This pants pattern is by far my favorite. It is so easy to put together, yet looks so expensive and far better than anything I have seen in the stores. I love them!
I adore this pattern! Went to several of my favorite fabric shops and they were completely sold out of this lovely pattern. I am a 65 year old and plan to make a few adjustments to make it more age appropriate, such as lengthening the top and making the straps just a bit wider. Thank you providing a sew-along. I love your channel. Thank you
That’s my problem too! I want to join her sewing academy to learn to sew, but so many of the styles are not age appropriate for a 64 year old; I don’t have enough sewing experience to alter them to make them appropriate. Quite the dilemma.
Terrific tutorial that shows all the basics steps for women's zippered, pocketed pants with a self-fabric waistband. Well done, Mimi G! Makes me want to grab the pattern, some fabric and get going!
LadyBug, you are Bad to the Bone on that sewing machine. I have joined your sewing academy and have learned s little. I'm still trying.. pray for me..lol..I love your tutorials..You Go gurl.. :-)
I finally got my hands on this pattern!!!! I can't wait to make this outfit.....it looks so good on you💞💞. And you know some of experienced sewists still have trouble with pants.....lol!!! But I've avoided them long enough- this year I'm going to embrace them. Thanks so much for this sew along.
I watch a lot of videos and this one is terrific. The lady has a very good voice. So many sounds like chickens. High squawky and I become furious and leave. Kudos to this presentation.
I couldn't remember your name and thought I wouldn't be able to find your social media, then voila! Found it! Love all of your designs! You have made me want to become skilled at sewing and what better time than now to do so.
Thank you for this tutorial. I love this pattern will you be doing one for the coat? and oh my gosh I could not take my eyes off that absolutely beautiful ring girl ...
You make it look so easy. I've never been successful in getting my zipper and fly to look good and match up. I think I may try these for summer in a linen or bamboo fabric and see if I can get it right.
I use too see items that you make i throught you were a silent person i am so happy too see your videos you make such beautiful clothes also you look so cute pregnant i pray that everything go well for you and your family
I love this pattern and I have successfully made two very nice pairs of pants from it - BUT I can’t wear either of them. I am an advanced sewer- I am an accurate size 10 with proportionate features. I made a size “12” and they fit beautifully.. except juuuust barely the waist….. so I made ANOTHER pair and made them a 14/16 thinking they might be a little big- they were just as tight at the waist - if not tighter and the thighs were the only part of the pants that got bigger :( and I’m so disappointed. It seems like maybe it’s the front pleats for the size 10-16 that makes the sizes untrue? I’m not sure.. I’m thinking of *sadly* ripping the seams of the waist band, and removing 1 if not both of the front pleats, making maybe a *tiiiiiiny* single pleat on both sides for shape, and seeing how that works.. what would you say Mimi G!??! you are the pro! :)
I made this in a size 12 as per the measurements and i am an Australian size 12. It was way too small. More like an Australian 6 . 😢 please do your measurements right guys. I used an old table cloth luckily. I just absolutely love love these pants and cant wait to try the size up.
Depending on the size you need you can enlarge the pattern for the trousers quite easy just look at the seams and measure one of the sizes ie if 22 then you can just follow the lines by adding more I think for larger it's quater inch can't quite remember hence the measurements then you just add more lines to enlarge The pattern you might also have to alter crotch depth depending on the size you need if not sure what I mean look on TH-cam for grading pant sizes for plus sizes hope this helps and I haven't totally confused you lol
Ohhhhhhh see I didn’t know she sizes up for the waist!! That makes total sense. I’m a size 10- I should sew a 12 (it fits nicely) and then fit maybe a generous size 16 waist band, because the labeled size 12 or 14 still doesn’t fit :( LOVE your pattern Mimi!!!!! I’ll figure it out! Lol!!!
So crazy......why is it that my local Joann’s NEVER had the pattern.......kept checking and .......no......they didn’t get it.Is it only sent to certain stores. Anyway.....will enjoy this and hope fully can get it at a later date.🌹
I am considering trying a garment. I am curious if an overcast and cut foot can take the place of a surging machine for the purposes of learning to do this kind of thing. Can anyone explain the additional benefits an actual surging machine offers? Keep in mind if I need an additional $500 machine to make clothing I'll just keep to masks and quilts lol. Also I've merged the Mimi G mask with the Olson mask to make an extremely fashionable and functional face mask with a filter pocket. I'll post the pattern soon.
Mary Rautenberg although the pattern measurements provide a measured size you should always measure your pattern pieces. For instance on a size 14 the front may measure 12” across on each side and 11” for the back. You add those together then subtract for the seam allowance and ease. If that number is larger than your hip but not by much I would sew as is and make your adjustments later. If they are smaller you need to add that much more to your pattern pieces. Let’s say it’s an 1” I would add at least 1/2” more to EACH pattern piece.
Haidee Haidee The fabric looks like a suiting gabardine, crepe or even a twill. Some suiting ravels a lot. The fabric has a nice drape and I’m in love. Can’t wait to get my hands on the pattern!!!
Mz Dee Mz Dee yes it is see the line drawing on the pattern? That gives you an indication of the pieces included. I’m doing a sew along for the dress too 😊
Monica Shahatit Oh no! I didn’t think you were. I’m totally good, I updated the link but wanted to give you an option if you were actively looking before I could update. I appreciate the support so much!!! 🙏🏽😊
This pants pattern is by far my favorite. It is so easy to put together, yet looks so expensive and far better than anything I have seen in the stores. I love them!
Some people are just blessed with loads of talent...you are one of them! I could sit and watch your videos all day.

frynchee Thank you so much!!!
Debra Mejia Hi! My academy isn’t for sew alongs, we teach to self draft and to sew in sequence. Once you learn to sew you can make any style you want.
Terrific tutorial that shows all the basics steps for women's zippered, pocketed pants with a self-fabric waistband. Well done, Mimi G! Makes me want to grab the pattern, some fabric and get going!
My God you can sew so well! Goals to be this good!

I am working on view A the dress/ jacket would you please do a vid on sewing that? I love the pattern and am getting ready to cut it out today
If you haven’t found it already, she also has a sew along for view A. Just do a search on her channel
These are so cute! What are the white ones made out of?
LOVE IT do you ever do plus sizes or do you know of anyone who does sew along for us curvy ladies thank you
Depending on the size you need you can enlarge the pattern for the trousers quite easy just look at the seams and measure one of the sizes ie if 22 then you can just follow the lines by adding more I think for larger it's quater inch can't quite remember hence the measurements then you just add more lines to enlarge The pattern you might also have to alter crotch depth depending on the size you need if not sure what I mean look on TH-cam for grading pant sizes for plus sizes hope this helps and I haven't totally confused you lol
@@louiselill1528 thank you so much that really helps
Could you do the simplicity 8924 see along please am new to sewing and just purchased the pattern and need some guidance thank you x
Do any of your patterns come in size 32, I have some serious hips, I do like your styles.
Thanks
We never see you adjust the pattern for your size
All I do it cut a 12 at the waist and grade out to a 14 or sometimes 16 at the hip.
Ohhhhhhh see I didn’t know she sizes up for the waist!! That makes total sense. I’m a size 10- I should sew a 12 (it fits nicely) and then fit maybe a generous size 16 waist band, because the labeled size 12 or 14 still doesn’t fit :(
LOVE your pattern Mimi!!!!! I’ll figure it out! Lol!!!
I don’t see a button on the white pair - is it a hook and bar closure? Lovely fabric - crepe?
So crazy......why is it that my local Joann’s NEVER had the pattern.......kept checking and .......no......they didn’t get it.Is it only sent to certain stores. Anyway.....will enjoy this and hope fully can get it at a later date.🌹
Z'Nycé London they all ship at different times so some stores get them faster than others.
Do you go through the fitting and alterations of your creations anywhere? That's what I struggle with more than the sewing.
Louise Hess no we don’t cover that in the TH-cam videos but we teach fitting in our sew it academy (sew it academy.com)
I love it

Hola, vivo en Puerto Rico, estoy buscando ese patron y no llega a Puerto Rico. Gracias
Mimi G Style when are you going to cover that goes with top and pants? Can't wait!!😎
Cindy S yes working on it now
I enjoyed this while eating lunch. Quick Q, did you understitch the pockets? I couldn't tell from the video
Cute!
what is the type of interfacing that you use. or should I say the brand and is there a number for it?
Hey! Is this pattern available in digital/PDF? Would love to give this a go! But the paper pattern does not ship to my country :(
What type of sewing machine are you using in the video?
I would love to see you sew this long ruffly topper. I love how you embrace your curves! Brava, g/f!
I wear a size 12 pant, when I measured my hip it measured 42" am I right in ordering a size 14 ?

No space for my buttonhole!?... Finally realised I didnt open up the flap before sewing the waistband 😂 my first zip fly

Mimi, what are the finished waist measurements? I didn't see it on the back.
Yolanda Pinkney-Jordan The finished measurements are on the pattern piece for the pant. Front pants piece
Is that cardigan part of the pattern? Thank you
Mz Dee Mz Dee yes it is see the line drawing on the pattern? That gives you an indication of the pieces included. I’m doing a sew along for the dress too 😊
