Your outfit is so cool!!!

Great demo of thread tracing. Thanks!

This isn’t new - it’s tailor tacking !

Your tutorials are so excellent 🧡

This is wonderfully done! Super clear to follow, no steps missed, perfect for beginners and very informative. Thank you!!

Wow so many little tips and tricks in this video, I've been sewing for a couple of years but being self taught I didn't know little things like tucking your thread into the fabric. Thank you I'm going to make these soon for everyday wear hehe🎉

Why Im LARPing? Cause its easier to pretend that Ido have haveLIfe than have actual LIfe :D

I have watched many DIY leather armour videos, and I think yours is the most simple to follow. You explain your steps clearly, and you use metric!!! Thank you!

if one of your legs is longer than the other or you have uneven hips, then you don't need to make the hem line symmetrical. that is to say, if store-bought pants fall unevenly on you, then you shouldn't make it symmetrical

omg have you heard of blumineck he does the same thing!!!

after seeing the blackbox light- and sound technician i now have one more dream job to put on the list of awesome stuff i wanna do

this makes me want to attend a larp!

its always interesting to hear what people actually enjoy about larp, because you don't get to have these kinds of conversations DURING the larps when you run into random interesting people because you are too busy being your characters xP

The way that you explain what you’re doing and why, even if I didn’t have any sewing experience this would’ve have been easy to follow!! Thank you for such a thorough, helpful tutorial and excellent pattern! Can’t wait to make mine and wear them to the ren faire 😊

The notification bell is very usefull with your channel, i love your content ❤

I really should think about actually recording outros next time.... Do let me know what you think about this format! Would you like to see more interview style videos? And which questions should I ask?

Hey lady ..... Don't ever push any sharp implements or knives towards any part of your body. Everyone knows this but I just cringed while you're beveling that piece.

Huh

This turned out gorgeous and gives me great inspiration for the led work my kid and I have plans for making together. Thank you :D

For what it's worth with the lining of the pants, you did it perfectly correct with stitching it flat and attatching it to the seams. And really great job on the top :D It's a hard one to make, but you did excellent!! Oh, and nice plant trip :D

What an awesome, thoroughly detailed video! Thank you so so much! 💓 I have sewn my first pair of pants thanks to this, for my first LARP (which is in 2 days only haha). I might have made a small mistake, though? My waist to crotch measurement was 33cm, but once the pants were done, it was only 25cm (on the front, and on the back too. Measured from the top (tunnel already sewn) to the beginning of the gusset, gusset not included). Is it normal? Because I feel like it is a bit of a tight fit on the lower back, when I crouch for example (and I don't really have much of an ass, lol). Maybe my brain just isn't made for sewing cause I can't figure out where/if I went wrong. If anyone passing by reads this comment and can explain it to me, even if it's months from now, I'd be grateful 😅 Another question, if anyone has anymore spare time: there is a layer of fabric inside the finished tunnel, since it was folded twice. Does it matter on which side (of this piece of fabric) the belt goes when it's inserted? On the side that's closest to the body, or on the side that's closest to the exterior? Maybe I'm overthinking, but I was wondering...

Advise from a seamstress: if you take waist-crotch height while you're sitting on a flat surface (like a table) you measure on your side from waist to the table. That gives you the exact middle and ensures you will have enough depth (since the front of pants have a shorter length of this seam than the back does, especially on heavier people). All the advice on fabric types, widths, pre-washing, and the fabric calculations are chef's kiss and spot on and it makes my heart happy to see :D Looove all the explanations underway as well. And the pressing of seams, yesss!!! That is such an important part of the process and can take your projcets from looking like you don't know what you are doing to something professional. Thank you for showing that part too. Everything about this tutorial makes my autistic brain go YAY!!! It is so good, clean, and simple and just absolutely wonderful! So happy TH-cam suggested you to me. I shall continue to binge your entire channel these next days while sewing on my own projects :D Thank you so much for this and happy sewing :D

here from discord, just wanted to say thank you so much for making these videos and sharing them. i feel somehow even more excited than i was before, and certainly more prepared.

I found my thread was very fragile for gathering and after snapping the thread on accident... I decided to use a thicker thread that I hand stitched and gathered as I went and that ended up taking about 15 minutes a leg. This was my first real project and it turned out pretty good! I feel like this was a perfect tutorial for someone like me who just got a sewing machine, but already figured out the basics on my own.

Thank you Maris for this fine video . I will have to do some modifications since I will be doing a Mongol Archer. New subscriber from Canada.🇨🇦

That gap on the sides, put a intermediary piece of leather that will take up the gap but won't pinch when cinched up. If you are wearing extra clothing because of cold the original measurements will be needed.

Recommendation real dried old bloodis brownish so dont make it bright red cause that makes it look fake

These kind of inserting gussets were at the old working-shirts, called buscherump, of fishermen in Hamburg.

I really love that shirt, I think I've seen a pattern similar to it but seeing one made was cool! And yay, garden geeking!

The gardens looked lovely. Thank you for sharing them with us. I learn by doing, so most pattern instructions don't make sense to me. I hope you got it worked out to your satisfaction. The costume looks great, and i love the top.

I needed this for my larp weapon, thank you

21:31 I paused to read the little placard you showed and imagine my surprise!! I was a student at UConn Storrs in 2016 and the greenhouses were my favorite place to unwind! It's so exciting to see where those seeds ended up and how they're doing, even with the mouse trouble. Thank you so much for sharing your botanical trip ❤

Yeah, instructions being nonsense is why I normally completely ignore them and do it up my own way. It's taken me a while to get to being able to do that, though.

Wow! It is gorgeous!

Ha yes the age old tradition of sewing instructions being crap is alive and well I see

Looks awesome!

Is it for sell

Thank you, that helped!

I've watched it multiple times and I'm still confused on the width/waist part. When cutting the 2 pieces for the upper leg, I'm cutting both pieces total waist circumference x upper leg length? So example 40 inch waist, 20 inch waist to knee (yes I know these are odd Proportions easy numbers) plus tie pocket and seam allowance. So I would cut 2 pieces that are 42 inches by 27inches (I allowed for a larger seam)?

Thank you so much for these two vids, i have this pattern and its a bit confusing, now i get it! Very useful vids.

There are some cool innovations with mushroom leather recently as well. They can grow a piece of any size or shape in 2 weeks and eliminate offcuts by growing it in a custom shaped mould to suit the pattern. There's also bacteria textiles that they can dye patterns into the material by using UV lasers to activate a gene expression that causes the bacteria to synthesise more melanin. Pretty neat imo. From a vegan ethics perspective (rejection of exploitation, commodification, and rights violation of sentient animals) I often hear about leather not contributing to animal death or suffering because it's a by-product of the meat and dairy industry and it would otherwise be wasted, but the reality is that the overwhelming majority of leather waste is offcuts from footwear, and chrome and blue leather meaning industry has already committed resources into the product and definitionally no longer views it as a "by-product" but a financial liability they have a fiduciary responsibility to offload. Additionally, if the goal of the animal rights movement is to end slaughter it's in the best interest of everybody to find sustainable alternatives before demand overtakes supply. Leather tanning at the current scale is a driver of chemical runoff and water waste, so investing in vegan alternatives that both have a drastically reduced environmental footprint, don't violate rights, and have promising scalability is a great thing, even if we have to rethink the tools and techniques to work with the materials

Thank you! I've almost never sawn anything in my life, but I'll try the tunic anyway when I can😂

Thanks for this, used your vid and worksheet to make some pants for my local renfaire as my first ever sewing project and they are indeed super comfy!

Beautiful and patient tutorial. Thank you for your hard work!

why is there the extra 10 cm on waist to knee measurement. i get the 6 cm is for the tunnel, what is the 10 cm for.

You look like my geography teacher lmao

Good teaching!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of this, very inspiring!

Oooohhh we call them persian trousers...❤🥺

Great 👍 video
