxxx

[@slairdandraful]

I get my serger tomorrow. I m so looking forward to making these. Thank you

[@darylcatherineholt7852]

Thankyou! Basic is what i need!

[@jeanettebadger8141]

Very nice pants to relax while watching TV or on the computer at night!!

[@sutosew]

Just discovered your channel, don't know how I have missed you, liking what I see so far, thank you. I have an oldish Janome overlocker, I'm guessing they are almost the same!!! I also have a old Toyota, that one I leave set up for when I need to do a rolled hem.

[@jeanblunn3161]

Thanks for this great idea!

[@Sue.242]

Loving your videos. I’m very new to overlooking but really enjoying your tutorials. Thank you

[@AbisDen]

Thats fab, I hope you'll learn lots and let me know if there's anything you'd like to see. Thanks for commenting.

[@annigjestaples8997]

Thank you for sharing. I am definitely going to try this!

[@nenesterling6477]

Lovely, just bought my very fist over locker..... so needed to see this

[@susansaunders5241]

I made these but with pockets they are great.

[@LuzMartinez-if1dw]

Thank you for the tutorial, i really like your top , did you make it. If so what pattern did you use and is the fabric a woven or a knit , the top you have on with the finished pants thank you again 😊

[@AbisDen]

Hi there. Here’s the top made with a stretch knit. Part 1 Draft and Cut Easy to Make a jersey top on an overlocker | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵🌸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnyyc5ifj8p6a6M I draft a lot of my own loose fitted clothing. It’s very easy. Have fun

[@jimhooper4252]

These Videos are so great especially for numpty beginner blokes like me ...and it’s nice to see you face Abi ....many thanks

[@AbisDen]

Thanks for your feedback Jim 🌷 I’m sure you’re not as bad as you make yourself out to be. Have a go and let me know how you get on 😊I should have said in the video this pattern is for men and women 👍🏽

[@leedavis5958]

Thanks for this video Abi. I am just starting out.

[@elizabethmcfall6531]

I know this is an older video but I've just found it. I love the idea of drafting my own pattern. Do you think this would work with woven fabric?

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

Good tutorial. I liked the way unusual stoped and raised the needles. I have a Singer overlocker. It’s probably me but I found it hard to hear you.

[@terriwills0]

Brilliant tutorial thankyou x

[@teresaelliott2991]

Excellent teaching!

[@AlejandrasLife]

Love watching your videos Abi. Thanks

[@Lola.004]

Thanks so much for sharing Abi. I’m new to your channel and am excited to get started. I’m pretty good at sewing but have never used a serger. I inherited a singer 14 U344B/354B. Is it any good? I know it’s old but I had an old pfaff sewing machine for 30 years and it was in fine working order. What do you recommend?

[@jeangreen3619]

Brilliant video I love my lidle singer surfer.

[@sutela2060]

Thank you i will try this🙏❤

[@dcwatashi]

I’m surprised you didn’t include the link to the previous video so I have to go and search and hope that I am watching the correct one that precedes this one

[@AbisDen]

understand that! I'll add that :-)

[@dcwatashi]

@@AbisDen when you are selling the service such as people watching your KZbin videos do you want to provide them a link otherwise they will go off somewhere else and they may not come back to your particular channel 👍🏼🙂

[@cathymackay5534]

That was amazing! I'm terrified of maths but I may just try this...xxx

[@AbisDen]

You can do it!✨

[@jesshothersall]

Am I right or wrong in thinking you're using the standard presser foot, and not a blind hemming foot? Mine arrives tomorrow, and I haven't bought any extra feet with it?

[@verrado1439]

Great Video! Learned so much. Made the pants, lounge style! What pattern is your top, it is very nice!

[@AbisDen]

Thank you, that’s my 80’s throwback top x another video to follow x

[@juliesneap3809]

Hi Abi, do I need separate Jersey needles for my Singer overlocker, when sewing stretch fabrics, or can I use my Jersey needles from my Singer sewing machine. Thanks keep the blogs coming x

[@Santituan]

Depends on your Serger model. But with Singer I’ve read most likely you will have to use special Serger needles. So not the ones you use on your regular sewing machine.

[@DebbieShort]

Hi Abi, these look super easy and excited to make them as a beginner. Thinking they would look good for my slightly oversized bridesmaids. Could you suggest a simple floaty top to go with them please. Also what type of fabric could you use, as in what’s it called? 😊

[@AbisDen]

Hi Debbi. I wear knit tops, for these pants I used scuba but any knit is lovely 🥰

[@DebbieShort]

@@AbisDen will search for Scuba fabric, I'm a complete dressmaking novice, your teaching style is so comprehensive, defiitely delving into your channel. Thank you :)

[@MrJoannio]

They are lovely got to watch your tutorial. On blind hemming . Scared

[@Askthedog12]

Your videos have inspired me to get an overlocker. Thank you. Can you recommend any threads to buy please , i am in the uk x

[@AbisDen]

Sarah J hi Sarah 👋 I use moon threads mostly. You should be able to pick them up for 99p each from most places.

[@jaynefederici9140]

Hi Abi, can you tell me what needles you use for your LIDL overlooker please? I can't seem to find any for stretch fabric. Are you supposed to use the universal ones.

[@lucillewong1161]

[@smould1]

Did you use a special foot for the blind hem?

[@barispeksen5043]

Would you let us know the settings of tensions? What number should we set for the tensions? There are 1- 9 so many options and i cant not be sure when i try to use my serger for sewing pants. Thank you🙏🙏

[@AbisDen]

Baris Peksen set everything back to factory settings. All tensions should be set at 4 if you’re on a brother or singer overlocker or 3 on a kenmore or a Janome. ... differential feed of 1.0 and stitch length at 3.0. If you find there are loops hanging over... watch this.... Looper Threads Hanging Off Serger and Overlocker kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZLKoZeVealgias. I hope that helps.

[@emilydowling5970]

Your demo is with stretch fabric. Would your process be different when using cotton fabric?

[@AbisDen]

Thanks for that. It’s the same method as shown here when I made hubby a pair Very Easy Lounge Pants for Men - Draft and Cut | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵🌸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWHOcmOpn9mZqKc

[@sandraporto2705]

Just started watching ur videos and love them. I been wanting to make these type of pants and now have the nerve to try. Only thing I understand your measurements except the divide by 5.5 can u explain this to me?

[@AbisDen]

Sandra Porto it’s a number I’ve come to having extrapolated figures from commercial patterns and figures from books. I’ve worked this magic number out to make it easy for people to create your own pattern. It’s not scientific but it’s similar to pi.

[@sandraporto2705]

Thank you

[@juliestares4205]

Thank you, I have just bought my first serger and am learning how to use it. This video was very helpful.

[@angelabrooker7514]

Help please, needle fell out, put it back in but needle clamp won't tighten and hold needle in, have to use an alum key to tighten, but just won't tighten up on my singer overlock s14-78 from liddels

[@elizabethmcfall1232]

These are so easy to make and wear. The only thing missing is pockets. Any ideas how pockets could be added?

[@AbisDen]

Ooh. Good idea! Let me have a think. I don’t have pockets in my pjs 🫣

[@elizabethmcfall1232]

@@AbisDen they're brilliant as PJs but I use them as lightweight trousers on my holidays. They pack up into nothing in the suitcase and are so light and airy in the heat

[@AbisDen]

Fabulous. X

[@lynnsalmon8917]

Hi What type of materiał did you use for these pants Please ?

[@AbisDen]

I used a light weight scuba x

[@dryka9032]

Thank you for the video. I will try it. What thread did you use to sew this pants because I’m a beginner, and I just got my serger.

[@AbisDen]

Adriana Ferreira thank you for your comment. I mostly use Coats moon thread

[@marisiyekoretin7743]

How much I need one

[@lindamcneely]

what pattern did you use?

[@AbisDen]

I made my own. See link :-)

[@fleisigeslieschen]

Klasse.

[@sabeena011]

Another question - when you did the hem at the top of the pants did you use the knife?

[@triptoparisboutique3813]

My stitches are coming out too loose

[@dcwatashi]

When she was sitting down you could see that the fabric was creasing a lot on the diagonal on the inside but again these are just loungewear

[@AbisDen]

Ooh, it may have looked it, but these are not twisted or offline. It will be just the way i held it in that instance :-) You can tell by the fit, the seam wouldnt sit right

[@dcwatashi]

@@AbisDen I am going to finish tracing a pair of knit pajama bottoms that fit me and it’s going to be four pieces then I will try your method where it’s just one inside seam. And I know this is for beginners but most people will sew the inside legs in first and then sew the crotch but I understand that can be a little tricky

[@carolinemacleod6528]

Just found this. Love it.

[@AbisDen]

Glad you like it!
