• Instruction sheets are a step-by-step written instruction on how I drafted this or that project, so that you can follow along. Instruction Sheets are available as a back catalogue, but there are no new Instruction sheets for projects starting with July 2022.
• The templates are ONLY for the small projects, like a basket, or coaster, or towel wrap and etc.
• I have also created sewing reference sheets and practice sheets, as well as sketches that you can use and some small-scale garment parts that you can use to practice "slash and spread" techniques and dart manipulations. Instruction sheets are focused on the drafting process and less on the sewing sequence as that is shown in the video. Sewing steps can be sometimes written out, and sometimes referenced back to the original video.
• Members Extra videos go into fabric selection, extra tips and tricks, best practices and some additional ideas from me
• I try to prioritize Members comments, especially if there is a question
• I try to post EARLY ACCESS videos for Members, meaning those are videos that you can watch earlier than anyone else and without ads :)
• Every week I post Members ONLY sneak peeks
• We also have Members Only FB group for sharing project pictures and inspiration
• I am not a teacher and this is not a course or a program
Thank You for being here and see you soon!

Thank You for Watching! - Zábava
Love the waistband idea. I hate having anything tight around my waist, and making trousers with the soft waistband is a great for all types of trousers! Thank you!
I hate the draw string. "We hates it"
Who couldn’t give a 👍 to a helpful bubbly and clever lady ??
Raylee, you know - haters :) but thank you - you're so sweet!
Actually in YT world they only notice there was activity for the video, they do not track likes and dislikes , so ALL clicks good or bad look good to YT....odd I know.
I’m always afraid of sewing pants, you make it look so ez, love the waistband❤️🧵
Thank you! I have been making stretch waistbands with non stretch pants for a while now, always works :)
I love pockets and pajama pants(lounging pants). When I'm home, comfort is the word.
This the the best tutorial I have found, She is great!!
So glad you posted this. I just finished drafting my pattern from my pants. Love your tutorials.
Thank you, Diane! I am happy that this was just in time for you!
I'm sure you hear this all the time, but when I type a question into the search box, I always scroll a little (of course!) if I see a video from you with the answer I always want to see that one first. Of all the creators I've come across looking for answers, you've always been the one who explains easily without saying the same thing over and over or being mean. You've really helped me learn to sew faster and better. Thank you!!!
Iris, thank you so much for your kind words and welcome! Make sure you check out all of the Members perks (there is so much on Google Drive) and make the most of them :)
I'm glad guys like you, Thoughtful Creativity, make these videos for us who happen to be gals.
I have to thank you for all videos and great tutorials you are doing for all of us. They are so helpful, easy to understand and positive. You are wonderful personality.
Totally agree about adding seam allowance after drafting the pattern.
Thank you so very much, just going to make some for my son had the fabric but no pattern !found this tutorial just in time especially the waistband as I always tend to have this part looking a bit messy when simply folding over. Thank you I am so grateful to you for sharing your expertise x
great idea with the stretchy knit waist band mixed with flannel...and the patch pocket looks very cute...I'm going to try it all this week. thanks
I love this project especially the pocket!!
So glad I found this video. I love the simplicity of making the pants pattern AND the pockets. I feel the pattern can also be used to make a pair of dress pants you wear "out." Just change the fabric you make them out of, I guess. TY for sharing the video with us.
You are an amazing human being, you are teaching multiple generations
I love the pajamas. Thanks for sharing this tutorial
Thank you, Catherine! My pleasure! It is getting colder here - so need something warm!
Love these pj pants! Especially the pockets! That is the easiest pocket tutorial I've seen yet! Thank you!😊👍❤
I already have my fabric washed ironed and folded and I'm sure this tute is about to get us a pair of pants!!!!!
Love the waistband!!
Love those pants
This was super easy and very helpful. Thanks for an easy way into sewing
I love your videos. I just started to sew, and you're a great teacher!!!
I love these pj pants! I will give these a try!
Good morning, Brittney - definitely! It is easy and comfy :)
I love this, thank you! You are such a sweetheart, bless your heart.
Your tutorials are really blissful to watch and they are so clearly explained. I always use the tip for the waistband now! With my hourglass figure, have a clear waist and with the regular waistband it doesn't fit nicely.
Also the explanation and creation of the pockets is clever and clear! Thank you Alisa for sharing your creativity! 👏👌 greetings from Belgium😚
Hi Alisa. I am so happy that I came across your videos. I have watched a few and I like your style of teaching. I have tried making pants for my son from other tutorials but watching yours have made me learn so much more and given me a greater understanding of the mistakes I made. I am really looking forward to making some more pants for him and some tops for myself. Please continue creating these very informative and practical videos for us to follow along. Thank you so very much. God bless.
Cindy, hello there - I read your comment and my heart did a happy dance! I am so happy that you found more courage and understanding through these videos! That is exactly why I make them. Thank you for your kind comment and happy sewing to you!
Love these pjs the pockets and the waist band are very nice.💖
Thank you, Elaine! I often say - those are the little things that make it special, right? :) And thank you for joining me! So appreciate you!
Somehow I missed this video a few months ago, but glad I found it! I have patterns for joggers but I already have a pair of RTW ones that fit perfectly. I think i'm going to tackle making a pattern out of them this weekend! Eep!
This is absolutely awesome! Thanks a million.
Awesome!! This is the best tutorial about sewing pants. And I watched your other video about drafting a pattern for it. I’m so excited to get going on this project
super cute love it
Very timely video for me. I'm making pj pants for my kids and in-laws and grandkids for Christmas. I've finished 10 of them already, but the others are going to have the benefit of your pocket ideas. (I'm trying to vary them a little; all have pockets but not just like this.) You're such an inspiration.
I Love your video on pants thanks so much.
Great tutorial!! Thanks!
Each and every video of yours is amazing 😍 in love with the way you explain
Aw, thank you - you are so sweet!
Sooooo easy...!! Imma try this...!! Thank you soooo much !!
I am so excited to do this pattern
Cute pants!
Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thanks. Will use this as a guide to make pj for a friend.
Hi Alisa!! Wonderful vlog.. Great tutorial, greatly appreciated.. Not a fan of pants but you make me feel at ease when doings this with you.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
OMG! I just found your channel! I'm going to try to make my own pants....... I LOVE THIS!
Shoutout to you!!!
Super Cute 👍🏼❤️
I've just bought the same Llama print for PJ's!!
Wow thank you 🤩
I cant wait to try make some 🥰❤️! Thank you so much. You are very sweet.
So very comfy and cute pants. Very nice 👌🏼🥰
Thank you! 🤗
I just watched the pattern video & after asking if there was a sewing video, I found this one. LOL.
Pockets! I love pockets!
Those pants are super cute when finished. I love that you have an elastic waistband that isn't gathered. It looks so comfortable. I think I would want pockets that have lining and are on the inside of the pants though. But I think that is a matter of cutting an opening in the pants at the angle you want to have for the pockets (but leaving room for seam allowances)? Maybe the pockets could be lined with that gray stretch fabric. LOL.
great tutorials, lovely voice , thanks for the knowledge sharing
Great job!!! Thank you so much
Lynette, hello there! Glad it was helpful! I love these so much, wearing them right now :)
Oh my gosh 😍 thank you ❤️
Really cute. I needed a little more direction that what you provided. My first pair I cut out I made two right legs ;-( . I redid and am happy with how they turned out!
Great video.
Cool project and good luck
Can't always afford membership but subscribe for premium when I can:) just like always when I couldn't find what I needed online once I remembered to check your channel I got all the answers 😭 thankyouthankyouthankyou. This channel has really really REALLY helped me.
Edit: I just looked and saw I commented something similar a year ago! LOL! Well then, its been a YEAR and still the best video I am using again. Standing the test of time!😊

I LOVE your IMAGINARY IRON 🤣 - I need to get myself one of those ... its like a magic wand that presses seams ! Like Magic !
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have learned so much. I am still new to sewing and I am now so excited to make pants thank you SOOOOOO much for this
It's so helpful😭 I made pajamas from this for a loved one and they came out fantastic
Another great tutorial - loving your chanel ❤
I’m going to make a cardi and the fabric has thick stripes. Should I do the fold over method that you do in the video or should I cut each piece out individually to make sure it lines up perfectly? You always explain everything so well! I have flannel to make pjs. The waistband is a great tip!!!! I really have been wanting pockets and drawstrings on my pjs and this was super helpful!!! 🥰
Working on a pajama pants right now and your instructions are perfect 👌🏼 Thank you so much. Really love everything you share. I had never heard of the waistband tip.
Haya. These are just soooo super cute :) They look really comfy :) Thanku for sharing. x
Just found your channel these are a great idea for gifts for any occasion, thanks sa much for sharing this. I will definitely be trying this out.
Hello there and welcome! Speaking of gifts - I have a few more vids on this channel for gifts specifically - so you will enjoy them too! :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you for sharing this with us all, and I will definitely be checking out other videos
DOUBLE LIKE!
Been watching your tutorials non stop past few days since I came across them. It’s very helpful & end products looks amazing. Your pattern making is the most interesting thing for me as I am new to making clothes. Will try very soon. Thanks for all the instructions & guidance plus your happy cute presentation
Leesha, hi! You will love sewing and making your own clothes. It is amazing what we can do with out imagination and a bit of thread and fabric!
mmmm! I have some flannel too! These are a staple for Up North Wisconsin!
Thank you. ❤ 🇿🇦
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing !
Thank you!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity you’re welcome my dear I enjoy your videos. Thank you for working so hard.
Wow, you made it seem painless Alisa😆
I will give it a go for sure, but I will turn mine into gardening pants!
Thank you for the tips and as soon as I purchase the fabric, I´ll come back to this video and we´ll do it together! I just subscribed 😘
Thanks for.this. I bought a pattern for pants and I have been dragging out making it because the instructions are just crazy. Too much reading for my liking. This was making me feel bad because I spent a lot of money on a new sewing machine and buying material and the shipping costs et. I'm gonna skip that pattern and follow your technique for pockets and waistband. I knew it should be more simple. Ps I'm gonna subscribe and check out joining if this works out for me. It's nice to have a person to see along with. I need one
Marie, hi! Yes, totally get you on buying a pattern band then feeling bad because it was an expensive buy...so very true, hope this video helps! I feel that sometimes things are tad bit overcomplicated by other people... Just for the sake of over complicating :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you. they reakky do over complicate things. What doesnt help is that it's written in 4 different languages . Lol. Thank you.
Love u!!👏👏👏
Awesome
I have just found your channel and I am really enjoying your clear and relaxed explanations. If I wanted to make these pants to wear out and about with sandals for spring/summer, what type of material would you suggest I use for a loose comfort fit and would you you still use stretch jersey for the waistband? Thank you.
I just finished my pants from fleece. They are so soft & comfortable. The first lounge pants I've had that are long enough. I do need to figure out a crotch adjustment before I make more. Great tutorial
Diane, so happy for you! Yay!
Love these! Pockets are a must have for pjs for me. Do you have any tutorials that show how to make back pockets on pants?
Hi 👋 Alisa nice video
Nice pajama
Do you have any tips on how to make a cozy high waistband suitable for someone that is pregnant?
🙈😍These pockets, I am completely in love with it’s shape and how it (for me) makes the pants complete.
---
I got so inspired by this video, so glad and thankful for that!
I’m already on the floor with my tools getting started. 😅 I will be making a pair for myself to use during pregnancy, hoping they’ll look good as “everyday-wear” and feel good as “snuggle-pants”
THANK YOU 🎊🎈
Thank you for teaching us how to make the pattern in the previous video. How could we calculate if the pattern will be the waist or lower..
Thanks for the tutorial. Can you make a tutorial on how to draft a pajama pant pattern from scratch?
Nice, I have seen you do pants before, but waiting on how to add additional space for padding (Santa Suit) lol....
Hi Alisa, just wandering how to be a member please? I really like your videos. Simple and easy to follow. Thank you!
Yes iwill make pajama
The fabric is gorgeous. Where did you get it?
I've never made pants before, thank you for making this beginner friendly😊 Can I ask about the leg patterns? Do you just flip the front pattern piece over to make the other leg? So I'd be seeing the patterned side of the paper you used to make the pattern, to make the front of the other leg? Also, if I wanted to avoid outer side seams, would I just cut the fabric on the fold? xx
Sarah, this video will answer some of your questions about drafting a pattern and pant legs - czcams.com/video/IIZt2X7Ryhc/video.html
Thank you for the great directions! I am making a woven pair of pants and plan to use the self fabric for the waistband. Is there any need to curve the waistband or is a straight waist band fine? Thank you!
Nancy, please go to my channel videos - there is a separate video about waistbands for pants.
👍
Great tutorial thank you!
Do you have a link for the blue top thats shown at the beginning of the video please?
Please go to the "videos" tab on my channel page to find any video tutorials you are looking for.
What a charming project! Question: Should I always cut my waistband and neckband on the bias? Neckbands are really kicking me!❤😁
Pat, hello there! So waistbands - really depends, I don't usually cut them on the bias, necklines however - always, except for knit fabric. Although there are some situations when cutting knit waistband on the bias helps, too!
Awesome fabric, happy Friday Alisa🧵
Question; how can I switch from the kofi to membership?
Happy Friday, my dear! Right next to the subscribe button there is a join button, just click on it and it will give you prompts on what to do. If you do not see a button (on some phones it does not show) then I left a link in the infobox, I think it is the first or the second link. I hope it makes sense :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity ok cool, thxs
how do you know how much fabric to buy? Maybe you covered that in the previous video? I always have a hard time picking out fabric. Going to the fabric store is overwhelming with all the choices. And I don't always like the selection either. Any tips for buying fabric? I love your videos. You do a great job explaining the steps clearly.
Caro, hi! To answer your question 1) make the pattern and put it on the floor, then take a measuring tape and measure - that's how much fabric you will need times 2. 2) I have a video about which fabric to choose for which pattern - if you click on my channel name and go to video tab you will see all videos there.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you so much! :)
Did you sew the elastic on to the pants or just threaded it in and sewed the ends?
Threaded it in and sewed the ends. The waistband was juts the right width and it fit nicely!
Thank you Alisa, I like all your sewing projects,
The way you explain it's very easy and you make it simple, thanks again , I would like to ask you about the membership, how it work? You can email me if you could,
Wishing you all best 😘
I did it 🙂😌
yay! :) thank you for joining - I totally missed this comment, but I do hope you are enjoying this membership!
Hello and thank you! I am making the pants and I have a question... Do I make 2 waist bands? then sew them together? Since the one pattern is the total of the front and back pant which makes it fit front or back but not both. I am brand new to sewing and I'm loving every minute and every little detail of the experience. I hope you or someone can help with my question. Thank You!!
DeeDee, hello there and thank you for being here! Let's see, I am not at my desk right now, but yes, if you draft the waistband as half, witht the plan of cutting two of those pattern pieces or cutting it on the fold, then yes, you will need to either cut twice or on the fold. Otherwise you won't be able to attach it, as it won't be long enough. Let me know if this cleared it up for you and happy sewing!
@Thoughtful Creativity - CRAFT, SEW, DIY thank you! Yes, very helpful. You are truly making a difference in my life. I'm learning to sew and loving it! You're a great teacher and so encouraging. I'm grateful.
@@deedeeandrews2022 my pleasure! There is a video on how to sew a waistbands onto pants on my channel (pink tie dye/watercolor pants on the the thumbnail) that might help you more with it. Also, there is a Members Early access about drafting a waistband 3 ways - you can fins the link for it under any Members Extra (the latest ones) videos.
How many pant pieces should I have 😭😢 #struggling but this is so informative and easy compared to other videos !
Brittany, hi! You can do it, just make sure you watch this video to understand how many and what pattern pieces you will need (2 back and 2 front + waistband) czcams.com/video/IIZt2X7Ryhc/video.html
Would you be able to make a tutorial on how to make pockets that are invisible/ inside of the pants?
Already have it on my channel.
Great videos with a lot of description. Please mention which type of fabric you are using in each project you are using. That's the only thing missing from your videos. Beginners like me would wan to know that. Rest all is perfect :)
The front of my pants came out bulky. I was confused on how to connect the higher tip of the back to the front part on the waist. Also, my machine won‘t see stretchy fabrics. Any tips?
I had same problem, until i found out you need a ball point ( stretch fabric ) needle. In fact often sewing issues is the needle so it’s worth having a variety- detail somehow no one tells you. Hope this helps x
Pls more details how to make@ measurements pant pattern cutting
How should I adjust the pocket for a child size pj
