- I made my own pants...though technically this is a DIY gurkha trousers video, it's not too much of a pants making tutorial because I found out how much I sucked at this. But hey, look at this as my journey of making my own pants from scratch in one week. I plan on making more so once I perfect it, I'll make a tutorial.
But for now, here is my gurkha trouser tutorial/journey.

Amazing. Very impressive. Maybe you could eventual make your own clothing line. Call it something unique that's never been used before. Levi's ... or something like that.
Hahaha! Thanks a ton! Actually that's the plan ;) it's gonna be good
Sorry this took so long guys...it was a long project. I plan on making more pairs until I get the pattern down pat. Once that happens, I'll probably do a real tutorial for you guys.
The amount of details of that editing. Impressive!
Thank you so much! It's always an honor to see someone who appreciates the details of editing
I've always dreamed of making my own clothes and this video makes me want to do it even more!
Do it my man!
This is it lads... demetrios has become a DIY channel 🔨🛠
😂 We've made it.
I'm new to the sew-your-own-clothes world. Last Sunday I spent all day working with a vintage pattern, sewing a pair of 1940's slacks for my DD. I've never made trousers before and You|tube was so helpful. Watching your process was like a rollercoaster! The excitement builds for your dream pants to take away on holiday and all the planets are in alignment with an excellent score with fabric on sale. Working to a deadline, puzzling out pattern pieces, the frustration of slow going as you're learning/relearning skills...this was my Sunday's journey but I had a pattern and some dodgy instructions that assumed I knew what I was doing :D
I've enjoyed a few of your videos and haven't had a deep dive to find out if you ever made these again. I hope you did! If it's helpful for aspiring sewers, here's what I've learned from making making garments: Make a MUSLIN (a mock up). If we're lucky it could be a 'wearable muslin'. I used old bed sheets. The first pair, I made everything according to the pattern so I could understand the techniques. The second pair with alterations - I didn't bother with the waist band, zip, pocket, finishing the seams; it was just to check the fit of the leg, waist height and circumference. Kinda wish I'd done this with the first muslin I poured my heart and time into but then I'd not have learned what needed to change. WASH and dry the fabric intended for wearing/the good stuff before use as it can shrink a lot. It's a painful lesson :( Serging around the fabric or zig zagging the edges before washing helps to retain the shape and prevents lots of fraying. Wash and dry the fabric using the settings/machines you intend on laundering the completed garment with. SERGE or zig zag the edges of the cut out fabric pattern pieces before going ahead and sewing them together. My vintage pattern said to sew, press seams apart and then finish (zig zag, overlock or pinking shears) but one brilliant TH-camr said serge the individual pieces first; it's easier. There's a 'how to sew tailored trousers' on SKILLSHARE. The audio is awful but the instructions are great - from taking measurements, creating the pattern pieces and each step of the sewing process; it's really helpful. I loved your pants and am so happy you loved them too! It takes time and energy and motivation and resources to do a project like this; thanks for documenting it. It's been a while but I hope your holiday was fantastic. You earned it!!
Wow, thank you so much for those incredible tips!! I can't thank you enough for that...I'm working on a second pair as we speak and it's going well so I can't complain!
My holiday was the best I ever had, honestly...I hope to go back one day because I left a piece of my heart there. Thank you so much! Good luck with all your sewing endeavors!
3 minutes and I am ROFL. Hahaha! Fabulous vid!
Thank you so much as always, my friend! Always appreciate it!
"Gotta look at the glass half full" 😂
Dude, I feel like I couldn't do it. Making your own pants (While having tons of creative freedom) it's hard to have them look right. So props to you.
I tell myself that all the time to no avail lol!
Thanks so much my dude...I'm honestly surprised I got as far as I did 😂
My god! You watched those Spongebob episodes with a loupe 🔍 to get all that footage 😂😂😂 Awesome edit, great pants, exquisite editing, coloring, photography, DIY, humor sense. DAMN, I have to subscribe after watching all
Thank you so much, my man! I actually cheated with the Spongebob timecards and just downloaded a video of every timecard in Spongebob...someone did all the work for me haha!
Please know I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I learned and I laughed, thank you 🥰
That's what I love to hear, Kinyun! Thank you so much!
I subscribed just because of this one vid loved that you made these so cool
I'm absolutely honored...thank you so much!
Congrats. You're my first subscription in years.
Wow...I'm absolutely honored! Thank you my dude 🙏
This channel deserves to get big.
Thanks so much, Bryan! I seriously appreciate it... Maybe some day 👊
All the blood, sweat and tears...BRAVO... great pants, effort and video. Hats off to you!
Thanks so much! Definitely a test of patience lol
This guy makes great videos solo production more a film guy than a tailor great job overall
That’s so impressive! Killer pants & video dude!
Thanks so much, my dude!! Seriously appreciate it
That was epic!!!!! What a emotional rollercoaster and great journey. That cliffhanger with the rip got me🤣🤣. Great job!!! You must have put so much work in this vid. Loving it ;)
Thanks so much, Patrick! That's a perfect way to describe the journey. Seriously, thanks for the kind words my man!!
I like these pants overall. Very entertaining man.
Thank as always, brother!!
Maaaa Maaan....all the imperfection you made in this video and to this trousers made the video Perfect!!!!...keep it that way
Thank you so much, brother! I absolutely appreciate the words...will do!
I think that you did a good job afterall, remember that no one were experienced the first time they tried out something new. I think I will make a pair like these since I found them very nice.....
That's absolutely true...definitely try it yourself!
Love seeing you're process and how much you learned along the way! I'm not completly done with the video, so you may address this, but it didn't look like you pre-washed your fabric. This could cause problems with your finished garment. I hope this is not the case.
Very impressive! You should be very proud. Trousers look great, love them.
Thank you so much, my man!! I'm honored by your words...
Ok, Any dude that documents making his own pants deserves a like because that's just...awesome.
Bro, I appreciate it so much...thank you, my dude!
@@DemetriosLevi And a vintage Ed Bassmaster reference? No choice. Subscribed. Bang on Bro.
Great video. Ah, DIY projects that take way longer than you thought they would. I’ve been there. Only I wanted to throw mine off a cliff when I finished. Your video makes me think it might be worth trying again!
Thanks so much, Chris! We both know full well the struggle. I'd say go for it! The more we do, the better we get
they actually look very nice!!! congrats!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Dude this Channel is so fucking good. The Sewing Machine Prep scene was gorgeous.
Thank you so much, brother! I'm absolutely honored by your words
I would have absolutely no patience to do this! Very impressive!
Thanks so much man! I think the only reason I had the patience for it was because I forced myself by making it into a video lol
Pls we neeed the tutorial!!! Love your passion for Gurkha!
Thank you so much! I'd have to make a better pair before I do a tutorial...but hopefully I'll be able to haha!
Wow, great job ! Where do you find your pattern for a gurkha trousers ? Thanks a lot !
Thanks so much! I just based it off of a normal pair of pants and made sure I had room for pleats and then for the waist band I actually just based it slightly off of a pair of gurkhas I already have (for the button/zip closure) and looked at pictures of different Gurkha pants on Instagram until I found one that I thought I could do with relative ease
Ok, thanks for the advice
Awesome video. Great job at trying. I’m your new fan now
Thank you so much, Matthew!! I'm honored 🙏
This is such a cool video! Love your style, you made me laugh a few times too which was nice.
Thank you!! Glad I could entertain you and bring out a few chuckles
Good job man . Loved the video . Inspiring
This quality of video is amazing
Thank you, my man! Comments like this make it all worth it 🙏
Absolutely fantastic, Levi !!!!!!!
Thank you!!! So glad you liked this one!
Awsome ...I really enjoyed it💥..
The bgm was perfect..💯..
Plz tell me the bgm song and the camera you by which you shooting..
Great
Bgm at around 10.00 minute
Thank you so much! I filmed this on a Canon Rebel T3i
and the background song at the ten minute mark is a Griko (Greeks in Italy) folk song called Άντρα μου πάει - Μαρία Φαραντούρη or Andra mou paei by Maria Farantouri
Amazing first attempt! Those pants looks great at the end. I have a question: what machines did you used and which one would you recommend for a beginner?
Thank you so much, Maria! I used a Singer Talent (not sure which model number but one of the Talent Singer's), which is the only one I've used. Some got bad reviews while others did better. I think the Tradition model is good too. The serger is a white superlock electronic 734D. Old but gold!
Demetrios Levi Thanks, Levi!😄🖒
I like how this was a progressive story told day by day. Very entertaining and well done. In my opinion, your best video yet!
Dude, I'm honestly super surprised...thanks so much bro!!
Demetrios Levi hard work pays off bro!
Great video and an excellent first attempt. I like your style man.
Thank you so much my man! I always appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
I’m in the process of sewing a jacket. I hope I can use this to make pants to go with it
Absolutely!! When you start to make the pants it might be a good idea to go with jetted pockets for side pockets instead of the traditional. I've found that it's easier to keep the drape and makes it much easier to alter if done so...good luck!!
@@DemetriosLevi thanks!
Awesome work man. Love your channel
Thanks so much, my man!! Really appreciate the love 👊
Dude you are the best TH-camr hope you are doing well
These came out real nice
Thanks! Not too shabby I gotta admit
Amazing! Great job. Anyone knows the song at 6 minutes, what a vibe!
Thank you so much! Yeah that song is a Griko (Greeks in Italy) folk song called Άντρα μου πάει - Μαρία Φαραντούρη or Andra mou paei by Maria Farantouri
It's such a great vibe!
Wow... Amazing AF. Can you please share where one can get great pant patterns?
Thanks so much, my man! Unfortunately, I don't know lol...I just went on google images and made these off of an existing pair which in turn was made from taking apart an old pair of pants and modifying them...if I find anything, I'll let you know!
Found this trying to figure out how to make linen trousers, thought you were my ex boyfriend - how you look, talk, gesture, move your face, it's so uncanny! So sad you ripped them in the end but just think how incredible the next pair you might make will be after all this learning!
Haha thank you so much! Yeah, hopefully it'll be faster and easier next time, and I don't think I'll make that same mistake twice!
Wow creativity and funny moments in video 😂
Its awesome! I want one!
Thanks! Maybe I'll start selling some ;)
@@DemetriosLevi I would defenitly buy one!
Rayon’s better than nothing. So happy there’s a discount fabric shop near where I live. Time to make my chocolate brown linen trousers, and then the chocolate brown flannel trousers. Then the Hawai’ian print Arrow Collar shirt. Then the mustard flannel waistcoat. Then the ... yeah you get the picture. Or the pattern draft
That's true! And my man, you need to share some pics of those when their done...all these ideas sound incredible!
@@DemetriosLevi I will be sure to do that
Love the videos, man. I am also trying to start my own thing here in India and help people celebrate fashion rather than taking it as an arduous attempt to feed their narcissism.
That's so great to hear, bro! It's great to see people such as yourself help change people's perceptions of fashion from the narcissistic crutch...I wish you the best of luck, my man! Thank you so much for your support! 🙏
I'd love to learn more from watching your videos. If you don't mind checking out whatever pictures I have of myself and suggesting anything that you feel I can add to my style lessons.
Will do my man! I'll check them out 👊

Dam that was ya first pair of pants, they look great.
You've got spunk! If I tried making those, I would be better off selling them to a circus than wearing them! 😂
So, is this the project you mentioned that took you longer than expected?
Hahaha! Yep...this is it. And now I gotta do the front all over again because of that tear 😩
@@DemetriosLevi There's always something... 😢
That's amazing!
Thanks a ton, Nathan!! 👊
This is the Citizen Kane of menswear TH-cam channels.
Woah...I don't deserve a comparison like that. Thank you, thank you, and thank you my man!!
I agree with that statement!
it is funny that greeks abroad are more greek than the greeks in greece.. love the pants, now i want some linen pants
Haha! You know that's funny because I was just reading a post about a Greek abroad who was saying the exact thing. Thank you so much! Definitely try and get a pair if you can...it's a life saver once the heat kicks in
This video is soo good
Thank you, my friend!
This is awesome
Thanks man!
Hello . Can you kindly provide draft/design for gurkha pants? I have searched a lot but cannot find.
Hey man! That's a really good idea, and hopefully I can get one out...I don't know if I have my drawings anymore lol
@@DemetriosLevi Thank you so much. Will be grateful if you publish it. P.S. Love your work and contents.
Sergers aren’t real expensive. I sew all my husbands camp shirts. Haven’t attempted to sew him some trousers. You are quite ambitious! May have been easier just biting the bullet and going and buying the pants! I see you’re having a drink! Dang I wasn’t ready for that fart! You’re hilarious!
how dont you have more subscribers! fantastico
Grazie mille!!
Did you ever get a chance to do a tutorial on how to make them?
Unfortunately no...at least not yet! I wanna make sure I nail it before I tackle something like that
@@DemetriosLevi I understand, they are beautiful and will wait patiently!!
Well... _Demetrios Levi_ already sounds like some kind of high profile fashion designer... You might be on to something!!!
Hahaha! It does actually!
Omg!!! All that effort, blood, sweat, and tears, ripped by a serger.
Yep...😩 I can't tell you the feeling of despair I had. The machine that saved me ended up destroying me. Hey, at least I get more practice!
Could you please share the draftings
Sir tell me about stitching machine i want to know what is the price and company of the machine??
Hey man! The brand is Singer, but I'm not sure of the price, as we got it a long time ago, but there's many of them available at a wide range of prices that can be really cheap!
This guy is charming I like hem better than 10 catfish Daves
My man, I can't tell how honored I am to hear that!
why didn't you wash your linen before beginning?
I actually made my own linens 2 years ago. Love to show you them... could I send them to your Instagram?
Nice my man!! Yeah, send me some pics dude!
Could you post the pattern link in the film?
If I had the pattern still I would! I honestly just searched on google images for "men's trouser pattern" and modified it for the gurkhas.

What song is that at 6min
It's Άντρα μου πάει by Μαρία Φαραντούρη (Andra mou paei by Maria Farantouri) it's a Gricko song aka the Greeks of southern Italy, hence the Italian flair lol
9:46 what song is that???
I missed the part were you made the pants.
Watch the video with your eyes open next time ;)
😂😂😂right leg cuff was higher than left
I was wearing it oddly. Normally that never happens
you got one thing totally wrong:
aside all those imperfections and poor craftsmanship (no offense ^^) the drape is beautiful, dude!
Wow, you think the drape is good? I'm shocked haha thanks my man!
Coupon mom
Ha ha you couldn't afford to buy the trousers but you had a budget of 70 dollars and extras such as buttons. How much was those trousers ha ha.
Finding the style I prefer isn't cheap: everything was double that and these ended up being like 30 bucks or less so I actually lucked out lol
@@DemetriosLevi I think for a guy who had no idea what he was doing, you did an excellent job plus you couldn't buy them in a shop as they are a one off. Well done they looked cool.
Thanks my man! Maybe I'll luck out again who knows? Haha
