Wide-Leg Pleated Pants Sewing Tutorial // How to Sew Your Own Clothes: Aesthetic DIYs 2020

Fabric:
I’m using a lightweight rayon twill fabric with no stretch. I think anything with a good drape would work. You could even use something with a bit of stretch, but then you may compromise the fluidity of the garment. I used 2 1/2" yards of fabric. It may be different for you depending on your size and height.
MY SEWING EQUIPMENT:
Sewing Machine: amzn.to/3kwMtxx

Scissors: amzn.to/32MZuNv
(psssst... I've purchased so many expensive scissors throughout my life and these ones are both my favorite and the cheapest)
Wrist Pin Cushion: amzn.to/2EgQDtY
Pins: amzn.to/3mM9nmG
(I use plastic head pins during videos so you guys can see what I'm using... but I don't love them. ^THESE are what I use religiously and whenever I am not filming.)

LAHEKAJSHAHAHAHA

[@lat5312]

That’s probably why i got this video in my recommendation lol

[@jigdancer56]

I've been sewing since probably before you were born, and I LOVE this video. You've taken a very complicated process and made it so accessible! Your video is better than 4 pages of written pattern instructions. And the pants themselves are lovely; classic lines, professionally made. Fantastic job my dear!

[@KianaBonollo]

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you liked the video :))

[@Whosae92]

No seriously I screamed when all she did was move the pattern after the pleats were marked she’s a legend now lol

[@happylittlephanny9643]

i have literally never sewn in my life but the pants in in the thumbnail were some of the most beautiful i've ever seen, and i had to click. new sub!! hope to continue seeing you and your channel grow and thrive!!

[@KianaBonollo]

Wow, thank you so much!! :)))

[@latenightphilosophy7012]

Bro straight up this video is a holy grail, I literally FINALLY managed to make my first pair of wearable pants following this!!! Also if anyone wanted to know- I made mine using stretchy velvet fabric so it works with stretchy fabric too!!

[@NandiniGupta1]

this is so wholesome - watching in 2024 and youre so happy about 1k subs... now you have 903 times that - 903k - well done!!

[@alisoncatz]

These trousers are gorgeous! All I wear are trousers like these at the moment - deffo gonna have to make a pair 👍

[@KianaBonollo]

If you make a pair be sure to send me a picture!!! And let me know if you have any questions:)

[@elizabuga4337]

They are so gorgeous, I agree! I was about to say that but you already commented it. :-)

[@alisoncatz]

@@nethranaveen792 I messed up the measurements somehow so they ended up massive and I had to take them in loads! I'm going to include them in a video coming out this week actually ☺️

[@alisoncatz]

@@KianaBonollo I made a video and included the trousers in it! It's actually a video about dressing like Harry Styles, haha. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@MissTsoisauce]

Awesome tutorial, totally going to try this when I get better at sewing. The only thing I would suggest is getting more angles and views of the clothing. I was hoping to see some full body shots of the pants, the back and maybe a bit slower. Other than that, really well explained and gorgeous color.

[@KianaBonollo]

Great suggestion! And I am so glad you liked it :)

[@lylricn6]

Yeah exacly, I agree, specialy in the explaination but thanks anyway, I did the pants, my first one and even if it was a bit of a challenge, it didn't turn out great because of the fabric I used. It was too "fluffy" or "fat" , burdigton or something.And the "scrotch" is marked,there is fold surrending it, so it's a bit like "here is my pubis". Anyway it was fun so thanks again !

[@CollinsVersion]

the fact that you had 1k subscribers 2 years ago and now you have almost 250k just shows how amazing you are!!

[@nurrahmanscarf1842]

Finally, I found tutorial i always expect 😭 thank you so much!

[@KianaBonollo]

Glad I could help!

[@LaineyBug2020]

I love that these can be dressed up or down depending on the fabric. The sign of a great pattern!

[@karinaarriaga8443]

I am amazed as to how well explained this was. I’m a beginner but I’m definitely going to dive into this project. I just bought trousers just like these super expensive so seeing how I can make them on my own I’m kicking myself. So excited to try and will take pictures 😊

[@KianaBonollo]

Well now you can make a second pair!! Good luck!

[@linonations]

I believe this is the most elaborated and non confusing way to explain to a beginner seamstress. Thank you so much, your thumbnail is the most beautiful pants I've ever seen someone may have sewn. ❤💜

[@Serendipity-nh2uk]

I’m so grateful for this video- I was rather really interestef in sewing and when I saw such beautiful pants immediately clicked. It’s like you knew exactly what I wanted. You’re awesome 👏 never stop.

[@sofie2921]

We need a sewing pattern for this! It Looks gorgeous

[@missnejjen]

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Nice job. Thank you for sewing the ends of the waistband like that. That is how I learned to sew and I see all these folks on you tube now not doing that and having bad looking waistbands. Lovely tutorial. And Pants!

[@KianaBonollo]

Amazing , and very detailed

[@ridiculouscuteness3]

This is brilliant, thank you!

[@tamsinrussell9289]

I did that recently for a pair of pjs (copied the pattern) and used a tracing wheel to press tiny holes into some white craft paper at the back then joined together all the little holes to form the pattern - the back was annoying because part of it folds under because it is a larger piece than the front. Loving these vids - inspires me to do more sewing, I am a bit out of practice because I got sick of sewing after finishing my fashion degree. Those pants remind me of a pair that Jodie Comer wears in season 3 of Killing Eve

[@KianaBonollo]

I am glad you're getting inspired again! And I will have to look out for those pants! About to start watching Killing Eve actually

[@marilamar9899]
