Hi guys! So just to clarify... the formula to find the back hip and front hip measurement is found in 0:20 of the video.
Example: Hip 44
Front hip = (hip/4) -0.25”
Back hip= (hip/4) +0.25”
Front hip is 10.75 while the Back hip is 11.25
Front crotch extension ( a quarter of front hip measurement ) see minute 5:14 of video
Back crotch extension ( half of back hip measurement) see minute 5:06 of video.
I hope this helps ❤️❤️🙏🏾
WATCH THIS to see how I sew the trousers, they came out perfect! th-cam.com/video/9zaxZwo8W4o/w-d-xo.html
So if I understand 44" is the circumference around the hips. So you would only use that formula if you didn't measure from center front to side seam to get your back hip arc and your front hip arc. So I took my measurements differently because I'm using a book and your videos (which are super helpful) and I measured from center front to side seam. So my (side seam) front hip arc and my back hip arc are already measured exactly where they need to be therefore all I would need to do is add ease to both. Does this sound right?
If I measured the circumference of the hips and divided by 4 all four sides would be exactly equal (and our bodies aren't equal, the front and back are different) that's why you would need to do the subtracting part to the front of the pants. Right? ರ_ರ I hope I'm understanding this right hehe.
Wait nvm so i just -.25" from front and +.25" to back
@@katherine2b you’re absolutely spot on Katherine! ❤️👏🏾
I'm sorry , when you say half of back hip measurement going by Hip of 44" for instance. Will be 11 25 divided by 2? Will that not be too long?
@@nkemamanambu5404 again; you’ll need to pay attention. In the beginning I shared the formula to get back hip & front hip from full hip measurements. It’s also in the pinned comments.
So many people have used this. Are you watching alone or you’re watching and drafting? It’s very clear and there are written instructions. Watch in slow motion if that helps but you need to draft
Thank you for sharing. I have a BS in a Fashion Marketing and management. I started with an AA in Fashion Design. THIS is the PROPER WAY to draft. I have NOT seen anyone use this method thus far. Purchase a pattern making book and this is what u will learn.
Thank you so so much for this feedback. Can I just say that you are amazing! Your qualifications are absolutely amazing🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
Thanks so much. Just drafted the pattern and made a mock and the pants fit perfectly!
Well done! I’m so happy you were able to follow it 🎉💕
It would be less confusing if the lines were actually labeled “waist, hip, crotch” etc instead of by letters. Other than that, it’s a great method.
Thank you for you suggesting however in pattern drafting letters/ numbers help because you have so many lines and some don’t have names as they’re just guidelines. Nonetheless I hope you were able to understand 😊
Very detailed video. I'll be adding to my playlist, so I can refer to it when I become confident enough to draft my patterns. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! Cheering you on ❤️
Thanks so much for this! I drafted a pattern that actually fits in less than an hour with no guesswork and no stress if it would actually fit. The mock up fits so well and I'm onto sewing the real thing now.
Hi Hannah! I’m pleased to read this! Good job ❤️
Thanks for this video, it's unique different front from other pant drafting tutorials. Hope to see it reflect to sewing. Thank you once again.
Thank you so much. I’m happy you find it useful ❤️
thank you so much! I’m definitely saving this video for when I have time to actually complete this project haha
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Yes it was worth my while. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Downloaded this video before watching I had to search for your channel all over to comment because I wasn't suscribed. You gave me what I have been looking for, the tutorial was very detailed and we'll explained. And infact m subscribing right now. Well done.😍
Thank you so much Deborah.
Missed this and just saw this ❤️❤️
I’m grateful for your support
Yup... loving before viewing it
Awwww thank you so much ❤️❤️
From the beginning I was watching very carefully ,it was a very very good tutorial.Thank you very much.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💐💐💐💐🇱🇰🇱🇰
Awwww! Thank you so much Thariq. I’m happy you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to you ❤️❤️❤️
Why don’t you upload more videos about boys shorts, jogging pants ,3/4 shorts etc. thank you very much bye 👋.
I found the tutorial helpful, I took my time and made notes too. I put it in slow motion to ensure I understood what I'm doing.
Thank you so so much! You’re actually on a roll! 💪🏾
You should make me one or two outfits lol! ❤️❤️
@@SewUnique_ng I'll get them done this weekend lol!
We don’t use inches in my country yet I didn’t get confuse at all well explanation 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Awwww thank you so much!
I’m glad to read this. You use CM? What country are you from?
I think my head is going to explode but I will give this tutorial a try now
Lmao! You’ve got this ❤️❤️❤️😬
Bravooooo Madam... Everything is on point ...keep it up
Thank you so much ❤️❤️🙏🏾
I'm done. I'm sooo excited to test this pattern. I wish I could upload pics!
Yay! Welcome mama! Send to me on Ig if you don’t mind ❤️👏🏾
@@SewUnique_ng what’s your Ig?
Nice one boss 👍can wait for sewing part
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️ I appreciate you
Coming on Sunday 💪🏾
This for me is the best pattern I have seen this far. I am going to make a pattern using this is a short bit. Thank you so very much
Tricia! Thank you so so much! I appreciate you and your feedback ❤️❤️
So the video for me was clear... I understood your instructions. The pattern came excellent. I am making the pattern for someone with a large abdomen so I actually had to come out a little bit with the waist line on the side with the hip bone... about 1inch to accommodate the abdomen. I have done pattern making tutorials from TH-cam and I have to say I really enjoyed yours. Will definitely use your channel to help me create some more patterns such as a blouse etc. Thanks so very much. Excellent job.
@@triciaapplewhite4939 I’m happy you enjoyed it and I’m actually so impressed you made those modifications! I’ll have advised that as well. Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to seeing you here ❤️❤️
Thank you... I had an excellent teacher ; ) ... And I am also good with math... I am not going anywhere but right here.
❤️❤️
i have a submission due in a few days and this was so helpful 😭 thanks 💕
Well done!!! I’m so happy you found it useful ❤️💕❤️💕
Great vid👆👍
Thank you so much Laylaah ❤️
This vdo help me for my trouser draft,again thanks mam
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you & yours
Hlo mam please make a video on man's shirt drafting on paper pattern
Saw the message you sent Funbi. Thanks for that question Funbi!
❤️❤️
Wow
❤️❤️❤️
Great video dear, please can you redo the video for us using cm instead of inches. Thank you 🙏
Unfortunately I can’t. Feel free to convert where applicable. Same principles apply. Thank you so much for your support and for watching ❤️🙏🏾
This video so goated
Thank you ❤️🙏🏾
Hi, this has really been helpful. So how do you convert this pattern into a romper or jumpsuit. And for skinny pants, do I need to put in thigh, knee and calf measurements. Thanks
Thank you so much; I’m glad you enjoyed it. For fitted pants, you’ll need to make it fitted using those measurements you mentioned and the centre line as a reference point. To make jumpsuits, rompers etc; you’ll need to make a bodice, combine both so the darts meet. I hope this makes sense?
Please make a Palazzo pants pattern
Okay ma’am 🤎
Nice bt confusing cos there is no example body measurement. Is it ok if you put the body measurements??
Hi Beth, thank you for the feedback, putting measurement’s might confuse others cos it’s supposed to be teaching you the pattern principle and not how to make my own pattern but I am happy to try one using my measurement. It’ll be up in May 🤎🙏🏾
Was going well until I needed to add darts on waist and I go 1.5” over my a line from o.
Hiya! You don’t need to make your dart 1.5” you can make yours 0.5” ❤️🙏🏾
You mark on the back piece K AND the front piece L. What measurement line is that?
K & L are two guide lines that help in finding the mid point and drawing the crotch 🙏🏾
Thanks for the tutorial. Please my questions goes thus:For instance my Waist is 30inches and my hip is 40 inches. I used hip/4)+0.25=10.25 on the back part of my trouser. This is my question : after taking 0.75 from the back trouser and then measure my 1/4 of my waist + the dart intake of 2.25 , I have nothing to use as the hip curve part. Pls what is the solution. Many thanks
Hello Funbi. Trust you’re well.... so for the dart intake there’s no fixed size. You can decide to use 1.25 for the dart then you’ll have 1” for the hip curve part. I hope this helps
Let me know if you need me to clarify further ❤️
Omo, I got lost with all this gklb...😂
Lol. If you’re interested, you can rewatch it slowly, pay detailed attention & watch it ❤️
Does this work for men’s trousers as well
Hi Charlotte, I suppose the base with be the same but key differences in the crotch area and possibly the darts. I don’t know too much about mens stuff. 🥲
P.S: apologies for the tardy response 🙏🏾💕
thanku so much it help me for my project
Thank you ❤️ I’m happy you find it useful
@@SewUnique_ng welcome can u help me about how to measured front and back waist and hip
@@laraibnaveedkhan7133 sure! The formula is in the video
However here’s the formula again
Hip measurement divided by 4 plus 0.25 is back hip
Hip measurement divided by 4 minus 0.25 is back hip
I hope this helps ❤️
@@SewUnique_ng ok thanku
waist measuremnt back
@@SewUnique_ng ok thanku i help me alot
Thanku so much mam 👌👌👌👌
Thank you ❤️❤️
@@SewUnique_ng 😊
Hi, which is the follow up video that you mention where you sew the trousers?
Hello! Kindly check the description bar, all videos mentioned should be linked there. Or at the end. The end screen
Please how to I adopt this pattern into a fitted pant? How do I incoperate my thigh measurement. I want it fitted on my thigh. Thank you so much
Hi ya! To make this fitted; you’ll have to work on the pattern; do some alterations etc. I will do a video on that soon. If you like; you can book a paid video call session and I’ll show you. ❤️
@@SewUnique_ng how much is the paid session?
If waist is 34 & hip is 39 who can be add a dart of 2inch? Plz explain
If waist is 34 inches
Back waist is 34/4 -0.25 = 8.25
Back hip is 39/4+0.25 = 10
That measurement won’t let you add 2” so just work with the excess for your dart and side seam.
I’ll say 1” for back dart & 0.75 for side seam
Hope this helps
For the back waist are you using a 1/4 of the back waist +2.25?
Hello! Yes I am .. 2” for the dart; 0.25” for the ease ❤️🙏🏾
@@SewUnique_ng Ma, does that mean we are not using the back waist measurement ((Hip/4)-0.25)?
I mean the back waist is now hip/4 + 2" dart and 0.25" ease
A little confusing but cool

At 5:52 do we use french curve?
Hey 🤎
I used a pattern master; however you can use a protractor to mark the angle & use any curved tool you want 🙏🏾

Hi, I’ve watched this video 3 times now from start to finish and I’m still confused because points G, D and H never came into use in the entire pattern making process. Am I missing something?
Hi Zae, are you still confused? Kindly state what exactly is confusing you so I can attempt to clarify ❤️
My hip measurement is 41.75. That divided by four +.25 =10.68. It is not a enough space for 3/4 space and the dart. Should I make the hip measurement larger? Like 42?
Have your been able to answer this?
Is it compulsory to make the dart 1"?. Can't the total dart be 1" making it 0.5" on both sides instead of 1"?
Oh no, it’s not. Kindly watch the video, I explained that you can do less. ❤️❤️
Can you explain how I can calculate the front and back cross extensions. The hip measurement I am using is 44 inches. Thanks
Hi Nadine. I’ve put all the calculations and formulas in the video. Kindly watch it again & pay attention.
Example: Hip 44
0:20 in video shows the calculations for:
Front hip = (hip/4) -0.25”
Back hip= (hip/4) +0.25”
Back hip is 11.25
Front crotch extension ( a quarter of front hip measurement) see minute 5:14 of video
Back crotch extension ( half of back hip measurement) see minute 5:06 of video.
I hope this helps
Thanks a lot for yr prompt reply. I shall hv a go at sewing a pair following yr instructions.
@@nadineramakrishnan5178 ❤️ let me know how it goes x
My measurements for the back hip and using the 3/4" at the top leaves me no space for the dart. what am doing wrong?
Let me know if I still need to answer ❤️
Yes!! I have watched several tutorials and don't understand any of them when it comes to this point. When you go from O to the mark just before A. I take my waist measurement and then add two and a half inches. It's past the a mark
Excuse maam !!
May i know what is the measurment of your hip and waist
Cause im copying your toturial but
I just cant follow it.
Like when im connecting the mark O to the waistline
My waistline is 7.75 then you said +2.25=10
But my hipline is 9.5 why is the waistline so big and the hipline is so small do i not get right the measurement of the body..
Plss can you answer me because its my project😔
I need help thank you🥰
Hello.
How are you?
Okay so do you mind watching it again but slower and if you don’t get it, reach out and I’ll be more than happy to help you.
Is that okay?
Yes thank u very much🥰
Hi maam❤
Im just curios.. where is your measurement on upperthigh on the pattern is it okay if i also dont put it in the pattern?
Sorry for asking ahhaha
Umm i have a last question if you mark out the front hip measurement +0.25 for ease do it has to be + or -
Cause the formula is Hip/4)-0.25
And the back is already +.25 on the hip
Do the front will also +.25 or -.25
Sorry for asking😅
@@RemMac9073 hello! Because this is a basic block & it’s big, I don’t need it yet. The moment I decide to make it fitted, I’ll need it
made the pattern and now can’t figure out how to sew it together…. help!!
Hiya! Kindly watch the video on how to sew it ❤️
@@SewUnique_ng Ahh yes, thank you!
Hi, what if I am making trousers for someone in another location, how do I calculate the crotch depth? Thank you.
Hello, you don’t calculate it, just like hips, waist & trouser length, the measurement should be taken.
The only issue might be ensuring it’s taken properly. I hope this helps ❤️
@@SewUnique_ng so then are trouser patterns reliable 😥😥😥 in terms of starting a ready to wear line ??
@@victorynemi7369 yes they are… the same way brands develop their size charts based off a series of test, you develop your size chart including the crotch depth after a series of test. I find that my Uk size 10-12 uses a similar crotch depth (high waisted pants) of 11”
@@SewUnique_ng thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗 i really appreciate
The M and N is confusing to me. You said measure half the back hip for M and quarter the front hip for N. I don't understand that cos they don't look accurate to me since you didn't mention the measurements
Hello; if you follow & you draft while watching; you’ll understand. Quite a number of people have successfully drafted theirs using this method & pattern. You need to spend some time on it ❤️🙏🏾
Alright thank you, I will keep practicing
how much did u marked from c to d
Hi Fatima. Please watch the video. All the information needed is in there ❤️
ok
Omoh! I just started watching and boy am I confused 🥵
It's all so complicated 😩
Oh my! Awwwwww ❤️
Sending you lots of love; kindly calm down & rewatch it a few times.
Would you consider enrolling for a private class.
I’m confused already. 😂😂 Oh well
Ha! I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it. Is there anything I can do to help?
D.I.Y with Sew Unique by Adunni Thank you luv. I have the paper . But the hip ruler and the others I’ll need to order or see if Joanne’s has them. I really don’t understand ( my issue, not yours☺️) how to use it correctly. Kind of hard to see how your actually doing it. Visual learner here. Thank you again. Your very kind. And I appreciate that❤️
Mz Dee Mz Dee you’re most welcome. When you get them do let me know. I’ll help you out via Instagram or something ❤️ I appreciate you
A little bit confusing to a beginner.
Oh yeah? I’m sure it’ll be a lot less confusing if you’re actually practicing it, you watch it a few times and in slower motion. Pattern drafting isn’t necessary a walk in the park but if you’re ready, you’ll get the hang of it ❤️
I'm so so confused
Awwwwww I’m sorry about that. Kindly practicalise it as you watch. Might help simplify it
