Fabulous tutorial 🥰 I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Don’t worry, we will never get sick of seeing you!
What is particularly nice about you is that even though you are a great seamstress, you never talk down to your viewers. It makes me keep coming back and continuing to learn.
Nice to see you back and well however don't overdo. We always look forward to your expert tutorials. Love the pocket idea.
Thanks so much for this detailed tutorial. I am off to find some great fabric to make these comfortable pants.
It is such a "classy" look to have tops that pick up the color of the slacks or skirts. You have a complete outfit rather than separates that have been worn together. Thank you for the tip on top stitching the center seam.
Hi Marina the pants look v very nice on you. Thank you for shar.
Super pants and pockets. This reminds me, I need to take a refresher course in your pant fitting videos. Thanks for all you do!
Brilliant as always Karina😊. When the Love Notions email dropped this morning I didn't think I would be interested in the Allegro pattern. You've changed my mind and have just ordered through your link. Thanks again xx Ps your backdrop is gorgeous.
My tummy needs control indeed. 😊I am watching this video with great interest!
You are so very helpful and kind in your teaching! Also, you are very funny with a great sense of humor! Love your videos!
Oh thank you!
Wonderfully! I watched the video and printed out the pattern. A couple more of your videos about fit and after the weekend I have new pants. Yay!
Thank you once again. Great content and inspired work
So glad you're feeling better and fully back in action. As for how often you post a video - every day would be fine as I would never tire of your fabulous vlogs. Take care.🌷
Great explanation of the pocket bag. I’ve been wanting to do that now that I’m getting back into sewing. Now, to take the plunge and get new patterns and make the adjustments to my post-menopausal body. 😔
I can't wait to see your blouse. I love all three of the fabrics you have. My favorite is the first one you showed us. Love the pocket hack and the yoga waistband. Thank you.
Thank-you x I have just purchased the pattern, I love the kangaroo type pockets idea 😎 and both pants look fab on you. I need to learn how to do yoga bands, looks comfy.
Could never “get sick of you”, Karina! 💕
They look fabulous Karina - so nice paired with the Rhapsody top. Blue is my favourite colour so love this ensemble, and adore the terracotta colour too. The second animal print fabric you showed is stunning! Have just purchased Allegro and this will be my first foray into woven trousers as I usually sew with stretch fabrics.
Have a look at my fitting series if you have time. It's super helpful :)
I love the second animal print with the pants. You are very creative! A born seamstress!
The animal print definitely.
Very tempted :)
I could listen to you all day! Beautiful brick colour. Going to look for your tummy control pattern to go onto the allegro which I’ve just bought. Many thanks
This hack is perfect and you explain it so well. I can’t wait to see your terra cotta outfit when you have completed the Aria. I’m so pumped for it! 😃
I'm sewing the shirt today!
I really like the second fabric
Love the pants you made and going to purchase the pattern. Most of the makes I have seen are casual and sporty. It’s good to see a formal look. I seriously started sewing in Sept after discovering your channel. I ended up with a capsule wardrobe (didn’t plan this). Sewing a few pairs of pants will complete the grouping. Hand basting, checking the fit and not rushing has made such a difference. It’s made me sew faster. Go figure. Thank you Karina ! Hope you are feeling better.🇨🇦❤️👋
You'll always see me in a more formal look. It's just me :)
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are always so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wonderful makes and incredible talent!
I'm glad you liked the video.
Thanks Karina, beautiful makes! And I LOVE the tummy support 💡 idea 😍
It feels so nice!
Beautiful fit and fabrics! Thanks for all you share Karina :)
What a brilliant idea to use pockets for tummy control!
Thanks Karina. Just purchased 😀. Love the terracotta pants and the top fabric options. I think I like the first one best.
Just bought that pattern. I have some peach coloured linen/rayon I can use 👍
I liked the first option of your fabrics, although they all match perfectly.
I am still conflicted. I will sew it today! need to choose now.
Excellent tutorial. And I love both pairs of pants. I especially love your little hacks. Looking forward to tops to match the brick ones. The navy outfit is elegant, for sure. My hat’s off to you for trying to catch up. Despite being fully vaccinated and boosted, I caught a very mild case of Covid last November which evolved into “long Covid”. Recovery from that took months. You are looking fantastic. But take care of yourself.
oooh...I'm wondering if I could add a maternity band AND the tummy support...
Thank- you Karina for the fabulous control tummy pocket tutorial. I have a a Indie culottes sewing pattern, with a control tummy pocket. I have tried making several toiles but the pattern never worked for me. The pocket bag is deliberately smaller widthwise, across the front pattern, on me just ends up being pulled at the pocket opening. I'm inspired now to fit the culottes pattern to me and redraft the pocket bag using your method 😍
If it's woven, it should be the same width. The fact that the fabric does not stretch and it stable will support the tummy with the layers. I can totally see the pulling happening on the sides if it's shorter and that's not a great look.
Love your videos you produce.
What a great addition to the Allegro’s! I’ve had this pattern awhile but haven’t made it yet because I’m not a fan of elastic waist pants. But this would give me the extra tummy support I want. Can’t wait to see what fabric you use for the new Aria! So excited for this pattern to be released 😊. Love your new pants Karina!
Fantastic im impressed must try this many thanks
Thanks. I hope you like the feel of the pockets. I love them.
I could never get sick of seeing your videos and am looking forward to the aria release. I grabbed the allegro bottoms via your link (as usual) and think it will pair well with the upcoming pattern. I've been looking for a nice button down pattern, despite my hatred of sewing on buttons.
Thank you Karina for sharing your beautiful makes! I love seeing that Rhapsody blouse too, my fave! and now with the Allegro hack for the front pocket hack! Genius. I have the Allegro pants already but haven't tried making them yet. I love your sneak peak with the fabrics for the new blouse coming out soon too from Love Notions! (To which I will use your affiliate link to purchase!) You are AMAZING and I appreciate your handholding with the stitching techniques giving me the confidence to try these beautiful outfits! I'm so glad you are feeling better, looking forward to more videos, but take care of yourself first and foremost. 🙂
So smart!!
Thanks 🤓
Hi Karina, So glad that you are doing better! Take good care of yourself as you regain your health. 🤗I look forward to each video you post; your content is so good, every time, even if you're just talking and not teaching. It's like visiting with a good friend! 😊 I have always preferred this secret tummy control in bottoms and wondered if you've ever considered using a power mesh as the layer next to the skin? Thank you for doing your up close tutorials. You're an excellent teacher.
Power mesh on a woven pant is really not going to help. It stretches and the pants don't. If you make the pocket smaller with power mesh, it'll pull on the sides. The fabric being woven and stable is enough to support the tummy. I'd leave power mesh for knits only.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Yes, good point on the stretch factor vs no stretch....I was thinking of the power mesh panel in some store-bought jeans and then realizing there's a bit of lycra in the denim that would stretch along with the power mesh.
I am going to have to make these up. Yours are great, as usual.
Please do!
The pants fit really .well how much ease do you work with round your hips ?
Depends on the style and the fabric. For linen 1-5-2” is ok for me.
will this tummy control panel work for cotton/lycra DIY leggings & exercise shorts or would they show thru the fabric?
No it will not work in the same way and yes they would show through leggings.
Do you ever use power mesh for the pocket lining?
Power mesh on a woven pant is really not going to help. It stretches and the pants don't. If you make the pocket smaller with power mesh, it'll pull on the sides. The fabric being woven and stable is enough to support the tummy. I'd leave power mesh for knits only.
At 15:32 you say you added too stitching but where?
I did say it: back crotch curve… top stitched :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thank you!
Karina question...you have mentioned a few times "that you put free content" on TH-cam. 🤔 My understanding was that your videos are monetized therefore by us watching, liking, and commenting and watching the ads you get paid for your content from TH-cam. Other TH-cam's I watch say really well? 🤷🏾♀️ So why would the content be considered "free"? Just want to understand. I think you offer amazing content and it would be a shame if you aren't getting paid to do so!!!
Anyone who watches videos on TH-cam is not paying to watch them. It’s a free platform. No one has to pay actual $$ to benefit from the sewing content on my channel. There is the premium option but very few people pay for that. If you knew how little ad revenue is, you would cry. Also, TH-cam keeps about 55% of the ad revenue…. Plus the taxes I have to pay, it’s a very small revenue. It does not cover even a speck of the materials, equipment and most importantly, my time and skill. This niche does not attract millions of views like other types of channels do. No one is going to become a TH-cam millionaire with sewing videos. What I say is very simple. The content is free because you are not paying TH-cam or me to be able to watch it. I hope this explains it. It’s way more complex. Patterns companies do not pay us to make videos at all. This is the reason I have my Patreon page and am an affiliate for some brands that I love. Otherwise, it would not be feasible for my family to go out of pocket to maintain the channel in the standard that it has.
