Euh.... Wowwww 💜 I was terrified at the idea of making a tummy adjustment on my pattern, but you made it SO clear and SO simple. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 💜
I've always had a little low tummy. I just open the front darts and add a little width to the sides. It's not perfect but that all I can do not to manipulate the pattern. I'll definitely try this method and I think it may be best.
Hi Alexandra! Excellent video. How would I make this adjustment on pants with a yoke? Can you please do a tutorial for doing this adjustment on pants with a yoke. Thanks!
Really easy to understand. Thanks! One question: it seems like the tummy adjustment matches the fit issues for a person who is standing in an anatomical swayback position (hips forward past toes, hyperextended legs, round upper back, dramatic extension at the rib-lumbar spine area rather than truly a low back natural curve). Have you experienced this or worked on garments for people like this? Typical dancer fit issue and I can’t get panties, tights, leggings to fit properly, no matter the size.
Oh my goodness, where were you when I needed you. I just found you by chance and I’m over the moon excited. Thank you so much, your an amazing teacher, and you make it look so easy. Bless you. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I have a problem with excess fabric on my back leg below the crotchline, can't get rid of it. It looks smoother toward the side seam...and looks like long comma lines, what should I try to do? Is it a flat backside problem?
If you choose pattern based on waist size (mine is sometimes off the pattern sizes on the pattern back), won't the hips be huge? Most patterns I found from the big 4 manufacturers go to 41 1/2 (size 26) but then the hips are 50+ inches, which is WAY larger than my hips.
Pleats are a styling feature which is determined by the fit of the pant without the pleat. If the pant is not fitted correctly to the body without the pleat, the pleat with not be beneficial.
This is useful, but I just want to note something. If the new centerline is extended beyond the hip line, you are actually *adding* extra fabric to the crotch area, not subtracting it. It’s one of those counter intuitive things one encounters in crotch curves. To minimize crotch poofiness, rather, do not extend the new centerline down to crotch level.
I think it depends on the tummy shape and the existing crotch extension. Adding fabric at the cf will allow more fabric over the tummy area and shift the grain line toward the side of the body which can then remove excess found in the front crotch. As with all fit adjustments, the success of any method used depends on the shape you are fitting and the starting point of the pattern fit. No single solution will work for all body shapes.
Thanks so much! I can't seem to see your comment on the video anymore, but you can find the free scaled block patterns here: www.inhousepatternsstudio.com/scaled-pant-block The other pant videos use the Ellen sewing pattern here: inhousepatterns.com/collections/in-house-patterns/products/ellen Let me know if I missed a question.
No you replied just right! I omitted the comment next to the Thanks so it must have seemed a bit confusing. I love the detail you gave to fit over the tummy 🙏🏻 and I’m going to try and make a block myself and use all your helpful pointers to achieve a perfect fit! Maybe will use your scaled down blocks at some point …
I'm so frustrated, what if you have a full tummy, a large low bum, and full thighs. It seems like no matter where I buy pants, unless its a palazzo, I have a wedgie in the back. Even clothes I've had made for me give me a wedgie and they always end up putting a gusset in the crotch. Do you do online personal classes?
I have one problem and I can not find whats wrong.. no matter what I do I get a camel toe so called on the front crotch. my crotch length is ok, my back crotch is perfect, but front.. no matter what I do when I sit it seams to pull in and its really uncomfortable. it this the issue of a tilted pelvis?

Thank you for your kindness in taking the time to make these videos for us and for your professionalism
I wish I had seen your videos years ago. Oh the heartache I could have saved myself!
Thank you! I feel much more hopeful about making pants now.

This video series is just excellent. You are such a clear and thorough teacher, Alexandra. Thank you.
Thank you Alexandra, Stellar Instructions - Thank you!!!
Another excellent video. This was easy to follow and made so much sense. Thanks!
I just found you on TH-cam and I’m so happy. This series is very helpful!
Loving this series, I am struggling with pants fitting. I definitely need this adjustment, thank you! Excellent, clear directions. ❤️
Thank you! Can’t wait to get my pattern fit properly and make my first pair of perfect pants.
Thank you for a clear and easy to understand tutorial. I am still working on perfecting my bodice block and hope to try pants fitting soon.
Thanks so much for this! My pants are sitting weird post baby and i think this will really help me
Thank you for such informative videos. I have watched several and your directions are wonderful. Looking forward to watching more.
Oh! Such an excellent video! Thank you! I was just thinking it's another FBA - belly instead of just 😁
Thank you. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

The center front line ends up curved. How does this work if you want to make a fly front. Must it not be straight then?
Another fabulous video to share! Thank you Alexandra :)
thank you for sharing
EXCELLENT info again! Thank you!
Hi Alexandra! Excellent video. How would I make this adjustment on pants with a yoke? Can you please do a tutorial for doing this adjustment on pants with a yoke. Thanks!
I’ve just sent a thanks. Do you still provide patterns for the pants which you used in this demonstration by any chance?

Will this adjustment work for pants,& leggings made of knit fabric?
You make it look very easy - thank you! 💜💛💚💙💜💛💚💙
Thank you, a great solution, I guess it would work for a straightish skirt to adjust for tummy?
Yes, absolutely
Very good video.
Thank you very much!
I have a problem with excess fabric on my back leg below the crotchline, can't get rid of it. It looks smoother toward the side seam...and looks like long comma lines, what should I try to do? Is it a flat backside problem?
Love the video, keep me posted about clases about it. Thanks

Great video Alex. I assume this adjustment can be done on a skirt, so where would you draw the slash lines?
It will be the same on a skirt :)
Will this adjustment work for a man with a big gut?
Wow! This was an incredible and clear explanation!
What about pleats ? Arent tgey good for this problem
Pleats are a styling feature which is determined by the fit of the pant without the pleat. If the pant is not fitted correctly to the body without the pleat, the pleat with not be beneficial.
Hello i have a question
Howmuch is the max of front crotch and back crotch width??? Please

6:50 for the flat pattern alterations
What do you do if you have a very big tummy with a sizable apron that hangs over your crotch line?! Help please!!!!!!!
I needed about 18 cm extra, but it looks strange, plus the dart is going to be very large.
I actually have no clue how to add a dart in. But thanks for the explaination
Ugh I need to takein the tummy area.
I have one problem and I can not find whats wrong.. no matter what I do I get a camel toe so called on the front crotch. my crotch length is ok, my back crotch is perfect, but front.. no matter what I do when I sit it seams to pull in and its really uncomfortable. it this the issue of a tilted pelvis?
