Steph the musi 5:31 c is nice but it overrides what you are saying so I think it would be better to buy it out 😊

Audhd here, too! I get very frustrated with the times of each step in the sewing process. It takes forever. And the fabric moves way more than I thought, It doesn't stay put to be sewn, so I end up with crooked lines 😅 How do you organize the sewing steps? Do you get many half projects?

Hello. Hi. Glad to see you.

Your fridge tip is great, thanks Steph. I’m watching this at 1.40am and have set my alarm to remind me to reorganise my fridge in the morning otherwise I’ll forget it by then.

If you still want a pattern suggestion, the endless summer shirt by antilley handmade would be something I would want to watch.

Stephanie it's gorgeous!

Thanks Steph for a reminder that we have to take care of ourselves and be kind to ourselves. I’m a fairly recently unofficially dxed person with adhd. I’m older and because of the stigma I never dared to ask, why do I feel different. I’m also recently in menopause and I felt like I was losing it, (well I was losing it a bit). I like knowing that I have a reason why I act a certain way, that I’m just wired a bit different. It’s comforting to have a deeper understanding of myself.

Is a French seam a really old technique? Like did they discover this in the 16th-17th century for all those crazy royal dresses at Versailles?

Hi gorgeous, great idea hacks for anyone , housemate & I waste a lot out of sight foods ☮💟

Hi Steph, Thanks so much for this video. I hadn’t heard you mention previously that you had a diagnosis of autism and adhd. May I ask what originally prompted you to look for a diagnosis? I often wonder about myself. Also agree with you 100% on the medicine front. If it helps a person to feel like they are not worried about themselves - in whatever of the many ways that may show up - then it is a good thing for that person. ❤ Ps. Bullet lists rule my life, and I got one of the earring stands last year for Xmas 😅

You really powered through this and I appreciate that! I think they are very well made, and I hope you love them once you adjust them. Did you also make the top you’re wearing with them? I think the two pieces go very well together.

I made these years ago, they’re definitely a unique style, the barrel leg etc, they became my clown pants, I lived them in the end. But yes, as I was watching you merrily diving in and cutting that precious fabric, I was like….nooooo…..do a toile! Im Sure with a few tweaks they’ll be fab

They look great but I know that kind of frustration during the process!

That fabric is sooo gorgeous! 😍 They might've fell short of your vision, but they actually do look really good on you.

I just bought this pattern, so your video is very helpful. Every time I put in a zipper it’s as if I’ve never freaking put in a zipper before, so I’m mentally trying to prepare myself for this one!

That's a real shame about the pattern - finished garment measurements are so important! I liked the look of the pattern and looked it up on the Pattern Fantastique website - apparently the pattern has been revised and they did re-jig the sizing and lengthen the leg.... but on the minus side the welt pockets have been removed 💀

I love how they turned out. They are definitely one of a kind. Thank you for the detailed tutorial and explanation, this was a very informative video for somebody who’s self taught at sewing. You did a beautiful job at sewing and making this video 💗

They look great and I love the fabric

I think the fit looks good on you. Granted, I love baggy pants

Dont lose your sewing mojo over this. Theyre looking great. I know you don't like doing a toille, but can I recommend them to you especially so you don't ruin that gorgeous fabric. Pick up some old sheets at Vinnies. Its so hard to fit yourself, but you did an amazing job. Hows the new job going? The final try on and they look great.

Pattern Fantastique patterns are not for the short of patience or newbie crowd. I have been sewing for 35 years and OMG I get so frustrated with the construction flow of the garment and the lack of directions/information where you need it most vs where there is detail I find myself saying "This is where you chose to explain?". For example with the Vali dress, I was like what gives with the small facings? Why wouldn't you do a full enclosed smock? So I went my own way and did. I also didn't follow the flow of it at all because it wasn't sensible. These pants? I was absolutely inline with what you said here and I used the pieces, but made my entirely own process based on how I prefer to sew up pants. Are all her patterns beautiful when you get them made if you figure it out the size and have the right fabric? Yep, sure are. Is it worth the frustrations? Can't say that it is. I love the way yours look and think over time they will drape a bit more in a way that will slim them down. But you could take them in a bit.

Absolutely love how they turned out!! I actually recently got myself the terra pants pattern and I'm glad to finally see someone on yt sew them up! Pattern Fantastique re-released the terra pants pattern a year ago or so and the newer version does seem to have the measurements you were looking for, but unfortunately they removed the welt pockets. 😢 Sorry to hear that you didn't quite like the look of them! I think to create something that reflects your inspo pics better it might be helpful to try a 'stiffer' fabric like a 5oz cotton poplin or cotton twill in general. Looking forward to seeing more of your makes! 😃

This was such a relatable video. Rarely does a make go smoothly from start to finish. More often there is one or two moments you want to throw your machine out the window as pull your hair out . I also relate to never pre washing fabric and I also never make a proper muslin. I just want to get sewing already!

Ahh we don't mind at all at all if it's a day later then you intended on uploading! Your mental health is waaayyy more important 😘 LOOOOVE the fabric, and they look fab on you!❤

Your new pants are really cute! I hope the adjustments are easy after some needed rest. Don’t let this pattern get you down- you’re a great seamstress! With love from Mississippi. 😉🩷

I actually think they look great on you. Adorable and comfy.

love to see an authentic garment making experience! I am returning to sewing and contemplating making tailored trousers. I have therefore been researching the Top Down Centre Out method which involves making a one legged toile to troubleshoot and resolve fit issues. It is a very logical approach that appears to minimise effort and produce a fabulous fit - you may find it helpful if you have not already considered it!

You can always take the legs in a little more if you want them a little more fitted but otherwise they look great on you

Try doing the neckline on the bias instead of on grain

The pants look great! I actually think they look like the examples shown on the pattern website. You can tell in the white example pair they are a wider pant and not a straight leg pant. Pants are frustrating. Maybe a mock up next time will help with seeing how a pant will look.

The fabric is lovely. I am a non-standard body type (I'm a little teapot, short and stout), so have to adjust almost all patterns. When I get fabric that I really like I get mental paralysis about cutting because I get really anxious that I'll make something that doesn't fit or doesn't fit correctly. I'm sorry that the pattern did not work for your body type as well as you had hoped.

You do not “ramble”! I appreciate how you talk us through everything! Don’t listen to the nay-sayers!! 🩷🩷🩷

Love these. I think the flowy style suits the fabric. Pockets are amazing.

they look great!

Sorry the process was so frustrating for you. Nevertheless, the pants came out great imo. I hope you will still get to wear them anyway. Congratulations on new lamp, by the way. :) It's nice to see you being so excited about it.

Fitting in the number one frustrating thing about home sewing. I spend time measuring self, analyzing finished measurements and measuring pattern pieces but still struggle in the end. A lot of fitting on the fly and altering happens. Lately I’ve been into oversized and self drafting so this issue is less of a problem. The pants look pretty cute tho, sorry that they didn’t turn out as envisioned but no one will know!

The worst part of any project for me is cutting the fabric. Up until that moment the fabric is limitless potential. Once I take scissors to it, I am committed.

Sorry it was a rough make. But it is nice to see realistic sewing instead of constant perfection all over the place. Working through a big project to be unhappy with the results sucks... but it happens to all of us, so thank you for sharing the whole crazy experience.

I'm so sorry you had a rough time. Pants are tough. I'm taking classes explicitly to figure out pants. The pants you made did turn out fabulously though!

First of all, I LOVE the fabric color and pattern! I also love linen, but not for lower wear like pants, shorts or skirts as they wrinkle and stretch (loose the shape) while wearing. Linen is super flow-ie and some summery clothes look great with this fabric. Love the pleats on you with your flat abdomen but I think a side zipper would have accentuated and simplified the look better. If it turns out that you don’t like the pants at all, you might even lop them off into shorts and take the remaining fabric to make a cute matching summer crop top. Not a fail at all, everything is a learning experience for sure! Thanks for sticking it out so we can see the fruits of your labor! 👍👍👍

I love sewing content.

That hat was an amazing find!

'Vinnie's. We're the Tits!’ should be their new merch drop...

I love your dress! I love your sharing of your thoughts and feelings. It seems that you have the designer gene - clothing, building, and videography! Great editing, beautiful film quality, and the finishing touches - the sound, the countdown clock - just all of it! This video should go viral.
