  • I made pants! The Pietra Pants! This is a review of Closet Core Patterns' Pietra Pants and Shorts from a beginner sewist's point of view. I made versions B (the cropped pant) and C (the shorts) in a size 16. My measurements are 40-34-44 (about 102-86-112cm).

    Yes to those Uniqlo pants! That’s exactly why I got the pattern. Great job on that linen, and great pattern review!

      I'm glad I'm not the only one loving Uniqlo plants lol. I'm thinking about making another pair of these in some fabric with some movement, but since this video I've made the shorts like 3 times and love them all

    Try the Sidewinder pant from Sewing Revival! You've helped me make the decision to try the Pietra Pants. Great review. I love how you describe the easy and hard parts. I think we are at about the same point in this sewing journey.

    I enjoyed your video. I am an intermediate beginner and had trouble with these- I had trouble with the fit and trouble understanding the pockets- I might retry these now:)

    • @CultivatingWhims
      @CultivatingWhims  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely try again and let me know how they come out! I really cant do the pockets unless I'm following the website instructions line by line. I would like to taper the legs of the pants a pinch more at the ankles, but for a first try, I'm happy.

    I just came across your channel. Love this video! This sounds like the kind of thing I try--confident beginner and French seams 😁 amazing! You've sold me on this pattern! They look fantastic on you.

      @Ramon Bodie thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
      Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

    I have a you tube channel. Beginners need to see others make the same mistakes they do, so they don't give up. Thanks for sharing the pocket issues. My pants have flopped, my first pair. I'm going to make pajama pants and shorts soon. With shirts to match. I will video my mistakes as i go. Keep the videos coming.

    Thanks! The pattern reminds me of some linen pants I got from jjill and it would probably be cheaper to make!

    • @CultivatingWhims
      @CultivatingWhims  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I hope it works out for you! At least if you make them you can make them EXACTLY as you would like with a little work

    Hello :) Those pants look great! For me, a total beginner ( I've only done 1 skirt, 2 aprons & little bathroom bag) your skills are not on a beginner level lol. They are intermediate! Thank you for sharing, I plan to buy the sewing course from closet core pattern & this pants pattern is included. I'm pretty intimidated by pants, but I'll see how it'll go. Also, I saw, that you live in Japan, that's so cool! I've lived in Kyoto for 1 1/2 year myself :)

    • @CultivatingWhims
      @CultivatingWhims  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tried the shorts before I tried making the pants but the trick is to just go slow and google anything you dont know lol. I'm glad my skills can pass for at least intermediate. That compliment really makes me happy!
      How was living in Kyoto?! I keep saying I want to try living in maybe Kansai next because people seem to love it

      @@CultivatingWhims haha, yeah, trying anything to be "quick" always leds to massive mistakes and frustration :D. you're welcome :) looking forward to your next sews!
      I really enjoyed living in Kyoto!! It's such a nice place. There are many touristy spots which are always overcrowded, but if you leave those main streets, there are soooo many nice places where not many tourist go to. So much to explore!
      Well, I cannot really compare, bc I only lived in Kansai. I guess the general impression is, that people are more layed back maybe? It is really nice there ^-^

    Thanks for this info. I'm delving into a handmade wardrobe, and need items that are easy to sew, but don't look it. These seem like that.

    I so agree about high waters. As a very long legged woman, i could never find long enough rtw. Still dislike short pants...

  • @callitags
    @callitags ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you have to add to the seam allowance to do french seams on these? I haven't made clothes yet (very newbie!), but I've made a tote bag that used french seams recently, and I quite liked doing those. Thanks! Appreciated coming across this video. Core is one of the pattern companies I have my eye on for trying soon.

    • @CultivatingWhims
      @CultivatingWhims  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sorry I'm just seeing this! But the instructions actually tell you how to do the pattern within the seam allowance given so there's no extra figuring out to do on your part! Which made it quite easy and now I know exactly how to do the same thing on patterns that use the same 5/8in seam allowance without too much work!

    is the green top you are wearing sewn by you? if so what's the pattern number and name please?

    • @CultivatingWhims
      @CultivatingWhims  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey! The green top wasn't sewn by me, it's something I picked up while living overseas. I've been searching for a pattern like it too because I absolutely love it. If I ever find one, I'll be sure to update here!
