Oh my goodness. I actually want to do this. I just bought a beautiful piece of knit fabric (at a thrift store!). Now I just need to buy the pattern. Thank you SO MUCH!!
I have this pattern and even got it out last evening. Now to purchase the knit fabric to Go with it. I am so glad I opened my tablet tonight and lo and behold your video was there. Thank you for sharing your tips for sewing them.
This is an old style, over 30 yrs ago.I have made tights, jammies, evening, track pants. Etc. Even unisex. Back, and front in one,pattern. Thanks for sharing
I have three boys and every summer I would make their shorts exactly like this pattern. I would stack multiple layers of fabrics and cut them all out at once and spend the whole day Just making shorts. I found that this method was the fastest overall.
Hi thea I loved your pant tutorial the only thing I can't seem to do is the dart because u done it on black an I cudnt see much. Thanku your a great teacher of sewing 💐🌹
Thank you for the pattern recommendations. They are really great investments for wardrobe building and are very flattering. I love that they are easy and elegant.
I have bought this pattern and I’m curious as to why the wide-leg version has one large waist-dart and the straight-leg version has 4 smaller waist-darts? Has anyone made both versions? I’d guess that 4 darts gives a better fit. And presumably you could mix and match the leg shape with the waist shaping by cutting the paper patterns at the crotch line (the crotch points on the two pattern pieces do match up - I checked!) and sticking them to the other leg shape?
I have started sewing again after a 40 yr hiatus! I was only a beginner years ago and never had the time to really learn much due to family time and teaching. NOW, I want to sew garments. I am tall and a size 18 ish so I have a hard time finding tops that are long enough. I’m in my late 60’s and want a decent fit without tightness. You are helping me! I have a top I bought that looks so easy to recreate. No set in sleeves, v- neck with collar, drapey and very few seams. I’ll send you pics and could you guide me to a pattern that is close to this? Thank you!
I think I’ll try the buttermilk pattern. Do you use wooly nylon thread for these or just a knit needle is enough. The larger hem for weight to drape nice is a great tip. Easy pieces who wouldn’t love this . It’s a lot easier than taping 2 reg pant pattern pieces to cut as 1 piece. Which is doable then there would be no dart area and a pain to create. 👍 thank you for showing clothes making. I mostly make clothes and crafts no quilts.
Another well-thought-out tutorial, Laura. Thank you so much! Question: Could you combine the front and back of a simple, straight leg, elastic waist pants pattern (i.e., tape the front/back together along the side seam), draw a dart like the one in Butterick 6966 to take in some of the fullness, and cut the front/back out in the same way as the Butterick pattern? I like the idea of a one piece front/back that has some tapering on the side at the hip to give it more shape, and I have many straight leg elastic waist patterns that would fit the bill (and save me from buying yet another pattern ... not that that's a real issue 😉) In any event, I'd certainly love to see more garment tutorials. 😊
Today I purchased both patterns. Thank you for this great tutorial. On pattern envelope B6851, it only lists knit fabrics under suggested fabric type. Can woven not be used? Please advise suitability.
GREAT Tip for the dart, pinning! I'm surprised you aren't marking the notches. I'm jealous of your serger/coverstitch machine. Is it worth the investment?
Thank you for sharing! Can you please tell me the name of that white chalk or marker you used? I’m having trouble finding one that works on knits. Thank you!
How do you shorten the crotch length? all of my pants that I have purchased are too long through the crotch and I wear them pulled up almost to bra level?
I remember spending hours looking through the Butterick and McCall's pattern books and then getting the pattern out of the giant drawer! Thank you for reminding me. I was never very good at sewing but I tried hard. My Mom made clothes her entire life for all of us.
I love your style of teaching, but would be even more impressed if you demonstrate a way to add functional deep POCKETS. There must be a way to do this, even in knit clothing… I can’t wait to get these patterns… Thank you so much.
I would have look past this pattern because of the styled picture. Thanks so much for bringing it to our attention.
Ne drawing on the back. This gives you a better idea. Styling isn't always the best on patterns is it!!!
Your channel, and you, are both just wonderful. You are one of my very favorite sewing channels, and one of the first places I look for help.
Thank you very much and I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos
Love those darts. I always hated all the gathering at the waist. Thank you
You are making me want to do garment sewing again!!
Me too!

Very useful dart marking technique. Thank you so much. Lovely tutorial.

Very helpful video! Thank you.
Can you add side pockets?
Looks like fun. I'll have to get this one. Do you have an idea of how to add pockets?
Thank you Laura great video x
Thank you for this vlog. I have such trouble with knit/jersey fabrics sewing on the machine. Any tips from anyone would be of great help. Thanks.
We'll done tutorial. It was very professional
I bet you could even do a skirt with the pattern. Have you made either of the blouses? I love your videos.
Not yet!
How wide are your seams?
Could you do a video about adding pockets?
What is the exact fabric you used, I made it but I don’t think it was stiff enough

Catherine Sews made a set of boys pj's and shows how to combine the front and back. She didn't do darts because they are pj's but gives you an idea
Today I purchased both patterns. Thank you for this great tutorial. On pattern envelope B6851, it only lists knit fabrics under suggested fabric type. Can woven not be used? Please advise suitability.

awesome and thx!
How do you shorten the crotch length? all of my pants that I have purchased are too long through the crotch and I wear them pulled up almost to bra level?
I've put this elsewhere but even I can't find it again. Try Sinclair patterns. They have 3 ht fittings. The petite rise fits me perfectly.
Is there allowance for petite sizing in the pattern?
Because you adjust the tissue paper, it does work. I do recommend doing the tissue paper fitting first. And then you will always have a good copy
What are you using to mark the fabric? I’ve never seen a gadget like that!
What is name of quilt pattern behind you?! Thanks.
Apologies if I missed this somewhere, but what is the marking tool being used? I'd like to find one!
I remember spending hours looking through the Butterick and McCall's pattern books and then getting the pattern out of the giant drawer! Thank you for reminding me. I was never very good at sewing but I tried hard. My Mom made clothes her entire life for all of us.
Where do you get the pattern paper fabric?
Any fabric store such as Joann’s , Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, etc
I love your style of teaching, but would be even more impressed if you demonstrate a way to add functional deep POCKETS.
There must be a way to do this, even in knit clothing…
I can’t wait to get these patterns… Thank you so much.
I’m sorry if I missed it: What kind of fabric did you use? That’s always the hardest decision for me…
She used a knit for the tutorial, but the equivalent McCalls pattern had a zipper in it so you could use a woven on that one.
Find this pattern fits BIG!
❤❤❤

And the FIT???
