Wonderful. Thank you very much with all the patient tips and tricks.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate this complicated process.
I'm so glad it was useful! Let me know if you need help in any other spots.
Kudos to your videographer. He has a steady hand and great camera work. I hope you made him some nice comfortable clothes to wear. Cheers
Thank you very much! He does dress well.
Came for the guide to making fall front trouser but stayed for the helpful tips peppered throughout - thank you!
thanks for stopping by
I actually just wanted to know what a fall front is constructed like, but you had so many helpful tips that I found myself watching the whole video. Thank you so much! Really incredible work :))
Thank you!
Obrigada Kelly!
Brasil❤.
👍🌹♥️
Fantastic video!! Kelly, you truly are THE BEST!! You explain and demonstrate each step so clearly, and you make it look so easy. Your work is absolutely phenomenal! 🥰❤ Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Janet!
This is the most amazing video I have seen!! I appreciate all the hand stitching. Can you suggest an accurate pattern for these?
thank you for your kind words. Henry Cooke sells top quality patterns through various places. Message him through facebook to find out more information. If you belong to a unit or living history group, they may also have patterns. Also, if you are courageous, you could scale one up from Norah Waugh's Cut of men's clothing, which has images of drafts all over Pinterest.
This is an excellent video! And so helpful with getting the placket placement and attachment correct.
Thank you, glad to help!
Making trousers right now! Going to use this to help me along the way!
I'm glad this might be useful!
Thank you! Perfect instructions!! Best I've see.
I'm glad they were helpful!
What pattern do you use? I'm in search of a better one than I use.
@@janmarietta4032 I draft all my own patterns to fit the client.
I want to apologize for the many microphone scrapes during this video.
You do a beautiful job of recording! Thank you! 🤩❤
@@janethenry1405 This video was challenging because I had very little storage room in my phone. so we did many short takes.
@Pierre Longtin(Onix1962) You did a wonderful job, though, as you always do! 🤩
Such an amazing video! Do you have one that shows how to attach the waistband to the pants?
Sorry, no. I tend to sew the waistband on the top three edges to the lining with a fell stitch. Then I stitch the lining to the wrong side of the waist, then top stitch the fashion side. I can do a video of that this Fall.
Just found your videos thanks for the information. I live in Kentucky and can't find fabric for men's jacket revolutionary war era. We only have Joann fabric. Is ther a online site for fabric you recommend and what fabric to use. thank you for all the information.
Hello, shopping for fabrics can be a long game. In the US, you can order from Burnley and Trowbridge in Virginia and Wm. Booth, draper in Wisconsin. Joanne's might have wool in winter months, not in summer. Mood Fabrics in New York may also carry Wools from time to time. In Canada, you need to look in Toronto on Yonge, or in Montréal on Saint Hubert
Hello, this is the 3rd time I am watching this video, well done by the way. I am new to sewing period clothing, at least cloth , I made a lot of leathers, mountain man type. So, I do want to make the same type of britches as shown here. Is there a pattern that is available? I got one from a seller down by colonial Williamsburg, Va. I am not liking the front flaps, they seem much smaller than yours, ca I simply alter them to make them larger? Also, the sizes available were a bit small for me, I am interested in knowing how to up-size a pattern correctly. I know this may be a bit much, but, can you give me a bit of guidance on how to build a fine pair? Thank you in advance, Paul
Hi Paul, I cut my own patterns. I base them on historical garments, but are cut to the human I am sewing for. Pattern cutting is proportional. You can alter the width of the fall, or the length, depending on the person you are cutting for, the date you are trying to replicate, and the cloth you use. As for sizing up or down, make a cross-shaped cut through each of the pattern pieces and spread apart as needed, then redraw the outside lines. Mock them up in cotton and see how they fit and adjust the pattern so that you have a master pattern that fits you. Then you'll be off to the races!
@@kellyarlenegrant Thank you so much for the information, I am adjusting a pattern for britches as we speak, I am going to try to change the top edge to follow yours, rather than the double step down that the pattern is calling for, I will let you know how I fare on this venture, thank you, Paul.
Knots not required just take a couple of back stitches.
we can disagree on that one.
