#dressmaking #handmade #withme
In this sew and tell video, I am sharing with you my new trousers I made. The Jenny Pants by Closet Case Patterns. Well, what a mission that was making them, 4 hours to insert a zip! I eventually fathomed it out and really love the style now that they are made. I learned lots of things along the way which is good. My dressmaking journey and sewing projects is taking me on an amazing ride so far.
Join me in my latest sewing report for chatter, fashion sewing inspiration and my thoughts and issues I had with this pattern. All good fun!

Wishing you and John well. I hope he is able to get a walker, I have one with a seat that folds up or down. Bless you for continuing to sew your trousers. My best to you all, be safe and be well. Take good care.
I so appreciate your honesty in the sewing hiccups you went through, I've only been sewing for 11 months and I get frustrated when I have trouble with a pattern and have to unpick everything, thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Let me just tell you how completely refreshing it is to see a sewing video about the mistakes and struggles you had on this project. As a quilter who is just learning to sew clothing, every video I watch makes me feel like an idiot because they present things as if all steps are so simple... THEY'RE NOT. I'm doing quite well making progress in sewing garments, but still have much to learn. THANK YOU for telling the truth instead of making it all seem like peaches and cream. Your pants turned out just beautifully! They were worth your effort and frustration. When I encounter a project that gives me fits like this one gave you, I'm going to think of you and how nicely your pants turned out so that I don't give up.
Oh thank you so much for your lovely comments Melissa Jayne x
Bless you, what week you’ve had! Trousers turned out in the end, they look great 😄 Look after yourselves and good luck with the new machine 😀 x
maybe the cat was trying to warn you Jane! The trousers look great 10/10 for perseverance. John sounds like a lovely man, he obviously appreciates you , take care.
I think he probably was Catriona .... but all’s well in the end 🤣😘
I love how disciplined you are... me I would have packed it away till the next week or maybe month or even year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Juliet .... I can’t leave a sewing project undone cos it would drive me crazy ... they were worth it in the end 😘
I feel your pain!, 3/4 of the stuff I sew gives me those kind of night mares! I don’t know why I still persevere! I think I’ll steer clear of those pants! You do look great in them! But of course with your nice figure you look great in all your clothes!
Oooooh!!! Can’t wait to see the knickers!!!!! 😀
Just found your channel and you are one determined lady! 🤗 I am stubborn too ... erm ... determined! 😂
About your troubles with the zip: I've learned a neat trick from a tailoress (pattydoo, a german sewing vlog) to make bulky seams behave better. Put a scrap fabric piece over the bulk and hammer it flat. How much force you will need to use depends on the fabric but a denim should take a fair bit of "beating" and you'll find it easier to sew over the bulk. Hope this helps for the next one!🤗
All the best for you and your husband😘
Lovely pants and I love listening to you talk about your life.
Thank you so much Cathy 😘
Trousers looking fab! Also you do too!! What perseverance!!! Well done you!!! 😀
Thank you Sharon .... I feel amazing 🤗
Ooooh !!!! How exciting!!!! Can’t wait to see your cover stitch machine!!! Also hoping that your dear husband is recovering well xxx He sounds like a lovely man 😘 xxx
Hi Sharon ... he’s ok but had another fall 🤨 so he’s getting a walking frame tomorrow hopefully this will help him ... my cover stitch arrived yesterday it’s amazeballs 😘
Beautiful)
Hahaha God what a disaster sounds like me not so much with sewing but last week had to install new printer like you read instructions word for word the computer wouldn't recognise the printer language was thick and fast but 4hrs later installed it so proud of my self. next morning went to print out pattern glanced down at the box the printer came out of, had a completely different to the number to the number on instructions. Looked up the number yes you guessed 5minute installation so I feel your pain. You are so much like me. Haha Cheers Tricia from Australia.
Hi Tricia ... it’s all good fun in the end isn’t it 😘
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your trousers are gorgeous - what a story! I'm in the process of making my first Pietra pants after making a muslin and had to go down a size too.
I hope your husband is getting better and that you will find a walking aid that will keep him safe. Happy sewing!
Hi thank you so much ... we’ve got john a walking frame which is a great help 😘
Oh Jayne, we’ve all been there in not always reading the instructions! You are so patient - I would have launched them out the window 🤣🤣But what a great pair of pants! You look so trim and they look bloody gorgeous on you. 😍😍❤️. I am making the Pietra pants - just done a muslin to sort out fit and will be cutting them out tomorrow - if the garden doesn’t win over the sewing machine ❤️ A good basic vest pattern is the Love Notions Summer Basic. Sorry to hear that John is not so good atm, seems like her really does need some additional support re stability. But you are keeping upbeat and that goes a long way ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne .... he’s got a zimmer frame coming tomorrow so that should help him ... we are always upbeat because that’s the only way to get through it all ... he wants go faster stripes adding 🤣😘
The slacks fit you perfectly and I love the color. I tend to stay to grey black and navy pants, wish I could get up the nerve to wear coloured slacks,
Joanne you must try different colours you will love how wonderful they make you feel 😘
Wow, we all have garments makes like your trouser. It doesn't stop us making the next garment though, does it! Primark, well, I have never really liked them but less so these days. It bothers me how cheap they sell clothes, I shudder at how much they must be paying the machinists to make the garments. Plus when you look at the fabric, it i very shoddy. Hope that John is coping well. Thank you for doing these videos.
Hi Christine , yes you are so right about Primark ... john is using his walking frame which is helping loads 😊 .... I’m loving all the sewing challenges its what makes you learn even more 😘
@@TheDressmakersCloset I am still so far behind in watching all these videos. So pleased that John got his walking frame, I am sure that it will put your mind at ease. I have been sewing on and off for about 60 years and have learnt so much in the past 2 years since I found YOuTube than in all the years previously. I just pounded on without really thinking too much about what I was doing and hoped for the best!
Your story made me chuckle. Not because I enjoyed you having problems but because those are the typical things I’d do. I often take 2 hours to do something that it’d take 20 minutes to do. I love the trousers and the fit is gorgeous they’re worth the trouble you went through 😊 I wanted to add that I made similar trousers (the Shannon collection by Simple Sew) and I used an invisible zip which I wonder whether it may be easier with the denim. Also the zipper foot of my machine is thinner but i have a 1960s Singer.
Oh I never thought of an invisible zip ... I will try that next time 😘
Aww Jayne what a mare you had with those trousers!! They do look amazing so I'm glad you persevered with them. I'd have been getting so cross. I do have the overalls on my list to make so it was interesting to hear of the woes you experienced, you did make me laugh though.
So sorry to hear about your husband's fall, I hope he is now on the mend. It's so lovely to hear how upbeat you both are. My husband's the opposite of me spending money on sewing, he just says I'm a spender like my mum lol! However you definitely do deserve that machine 😘. Xx
Thanks Karen ... he’s got a Zimmer frame now which is helping ... new machine is AMAZEBALLS 😘
Love the pants 😊 Would love to hear about your haberdashery shop days, I’m wondering if it was in the a North East, fairly new subscriber but love your style JJ 😊
Great suggestion! Yes it was in Norton, Stockton on Tees where I had my shop for over 9 years .... I will make a little vlog Jayne x
I ordered a "narrow" zipper foot at Sewing Parts online. My machine is a viking-husqvarna, but you might want to check online to see they have one for your Brother. Love those pants!
Oh did you I must see if I can get one for my brother thank you 😘
What a nightmare! Total respect for persevering! They look stunning on you Xx
Hi Jayne, oh crumbs... I feel your pain 😤...bless you. I say I feel your pain but I haven't made any trousers or jeans yet but I had a similar experience when I made my first closet case Kalle shirt when sewing the covered placket...and there's a sew along for that 😉😁. I'm like you and don't tend to read things properly... I think it goes back to school years as I remember being always told to read the questions in exams property...and I could never do that 😋. Your trousers turned out amazing in the end..no thanks to your lovely cat 😽😹and they look fabulous on you Jayne 💟. You poor thing as well regarding what happened with hubby and hope he's recovering after it 😲. Exciting news about your new machine... I think you deserve one after all that 😉💖😁😘
Hi Sally .... glad it’s not just me not reading instructions properly 🤣 hubby is ok thank you for asking .... cover stitch arrived it’s amazing 😘
So sorry to hear your husband isn’t well. Thank goodness your daughter was near. You are a good wife. Congratulations on your new machine. I would like to invest in one of those as well.
Thank you .... it’s arrived today not opened the box yet ... exciting 🤗
Zipper use invisible put it in the seam like you do in the back of a dress. Looks neat and don't see it. Canadian love your accent
Thanks for the tip! Jayne x
Oh my goodness, this did make me laugh. I've had garments like this where nothing seems to right and then you find you've made a really simple mistake ! You've ended up with a great garment though so worth all your efforts.
Thank you Mary .... without fail I make a mistake but I always fathom it out in the end and learning lots along the way 😘
Your amazing.
Oh thank you so much 😊
So sorry to hear about your husband that is hard for you both at this uncertain times. Tricia.
That design is so something I’ve never seen, the zip next to a slanted pocket. And sewing into the pocket? No it’s not you, although I’m not saying anything questionable to Helens Closet at all, it’s just in all my sewing, I’ve never seen that particular construction. I have seen side pockets near the side seam, and the waistband itself opening, to let yourself in the pants. It’s all good to know, thanks.
I did laugh with a memory from a pet relieving himself on my sewing. I was a junior in high school, and sewing my velvet and lace prom dress. My dog came and peed on my left velvet panel. Mom and I had to rush to the store to get more velvet which of course was slightly different, but I had no choice, as I had a habit of sewing new dresses right before the actual event, so definitely a procrastinator! fortunately those dances were dark and no one noticed.
Our pets are funny aren’t they 😬😘
This sounds a lot like one of my sewing journeys. I have ADHD (adult diagnosis) and dyslexia. I will be very careful - thank you so much for your honest humanity. I kind of love you today internet stranger. 🤦🏻♀️
Aw thank you so much ☺️
Sorry things have been difficult. You look so slender in that outfit. Suits youm
Thank you so much for your lovely comments 😘
