  • It’s time to improve the fit of the crotch curve on the FRONT and the BACK of our pants! This is Episode 5 of “Let’s sew easy pants” mini-series.
    These little curve shapes on the front & back of your chosen pant pattern may not match your body and the fit can be made so much better. I am showing how these common fit issues look on my body and the techniques used to correct them. Another practical video in the Let’s Sew Easy Pants Mini-series!
    Catch up on the “Let’s sew easy pants” mini-series: • Let's sew easy pants! ...

    Fabulous job Karina! I can really tell you put all of your effort into this series. I'm a visual learner, so this is extremely helpful. I carry a lot of my weight in my hips & thighs, even my calves are larger than most. This series will be invaluable for me. The fit you have in all of your garments are fantastic. Because you tackle fit in your VLOGs is what made me subscribe to your channel in the first place. Most people don't take the time to share the knowledge of how to get good fit. Most patterns don't even tackle the subject of fit. For those of us who didn't go to school to learn the trade of being a seamstress, this is much needed content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have inspired me to try my hand at sewing some new pants.

    I cannot understand why anyone would give this series a thumbs down. It's the best visual of making adjustments I've seen and knowing "the why" is so important. You have a wonderful approach and the fit of all the garments you have made are spot-on. Do you have plans to share information on a sway back adjustment? I'm finding a need to remove some extra fabric on my tops and would appreciate your view on tackling this area.
