Pirate trousers for the win!!! I love trousers with cool button plackets. I even made a fancy brocade pair of button up pants for my Witcher OC. (I've still yet to finish them, because they're missing 1 button lol). I'm loving the energy of this already. Much love 💜
ahh yes pirates! i was a pirate last year for halloween but just used a cheap store bought costume. i’ve been thinking about redemption and this inspired me more. i love the vest… i may or may not need to add it to my everyday wardrobe
Love how the pants turned out. The button fly look so perfectly old-timey 😍 I like pants that fit loose, too. Need the extra room for sticking lots of things in my pockets! Can't take any more of that "slim-fit" nonsense, I hate it when my phone is digging into my hip in pants that are tight around the hips - pleats for the win 😄
I used the pirate costume to make the shirt and coat for my daughter many. She was cast as Captian Hook and wanted a fancy coat. It was my first project of this sort, and my first project this big that I fully lined, but it turned out rather well. We sized it up a bit to help her change quickly (she was also Mrs. Darling), and she can still fit into it.
Thank you for doing pants! I was in the middle of a pair, but I got sick of the instructions and abandoned them. Now I have a better idea. And YES to button fly!
PIRATESSSSSSSS 😍😍😍 love this aesthetic and I've always sort of side eyed that pattern because it looks so gimmick-y but good to know the pants are actually okay
I used the Ines pattern recently, and I found it super helpful to watch the video in tandem with reading the instructions. I felt like I spent more time reading and re-reading the instructions than sewing at times, but I got it in the end. Didn't think to use a button fly, so thank you for the inspiration to revisit the pattern very soon!
Love the corduroy pants! They're definitely achieving that adventurer / pirate look. This video will be super helpful for when I finally decide to make pants with a front enclosure. I usually make them with buttons on each side as the front buttons look intimidating.
I love this! I want pants like that but I’m afraid that they wouldn’t work with my shape. Also, your tooth stuff takes me back to 2020 when I broke my front tooth on a popsicle right after every dentist in the area closed and we had just moved for my husband’s job so insurance hadn’t kicked in yet. I remember scrambling to find a dentist that would take emergencies after hours and not being able to bite anything for months. It was so frustrating. And I kept being afraid that my front tooth would fall out while waiting for my permanent implant. I was very grateful for masks during all that. And I was so happy when I finally had a permanent tooth again. Hang in there!!!
I do think it makes sense for a commerial pattern to put the darts in when the vertical seams are done as hip shape varies a lot and waist seams are big enough that you can put them in the machine flat
Your fabric choices were so fire, I love the inside fabric for the vest and that cord is sooooooo nice. I'm so amped for all this good good ren faire stuff. Also, three different sets of scissors in one shot is so relatable omg.
Hi Minjee😊 so inspiring as always! I love that look and I can't wait to see the rest of the "collection "😉 The buttons you choose are to die for 🤩 so in the theme! Thanks for sharing and see you in your next video 🥰
I wonder if the Etsy pattern said to put in the pleats and darts after the legs are sewn together to make it easier for fitting purposes? Like, it makes no sense from a construction point of view, especially if you've already made a mockup, but for a home sewist who's like NAH I don't need a mockup, then putting in darts and pleats once you can try it on and fiddle with fit kinda makes sense.
yeah probably, tho i feel like it's just as easy to just measure the waist and compare it to your own waist? idk it is a very strange order of steps haha
I'm so happy to see you go through the Ines pattern - its been in my stash for so long, but I've held off on trying them. Happy to know some things to look out for when putting it together!
Thanks, this is really well timed for me. I'm about to mock up my first pair of pants. Your outfit came out so cute. Well done. Looking forward to the rest of the project. Hope you guys are doing well. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
@@moth.faerie We're doing OK, thanks. The mock-up for the dolman sleeve blouse looks like it may only be the one change, so improvement... I was honestly expecting to do multiple changes to the pattern. Yay. The pants are coming together this afternoon, but the paper trial is working well, so I have all hope (hopefully I didn't just jinx it, oh sewing gods both the old and the new). You seem really charged about getting to do more leatherwork. Good on you. Have fun...
Ooo I'm not personally a big fan of trousers anymore but I love how this one's came out, the button fly looks so good. Tbh I'd die if I had to sew this many buttons xd I have dyspraxia so buttons are very challenging for me. I'm so excited at the pirate shirt video. If you would be interested Bernadette Banner has a great free shirt pattern that I used myself and it really worked well for me, tho unlike her I stitched everything on the machine
i feel that, i usually mostly wear skirts! ive tried bernadette's pattern before and i found it to fit very strangely, like it doens't want to sit on my shoulders it tends to fall backwards a lot of that makes sense?
I love the fabrics you chose for the vest! The waves are such a cute and beautiful touch to peek out! Wow, the pants instructions really were weird...did you let her know? she may change her pattern and instructions due to your feedback. At least the vest seemed to be a lot easier and looks fantastic! Sorry about the buttons...I usually get buttons from people who are selling lots of buttons or off thrift store finds that I like pieces of and re use. I'm so excited about the outfits coming up!!
thank you! i didn't let her know, i didn't really think of that 😅 i def need to keep an eye out for buttons just generally rather than scrambling for specific projects
Wa the pants cut out for a ra ge of sizes or a fixed size? If going on for example hip measurements the pleat ia made after because you pleate it down to right waist size. Me not sure I explained it good here. But loved the look on those plants
So I've started sewing the pants pattern after watching your video cause pants being too big is good for me since I can never find pants that are big enough for me to put on. But then the pattern waist band was too big even though I measured according to the size according to the chart. So I had to do the alterations based on the finished garment measurements, so yeah this pattern is a mess 😅
I just made pants with darts and I put them in before the waistband but after assembling bc I found it easier to figure out how big to make them to fit me perfectly. However, I wasn't following a pattern I was just winging it. Maybe it's in that order bc thats how they did it when creating the pattern and didn't think to change it
I tried that same pattern for trousers and I found the instructions bonkers and the fit was just... bad. The picture looks cute but they also were weirdly baggy in the front and around the knees for me. I recommend any other trouser pattern tbh.
Omg!! I've wanted some masculine piratey clothes for so long but wasn't sure how to achieve the look I wanted!!! Thank you!!
I’m glad it was helpful!!

Yes!!! Love a good placket
Ooh that sounds exciting tho! I feel you on the single missing item stalling out a project 😅
ahh yes pirates! i was a pirate last year for halloween but just used a cheap store bought costume. i’ve been thinking about redemption and this inspired me more. i love the vest… i may or may not need to add it to my everyday wardrobe
I was a cheap Halloween pirate in high school! Gotta start somewhere haha
I've been slowly building my hand-sewn pirate wardrobe so I'm super excited to see your spin on things!🏴☠
ooh exciting!! i'd love to see yours!

I love both pieces!! Those pants, though, are the best thing ever!

ooh i didn't think to look at the video! haha i should do that
It was great to see pants! More pants lol! I want to learn how to make them because store ones never fit me right 😅
I feel like the button closure adds to the pirate aesthetic and just looks more visually appealing! Loved how things turned!
thank you!
Love the corduroy pants! They're definitely achieving that adventurer / pirate look.
This video will be super helpful for when I finally decide to make pants with a front enclosure. I usually make them with buttons on each side as the front buttons look intimidating.
thank you! they're not too scary, you should definitely go for it!
More pants patterns please! I find pants so hard to make and fit and would love some vetted options to try.
i'll see if i can work more into my designs in the future!
Same! I'm trying to make block patterns using commercial patterns as a starting point but haven't gotten anywhere with trousers yet, except pjs
@@moth.faerie store bought pants never fit me well so I would love to make my own but sewing hasnt really gone very well for me thus far
I love this! I want pants like that but I’m afraid that they wouldn’t work with my shape.

oh yikes that sounds horrible. my insurance isn't great but at least it's covering some of it 😅
I do think it makes sense for a commerial pattern to put the darts in when the vertical seams are done as hip shape varies a lot and waist seams are big enough that you can put them in the machine flat
They wanted the darts down when the waist band went on so after all the side seams went in
@@moth.faerie yes, at a point where you can try it on
i really like the adventuring trousers! looking forward to all the other pirate stuff!
I am so here for multiple pirate looks! Love the trousers, they look so comfy 🧡
I love the fabric choice! They look super comfortable and I love buttons so much better than zippers. Can’t wait to see the rest of the look!
Erika
thank you! they are super comfortable haha
The Simplicity pirate one is a great pattern-- I have used it to make some Regency outfits for my husband, with only small changes needed.
oh cool thats good to know!
Your fabric choices were so fire, I love the inside fabric for the vest and that cord is sooooooo nice. I'm so amped for all this good good ren faire stuff. Also, three different sets of scissors in one shot is so relatable omg.
thank you so much! haha gotta use whatever scissors are nearest to me in that moment 😅
Hi Minjee😊 so inspiring as always! I love that look and I can't wait to see the rest of the "collection "😉 The buttons you choose are to die for 🤩 so in the theme! Thanks for sharing and see you in your next video 🥰

Pirate fits? YES YES YES!

Yesssss. Love me some pirate aesthetic. I'm so excited about these pants. Definitely gonna give them a go at some point. I need them desperately.
yess you should they're so comfy

oh good! hope your pants turned out well! i'm doing pretty ok, just super busy but thats normal haha. i hope you're doing well too!
@@moth.faerie We're doing OK, thanks.

Women with large waist-to-hip difference unite! I always have to grade down the waist on skirt and trouser patterns.
Very cool! I love the pocket lining!!
Those pants are so cute and look so comfy! Also: Yay pirate shirts!!!

yeah probably is how they did it when making their own but very weird to include in a finished pattern
I have that same Janome sewing machine.
I tried that same pattern for trousers and I found the instructions bonkers and the fit was just... bad. The picture looks cute but they also were weirdly baggy in the front and around the knees for me. I recommend any other trouser pattern tbh.
I've been watching your videos and was wondering how your cutting table is pinnable? Was there a tutorial you followed? And I love the pants!
it's got a layer of homasote under the cover
@@moth.faerie Thank you!
Could anyone help me with how many yards I may need for pants, it’ll be my first time making something I’m a 28” waist 😅
Pants!
