Thank you for doing this, I’m now starting my toile as these are my plan for holiday outfits ❤
Oh good!
Thanks Whitney! All of the fitting info you shared already answered my questions! My biggest issue with fit is that extra fabric in the inseam area. I can't wait to finish this pair of pants to see how well they're going to fit! I look forward to the next video. Have a great day!
OMG! I am so happy to see this tutorial. I love this pattern but struggled with the fly front. I’m going to follow along your tutorial and make my second pair! Thank you so much!!
Oh, I’m so glad!
Great tips and instructions!
Glad to see this tutorial. I just made a mock-up of this pattern, and I find the written instructions nigh-on incomprehensible.
I was thinking of changing it to a side closure so that I can finish up a pair of these trousers for my daughter-in-law in time for Christmas.
I’m so glad this has been helpful! Moving the zip to side would be easy to do and make the pants that much quicker to make up!
Thank you for the sew along!
Thank you for this sew along! I'm in desperate need of work appropriate pants now that we're slowly getting back out there, but I am wayy too scared to try anything that's not a knit pant. Glad I dug through your sew alongs and found this! It'll help boost my confidence as I attempt to make my first pair of trousers! :D
Oh good! I love this pattern!
Hi Palmer and Pletsch pant book worth aquiring. Use the book this morning on daughters shorts problem. Fold of fabric horizontal at the crotch, I was thinking length. Nope, needed to let out inner thigh and outer thigh at crotch depth not enough room, fold of fabric disappeared. Loving the sew along.😊
Thank you! And you’re right, some of the pants fitting issues are a bit counterintuitive. So many curves to deal with!
Ok so we've got pockets, very good finally got it after watching you're video for the umpteen time. They look great too, can't wait to watch the zipper video and the other videos, great stuff, thanks
I"m so glad to read this!
Thanks for this sew along see you tomorrow. God Bless
Taking about driving yourself crazy over fitting pants... I’ve done exactly that over 2 years until I have realized what you said about not needing to be perfect. I have used exactly the same pattern and realised that just couple of changes gives me a very decent fit.
Anyway, love your videos and you relaxed style of delivering, it is so refreshing.❤️
This makes me so happy! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel!
You are too cute and I love how you think and appreciate all the techniques you share with us.
😂 thank you! I really love sharing!
i can’t even explain how happy i was to see this video!! i couldnt understand the instructions for the life of me and this helped me so much THANK YOU!!!
I am so glad!
I think you are going to make me pull my pattern and try. God knows I have plenty of fabrics for them.
Absolutely incredible!!! I appreciate you going over each pattern piece and addressing the alterations you made and why, thank you thank you. I do love watching you sew each piece together as well, gives me confidence in knowing I'll do it right. What kind of needle are you using and size? You are the best!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the sew along! I was using a universal size 12 needle!
Hi, just seeing this video, I have this pattern and was haven’t made it yet so thanks for showing this video
My pleasure!
Thank goodness for your video! I had a hard time understanding the instructions given with the pattern for sewing the pockets. Your tutorial was great!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I like the cheery jazz music in the background
Ha! Glad you like it!
Love the lipstick but I have no lips and have never been able to wear lipstick:(
I’m guilty of overfitting. I have the pants for real people book. It isn’t the best laid out but okay with other resources. I think I’m just really fussy when fitting trousers. I need to take Suzy Furrer classes. Thank you for the sew a long, I have the pattern and will make later in the year. Yay for you being a Minerva craft blogger.
Overfitting is so easy to do. Suzy Furrer has great drafting classes and then Linda Lee and Pati Palmer have some great fitting classes on there as well.
Did the Blueprint class, approx 3 years ago, created a block and some jeans, still wear them today. Class is good in creating block. Fitting content sparse. Expect to make many test garments and then run with it. Make sure you include 1 inch fitting seams on your outer and inner thigh in the fabric you choose to complete your trousers. Bought a burda pattern and compared crotch curves a year later. I laughed when I realised I spent many hours altering my block to fit and created the Burda crotch curve. Enjoyed the learning process though.

Hi Whitney, I have just come across this video even though it's a few years old. I'm so happy to have found it-- I have this pattern in 20W-28W sizes. I've never made pants before and eager/scared to try. My waist and upper hip are almost the same size; my upper hip/tummy area is my largest measurement; my hips 9" below my waist is 5 inches smaller than my high hip. Would I still use the lower hip measurement to select the pattern size? I hope to hear from you, and thank you for this tutorial. I'm a new subscriber.
I would use lower hip measurement to pick a size and then do a full belly adjustment to get the rest to fit properly. I have a very similar issue!
This was great! I’m going to attempt a pair of pants after about 20 yrs! Do you cut out with a rotary cutter or scissors? I’m interested in buying Palmer Pletsch interfacing when available. What length stitch do you use? Do you baste in the seam allowance? Thanks!
I use a rotary cutter, but either is fine. I sew with a 2.5 stitch length typically and we’ll go over which seams to baste in tomorrow’s video!
I’ve purchased this pattern so I can follow along!
Oh good!
Question- if you have a large tummy, would you suggest selecting a pattern size based on waist, or sticking w/ hip measurements? It's tough to fit for apple shapes!
I would always pick a size for pants based on the hip measurement and then adjust for the waist (you could always do a full tummy adjustment). It will fit you much better!
Just what I need, a tummy sucker inner. Lol
Yes! Game changer!
Hi. Just a fitting question, on all the measurements I come out as a clear 14 except the crotch where I am way bigger - my measurement is 16.5 inches. I have made other trousers / pants and usually end up scooping out the curve at the front piece and back piece to adjust for my shape (I think they are the round pubis and low bum adjustments.....such unfortunate terms....) -so I was thinking I would stay with the average 14 pattern pieces but make this extra crotch adjustment. I will muslin this too first - but just wanted to see what you think.
Yes. If those are normal adjustments then definitely do those since those can’t be adjusted in the basting stage!
P.s your hair looks really beautiful blonde !
Thank you!!
do you have to add pockets to this pant?
It’s a slash pocket so the pocket is cut away from the front pattern piece. However, it’s just a matter of putting the back pocket piece behind the front piece to create the full front and then you could easily omit the pockets!
Is there a way to make this without the pockets
Definitely! You would just need to cut out the front with the pocket facing behind the pocket cut out. Does that make sense? If you lay the pocket pieces how they would be sewn, you'll have a complete front instead of the front with the pocket and then the pocket pieces. Let me know if that is confusing!
would you care to sew some socks/stockings? I would love to try to do it myself. I have no mattern either. What do you think?
I have never sewn socks or stockings either. If you find a pattern I can definitely take a look. Were you wanting me to do a sew along on one? I could definitely look into it!
I think Cashmerette has one!
Hi Whitney. Been looking forward to this class. I do have a question right off the bat. The pattern says they measure the hip at 9in . I am between 7 and 8( probably 71/2 ) . How would you suggest I go about altering this and when?
Barb Gallenberger shorten at the hip line all around horizontally.
Are you a more petite person? Chances are you might just need to shorten the rise an inch. I would just use your full hip measurement (no matter where it falls) to pick your size. This pattern has 1” seam allowances on the side seams which makes tweaking at the end (I’ll do this in tomorrow’s video) really easy.
I am 5’4” but I wouldn’t call myself petite anywhere else😂. Most of my problem is in the stomach mostly because of bloating also.
I will try that horizontal tuck.
Barb Gallenberger 😂 I get that! You might just be a bit shorter in the rise, I’m average in the rise (although I’m only 5’2”, but I have a REALLY short upper body). Fitting can be very weird!
Can this be made out of linen
Yes, but I would chose a heavier bottom weight linen that will hold its shape and provide modesty since the trousers fit fairy close through the hips and bum!
Thanks so much, i appreciate your time you put into these vids I am an almost intermediate sewist
I can’t seem to find the tutorial for the fly front for these pants?
Part 2 of the sew along is here: czcams.com/video/OkX3zo_tIso/video.html
I’m confused, I went to Part 2 and you say and show the fly is already completed. What am I missing?
@@larainelonginetti183 oops! Sorry about that. This is an old video and I forgot I did a separate tutorial for the fly. Here it is: Front Fly Zip Tutorial
czcams.com/video/51m-gnMbuNQ/video.html
@@TomKatStitchery you’re the best, thank yo so much!!
Ya sé cómo Aser eso
❤️
Where is the fly video link??
Here's part 2! czcams.com/video/OkX3zo_tIso/video.html
S8056 has a curved waistband that complicates the fitting process. The shaping is divided between two pieces, unnecessarily. A straight waistband with all the hip shaping in the darts and seams would be easier to fit.
The 3 different bum shapes are good, but even the curvy size, has a back seam that is too short for me.
But I can deal with that. I have been fitting my bum for 30 years.
I totally get what you're saying on this pattern!
'Rouge pour couture' - really! How appropriate - "Sewing Red" !!!!
❤️
Take the pattern out of the plastic, then we can see it better and it films better without the light reflecting
Sorry about that! I’ll do that in the future!
Hi, I know you know what you're doing but I don't the pattern is hard to follow, if you could slow down a bit, I could catch up on what you're doing and saying, thanks
I am so sorry about that. This was one of my first sew alongs and I think I've definitely learned to slow it down a bit.
@@TomKatStitchery It ok, I need to apologize to you, I'm very high strung, I just want everything to go my way, sorry about that, but you know I kept look at your video and I finally got what you were saying great job, who ever wrote the directions didn't do a good job. Again sorry and thanks.
Shirley
@@shirleyh.9820 no problem at all and no need to apologize! I’m glad you got it in the end. You’re right that the instructions weren’t very good!
a little talkative
She She ya, that’s common in my videos 😂.
@@TomKatStitchery 👌
Ok
Hello, I find these videos titled "sew along" a bit frustrating when people sit right next to their machines explaining what they are going to do instead of DOING what the video thumbnail is saying this video is about. It is really unfortunate because I felt you were very informative. For people just learning, seeing the entire process is important.
I’m sorry you didn’t find this video helpful. I am actually sewing along throughout the entire video, but is there a particular part you were struggling with? I’d be happy to answer any questions.
