Ya know, I heard an expression that goes, "when the fisherman can't go out and fish, he stays ashore and repairs his nets" and thanks to you, now I have a way to do just that. Cuz I can't sew on my machine at this moment but I can definitely learn how to draft my own patterns in preparation for everything I want to sew when i am finally able to again. I'm very happy to have found your channel. Thank you and i wish you much continued success!
Hi Alisa, I followed your instructions and completed from drafting to sewing basic easy pants. You are a gem with your instructions and show how to. Everything fits so well. I had tried previous times with other's instuctions but came up short. You're the best. Looking forward to more sewing projects with you.
I wanted to make myself some comfy cotton shorts to wear at home. This tutorial is the best! They came out so good and they fit me so perfectly. They are my favorite shorts ever cause they’re made for my exact measurements…
Alisa, you are the best! I have a full array of pattern pieces to mix, match and make anything I want. Thank you so much!
Linda, exactly! So happy that you are finding all of these videos useful!
I made these! Your instructions are excellent and I made my 16yr old daughter pj’s! She has very long legs and pj’s are never long enough! We made some with cute colourful cats and she loves them! Palazzo pants next! Thank you for the guidance and sharing your knowledge so generously!
Wooohooo! Well done, Erica! Now you can use this basic pants pattern for your daughter for all kinds of pants - I could not be happier for you!
Yep. The brillient lady who shows beginners how easy it is. Clear, concise and well presented.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! The easiest one so far! Better than the teachers in the school.
I'd been hoping you'd make a basic pants pattern. I've been watching other videos about pants pattern draft that have been good still not positive I had it figured out. I knew you could do a video focusing on the bare basics I could work on before working up to more complex patterns.
I was wondering just today evening if I should try to sew a pair of comfy trousers for myself! And here it is! 🥰🥰🥰
The day I subscribed to your channel I made my first top. Where have you been all my life...
Thank you so much for this..greetings from South Africa 😊
My pleasure, I am glad this is useful to you! I can't wait to show a few beautiful variations of this pattern!
I did it!! Alisa, *thank you* for creating these videos (and hello neighbor, from another Tennessean 😊) My Mom used to sew many of my clothes, but I never asked her to teach me, which I deeply regret. I just sewed my first pair of pajama bottoms, from drafting to sewing, and because of your excellent videos, they are comfy, fit perfectly, and best of all are well-made! While there are lots of excellent sewing videos, yours are the first I’ve come across that teach drafting and various techniques of sewing to beginners. From the dialogue to the camera work, and of course the content - you are a wonder, young lady. I often find it hard to pick things up on TH-cam videos, but your instruction is so clear. Please continue to share your knowledge with those of us struggling to learn!
So, next up, pajama tops from one of your summer top videos!
You make it look so easy! Still afraid I'll do it wrong. But, I'm willing to try pants. Drafting a bodice still scares me too much!
O, I love your fabric!
Joy, hello there! If you don't do it- you will never know. Use old bedsheet, cheap cotton to make a test garment and go from there. Besides, pattern paper and fabric does not bite :)
Thank you Alisa. I always look forward to your new videos ever week. Most of my patterns and sewn pieces were from your tutorials. They are Straight forward and practical. More power! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 😀
Thank you so much.You have proven the simplest less complicated way is always the best way .So easy to understand.Thanks so much.Keep up the great way.
So I’ve made these pants before and am revisiting the video to redraft it on some slightly more durable paper (instead of the original baking paper which is all sorts of messed up).
This was the second garment I ever made and I still wear it all the time. I feel so proud of everything (minus the waistband which is a nightmare and I hope to do better this time!)
Last time I measured this on my living room floor and now I’m doing it in my little dedicated craft corner and the amount of growth in the near…6 months(?) since my last draft of this just really evokes a sense of pride. As someone who has only owned a sewing machine since January, this video is superb.
Congratulations! So well done and I am so, so happy that you are sharing your progress and your enthusiasm - thank YOU! Waistbands can be a little bit tricky - but with time you will find a way/method/technique, that speaks to you the most. So, so happy for you! Happy sewing :)
I am so glad I found you on TH-cam! You make me want to start sewing again! I messed up my pj pants pattern a long time ago and just haven't tried garments since...only blankets/quilts. You are so inspiring and I can't wait to set up my sewing area again. Thank you!
The best explanation. I have seen yet. Great step by step instructions
Such a great teacher❤️
Ahhh, thank you so much, miss Arlene!
You are so sweet and your explanations are wonderful. Watching from Malta
I just found your channel and you are an amazing teacher...I've watched a lot of drafting tutorials and you make it so EASY to understand! Binging your tutorials! Thanks 😊 I'll be becoming a member once I get my taxes done (so I have time to sew lol)
An excellent video, Alisa. Thank you!
OMG I can now draft me a pair of pants based on my body measurements! Thank you Alisa so much for your tutorial and after my Christmas sewing rush, I will indeed be making me a pair!
Brilliant. Thank you. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. 💜
I love you. You're a true sewing/teaching angel.
I love this so much ….a sewing Angel 👼🏼. Yes, I agree she is an Angel for sure in sooo many ways. I love her too.
I am so excited for this tutorial!
Love your clear instructions!
Another amazing "how to" video! Can't wait to do this :)
you are a great instructor at this field. Be proud of yourself.👍
Thank you so much for all your brilliant videos.
Always love your channel. Your instructions are simple and clear. Thank you for your generosity 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Brilliantly explained, thank you x
Hi,
Love, love,love your videos and your style. Great video as always.
Wow! You make it look so easy and simple… I’m starting to think even I can do that! Thank you 🧵🪡 looking forward to watching how to make the pants from the pattern
Hi Alisa, really I learned a lot with you thanks for sharing, you are the best.
perfection as usual.
Amazing information. I was mesmerized.
Thank you so much ! You make sewing so easy.
This is so in depth. Thank you 🙏
I love watching your videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Amazing! Thank you so much for this video - beautifully clear and easy to follow. I am definitely going to create a trouser pattern using these instructions and will let you know how they come out.
You are the best... I love your vlog very clear teaching.watching from Philippines
Great tutorial! You are so good in explaining ! 👍🏻😄
I have just found your channel and am very happy that I did. You explained that very clearly and simply, best I've found yet and I will definitely be trying this out. Thank you.
You simplified how to draft a pants pattern marvellously. Any chance you can show how to draft a more fitted pant?
It was great. Thank you for your good training🙏🙏🌹🌹
I was just looking for a pants drafting tutorial. Thanks Elisa!! Much love to you! ♥♥
Yay! I have more pants tutorials in the infobox, right underneath this video - take a look :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I've been binging your tutorials all weekend. I'm building a basic pattern collection that I can eventually pull from and mix and match outfits for
@@deidraliddell8543 Deidra, I like you! That's exactly the goal of what I do for myself and for this channel/viewers - good foundational pieces that you can mix and match, add accessories and never feel like you have nothing to wear and that are a good base for any future sewing variations :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I've been enjoying your tutorials so much and it's truly helped me. Sewing is one of my coping mechanisms for my anxiety and depression and is a huge outlet for my creativity. I also design appliques that I can iron on my pieces that represents different elements of my cultural heritage and that is extremely fulfilling for me
@@deidraliddell8543 Yesss! I totally hear you! Sewing has some magical powers, for sure. I am glad that it takes you to better place when you're not feeling the best. And I am glad that you found a bit of help on my channel :)
Thank you so much. I am so glad to have the instructions sheets.
Elaine, thank you! I am happy to hear that :)
Thanks for the video. You are great. Great pattern. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Super nice, winter is coming. Thanks
Thank you! I just think you are so enjoyable to watch.. :)
Hi , I am new to this. Just have to watch this many times to understand this and apply
that was real cool i have such a hard time fitting pants i always have to fold at the waist im going to try this im new at this i hope i can do it thank you
You're really great and hard-working. I've learned a lot from you... so Спасибо!
Aaaaa, привет! Thank you so much, I try to do my best in every video
Thanks alisa always watching and learn from youPhilippines 🇵🇭
Thank you for all your detail in these videos. I would like to make some PJ bottoms with flannel fabric I have. I do have a sheet to practice on.
Same here! Have you started yet?
@@mandarintomato9205 no, too many other things going on. I hope you have a good turnout.
Thanks! Learned a lot!
Brilliant!
I love the fabric for the pants!
Go it at Jo-Ann's in kids section! :)
you are great to always put centimeters beside inches!!! thx and 🤗 from Slovenia
Have made the basic pattern draft...looks promising😊. Have to see if i have some test fabric how good the fit is . Thank you for sharing ❤
You make this look so easy.
It is easy! I have squeezed every ounce of my knowledge to give you the easiest way to draft basic gathered waist pants.
👏👏thanks for sharing
my dearest, I always appreciate your talent shares. Thank You. there is a correction on the Pattern construction. The Knee Level is b/n or half of the Hip Level and Ankle Level, not the Crotch Level and Ankle Level.
Your awesome Alisa
Awesome💕💕
I think I can try this and make some comfy pajama pants for my kids for Christmas this year😊😊
This is great! Now to get up the nerve to actually start😉
Paper does not bite, fabric does not bite - all you have to do is just get started and try :)
Not gonna lie,Alisa you are the best teacher by far.im learning your craft from Africa Kenya
Hello there, I saw your other comment asking about how to fold fabric and cut, please open the infobox underneath this video and watch how to cut and sew these pants - you will see how to fold and cut fabric.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thankyou so much also do you have a video on how to place a zipper?
@@donparcianmureygy911 I do, go and take a look at all of my video on my channel page.
ThankYou ❤
My pleasure! :)
Gostei do tutorial👏👏👏
I am a far cry from the perfect pattern size. This is so wonderful. Thank you so much. Question: if the legs are too loose how would I make them a bit tighter?
Merci!
It's amazing how simple you make it, to the point that I would absolutely attempt to have a go at this myself!
You should! These are very easy gathered waist pants, there will be a video about how to sew these, how to add pockets, and how to add a waistband - so you will be ALL set :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity unfortunately material in NZ is so bloody expensive but I might just shout myself some for Xmas 😉
@@MrsGump oh no....make a test garment form old bedsheets, if you need to make any adjustments for your taste and then you will know for sure when you cut into your good fabric, that way you knw your hard earned $$ are in good hands!
Hey Alisa thanks for all great videos you do! Can you please make a video in the future If we are doing this pants for a man, what would we do differently? Also thank you so much for your efforts to make sure everyone can understand the video!
Usually this kind of pants are for both men and woman, this is just my opinion.
Thanks
You are sew creative. I shutter at the thoughr of taking my measurements.
I have lost weight but I need to loose more. I need to get over it.😁
You can do it, sometimes the first step is the scariest one, but we need to make it, the only thing - if you're planning on loosing more you might want to wait just a bit, so that way you're not doing the same thing twice, however it could be a could practice.
Because I have waaay more junk in the trunk, I taper the waist from back to front, or what covers the front won't accommodate the caboose!
My problem too! I've only made pj pants for myself from a pattern so far. I can't wait to custom make them!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️thank you soooo much Alisa😊😊 because Everytime I try to make pants for me the front is still a bit bulky, I HAVE to try this one
Simple fix that might work for you is to reduce crotch length for the front and reduce width of your front leg pattern at the hips/waist. With that being said - you need to make sure there is enough width in the pants after you reduce the front pattern. Take the pants you already have and problem solve why the front is bulky - that will give you an understanding of what to adjust.
I'm going to try this. I haven't sewn garments for years and never tried to make my own pattern. Your directions are so well done it gives me the confidence to try. Plus these are PJ's doesn't have to be a perfect fit. If this turns out well I would like to get your instructions sheets for all the things you made in the past. I know to get this one I have to join your channel which I will do, if this works out for me. My question is will the pattern sheets for previously done items be available to me if I just join in a few weeks? THank you.
When you join every thing she has made so far will be available to you. As she makes more beautiful and useful tutorials they become available. I'm so glad I'm a member definitely worth it!
@@debbiefarner1688 thank you
Hi Alisa!! Man, you make this so easy to do.. I can’t even believe it.. It’s nice to know I can draft what I want then mix & match outfits together.. I deeply appreciate everything you’ve done for me….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Hi, love watching your videos, thank you for all your hard work. Just wondering, with the measurement, if your belly is large than the hip measurement, do you use the belly measurement or the hip measurement. Thank you🙏🏾🌷
Thank you so much once again for making our life easy ❤️
Hi, love watching your videos, and thank you so much for all your hard work. Just wondering with the measurements, if your belly is larger than your hips, do you use the belly measurement , instead of the hip measurement, to calculate for the pattern. Thank you❤️
I made my own fleece pants. I will say there is always room for improvements. I feel pants are tricky than most things you can sew due to the fact you need to deal with negative space.
That is totally normal, when you translate 2D into 3D, from pattern on a paper to actual garment - it is normal to make adjustments.
I so much love your video. Very explanatory and step by step. I will start sewing now by following you. Do you do children's sewing as well? Will like to learn that from you if you do. Thank you.
Toying, thank you and please go to my channel and look at my videos - I have video for sewing for children and adults.
Thanx Alisa. I still strugle to get the pattern nice but getting there
Keep working through it, you can do it, I know it! remember - pattern drafting, even if using your own measurements - still needs adjustments, what looks good on paper does not always look good on the body.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity the problem is i do not get it to look good on paper so then it takes very long to get it to material🙉🙉
Another fabulous video, thank you Alisha. I would like to subscribe to your monthly update but can’t quite see how to do it.
Jo, hello there! Thank you! If you mean Memberships - then open the infobox, there are written instructions on how to do it. If you mean just subscribing - then click on "subscribe" button underneath this video. :)
Hi Alisa, Love how you explain the patterns so easily. But when I was trying this pattern for basic pants I got into some difficulty such as my waist is smaller than knees. When I reached the knee circumference on paper noticed my front knee went out of my waist pattern. 😮help me please
Hi Alisa. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. I really appreciate it. I just want to make sure, when I extend my crotch line to the left, is it with ease included divided by 2, or is it my original hip measurement without ease divided by 2 and that measurement extended to the left?
I am from South Africa and have used so many of your wonderful tutorials..
Hi, the way you drafted these pants this method can be used for males to correct? Also for shorts? Thanks a bunch!♡
Great tutorial! I can't wait to try this out! I was wondering when you added that 1/2 inch up from the waistband (@ 8:50 minutes) is that 1/2 inch the measurement one we should start with no matter what? Would we use a smaller measurement if we were making pants for a child? Thank you so much!!!
Joan, hello there! For kids the principle stays somewhat the same and you can start with 1/2" (taking it up) and if needed decrease it to 1/4". You will see that right away when you will try on the test garment if adjustment is needed. It is easier to cut away, than to do it all over again to add to it. It all depends on the comfort and size of the child. I have another member who made these pants for her daughter (I think maybe age 10-12yrs) - she was very happy with the fit and I think she left everything as is. Let me know how it goes and happy sewing!
😍👍
I have patterns for pj pants and sweatpants, thanks for your videos. I enjoy them regardless. What type of fabric is that?
I’m so small that I fit into teen clothes, so it’s cheaper for me to buy casual pants than to buy the fabric and make them, but I would like to make them.
Hi on the video at time 14:21.. why did you make the line and then curbed it? I am new in sewing. Just learning. P.S YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER❤
Hi. Nice and clear.
QUESTION: will this work for mens pants??
🧡❤️
Hello! I’m thinking about subscribing because you’re one of the only TH-camrs that I found to do make reasonable clothes for adults and your daughter! For the paid subscription, do you have children patterns as well?
Sorry, I just want to know what I’m gonna get into before subscribing to description is slightly vague
Hello there, that's because to know everything about Membership and what it is you have to watch the Membership trailer, to witch there is a link in the description. There are NO patterns for garments, as I don't do patterns, you draft your own, and Instruction sheets go through from the beginning of Membership through July 2022. By signing up you get access to everything I have in the Membership that you see in the trailer. I have only one kids Instruction sheet and that is for the kid's shorts. Here's the link to the Membership trailer - th-cam.com/video/uP9qSamkVkk/w-d-xo.html
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I am so sorry! I’ll watch the trailer. I prefer drafting myself to learn! So that sounds like a bonus. Thank you for your switch response.
Is this pattern method suitable and exactly the same for men's version of these pants?
