Thank you for this tutorial, Peggy! I know you're on constant wash, rinse, repeat when it comes to fitting, but PLEASE KNOW that your efforts are greatly appreciated. Big hugs and kisses to you for everything you do for the home sewing community!!!!
Very kind of you! Thanks for watching!
Peggy, you’ve been trying to tell me this for years. I think Ive finally got it for the first time. This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much for doing this! I appreciate all your efforts.
You make it sound so easy. & you will say it is.
After watching you Peggy, i started to notice many ill fitting pants on other women & now i know the pants that i had DON'T FIT either!
A MOST EXCELLENT VIDEO! All our problems in one video…. Fixed! Thank you!!!
I think this was the best presentation ever !!!!! The pictures and the drawings perfectly conveyed the problems and the solutions making it especially easy to understand the fix for each. Great Job !!! THANK YOU for all you so.
Thank you for watching!
AWESOME Tutorial! The photos and diagrams really helped me, especially the leg dart and "scoop". Thanks so much, Peggy.
This was bang on. Finally picture of problem meets problem solution!
Loved this tutorial, this time the visuals & explanations was finally understood. Thanks Peggy for continuing the repeated LCD rules ! 👍
I have only had one pair of pants fit in my life, and they are a relatively stable knit. I’m hoping to get back in to sewing this year and focus on pants. What a great inspiration this has been. Thank you so much! One of these days, I’m going to take your class in Southern Pines and go to NYC!
I have the same problem with all my pants, bought ones or handmade. Always too much gathering at the inseam just below the crotch, while the crotch length is perfect. I will try changing the pattern by cutting out the dart in the leg. Thank you so much😊
This combo of photos and explanations was super helpful! It is really helping me get a grasp on it
What a great, succinct tutorial!
Thanks for this very informative video. I will watch numerous times. So helpful and explains so much.
OMG! Thank you so much for putting all the pieces together into an outline. It seems that every time I make up a new pattern or buy a pair of pants, each one fits me completely differently! I've watched you from the 1st Fit to Stitch and your tutorials here. I've seen you fit pants and have used those directions when I have "that problem." This outline, defining LCD in re: to Pants is a life saver!! Thank you, thank you , thank you!! 💖
Such a clear precise explanation on all parts. Thank you!
Thank you Peggy, this is very helpful
Wow- I will definitely watch this again and again.. and love that I can do a quick search and find this through CZcams- Thank you 🎉🙏
You are simply, the best, in the manner you communicate!
Thank you.
Thank you Peggy!
This is so helpful for a newbie like me. I’ll have to watch this a few times over but thank you so much.
I finally get it ! I’ve avoided doing pants for these reasons so thank you once again!
Thank you, Peggy. Thank you for all you do!
Peggy...thank you! The diagrams were very helpful.
What a great video. I finally get it! It's time to start making pants!
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been working on pants muslin a few hours per week for the past month. The photos and diagrams helped tremendously. I've perfected the fit of my trouser pattern but have been struggling with a closer fitting style from stretch woven. Hopeful now with new understanding!
😀Thank you Peggy!
What a great review!
Great tutorial. 👍🌺🌿🌹☘🏵🌵
Thank you.
Hi from South Carolina
On your video at time 7:15 you show the back of the pants with two arrows and then on the left side you got the pattern where it has PANTS LEG DART,and then you show the front pants and back pants with those red arrows that you have in there that show on the front and back.. IS THAT WHERE U CUT THE PATTERN OPEN TO ADD MORE??
Does the dart in the last example affect crotch length? Or is it just extra fabric there that won't affect the length of the crotch?
Watch it one more time. (Don't deepen the crotch). She is only taking out some circumference at the same level as the bottom of the crotch.
Great information Peggy! I don't make many pants but I recognize these issues in some I have. Thank you so much!
Thank you! This helped me to understand why some of my pants have not been fitting right! Is there any way that I can get a copy of your pictures (drawings). You are a wonderful teacher, thanks for sharing your talent!
Just do a screen shot of these photos that I used and then open them in paint.
The part that I've never seen is taking the muslin, with all the adjustments and transferring those changes to the pattern!
I tried that but the pattern puckered and wouldn't lay flat, I was concerned the pattern wouldn't be right. I really would like to see What exactly you do AFTER the muslin adjustments - or am I too dense to understand?
I recommend to use the muslin as your pattern...just draw in the grain and don't transfer back to the tissue..no need to do that.
So can u help me. What causes front pants to pull down by the knee when I walk? If I pull the pants up to my crotch I can walk better. What is happening?
Good presentation but didn’t address the major problem that obese women often have which is cupping and emphasizing a large “hanging” stomach. My daughter wears a 32w and has this problem. I know Peggy has said that it’s an indication of too much fabric there in front crotch length; however I am not able to pick up any excess fabric to “dart” out as it is taut….SO how do I fix it. I see this stomach problem a lot as I go through the grocery store doesn’t matter if it’s a knit pant or a stretch woven it’s a “bad” look. Help
This issue is common (also in RTW) and it is the result of grading where the balance of cross-body depth in the crotch seam is not appropriately balanced to the circumference
Watch next week's pant fixes- #2...I will address that.
Pants never come high enough in the back. I have a curvy butt. Are you actually talking about a real dart or slashing and overlapping?
watch next week's video on Pants #2 and I will address. Thanks for watching.
