- Using the Lutterloh system that was gifted to me by my Mother I attempt in this video to make up a pair of jeggings/trousers from Supplement 325 - View 4. Come along with me on my journey to create a pair of wearable trousers which wasn't easy!
The Lutterloh system is also known as the Golden Rule. Please check out my other videos that I have made on this subject for more details on how do create the patterns.
Thanks for watching
Carole

May I say I am so glad that you are doing these Lutterloh videos and my Lutterloh searches is how I found your channel. I recently bought the Lutterloh system and I even have the exact same Supplement that you are using. I've been watching your progress and hopefully that will help me get the courage to finally sew my first Lutterloh project. Also, thanks for the great idea about the stick on dots for the right side of fabric. Such a simple thing yet I've never thought of it. Love your videos!
Hello Mary, thank you so much for finding me and for watching. I wish you luck with the system and that is a great supplement. I think I made something else from that as well. If you are on Facebook there is a wonderful Lutterloh page full of Sewists using the system and lots of hints and tips, I would certainly suggest finding that. I would be lost without my sticky dots believe me 🤣. Good luck and keep me updated on your progress 😊🧵
I just watched this again this morning as I was looking for your latest video. You are so great at figuring out this system! I would never be able to master making my own pattern with just measurements. Amazing job Carole!
Thanks Theresa! I have just finished editing the next Lutterloh video which I will put out when I am away next week, probably on Weds. I am very excited for this one as it came out really well, probably my best so far.
Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Its easy with the golden rule, you get a tape measure and only use 2 measurements
Great job Carole!
I've been enjoying each Lutterloh journey you've taken us through.
For these pant, other than the process of creating your own pattern, once you sew the pieces together, the fitting process is the same as any regular pattern.
Stick with it! Looking forward to seeing what other garment you can create with the Lutterloh☺
Thank you. You are exactly right about the fitting but I suppose I expect not to have to do that as they claim that just using though two measurements magically they will fit perfectly. It wouldn't bother me with a pattern I bought 🤣. I will definitely stick with it as it is so fun to plot out. Thanks again 🧵😊
You have such patience, Carole! You worked those slacks until they fit to your liking. Yeh, I would've been tempted to just pitch it as well. Or, at least, put it aside until a later time when I felt like tackling the project. Great job, Carole!
I was on the edge of my patience Deb with this one but this channel has certainly helped me persevere on projects! It was only a matter of taking all the seams in and not much unpicking thank goodness.
Thanks for your support as always 😘❤️
Your trousers ended up looking great Carole. I agree with you about bengaline, it's like wearing a stretchy plastic garbage bag. I enjoy watching your Lutterloh makes, it's a fascinating system. Well done.❤
Oh that made me laugh out loud 😂. That is exactly how I feel and can't believe my daughters school trousers were made of this! Thanks so much for watching and your comment 😊🧵
It’s fun to go through the fitting process with you. Really nice pants. 😊-Deborah
Thanks Deborah, they were very much in danger at one point to be heading for the bin 🤣. It's only because I have this channel I persevered and got some nice trousers at the end of it! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
That was super fun to watch! Loved to see how persistent you were. I think they look lovely on you! 💞
Thanks Izzy, they turned out so similar to the Parkers!! I preferred the Ponte though. I never like to give up but I was on the edge this time 🤣. Hope your week is going well 😘❤️
@@socarole66 They do look like the Parkers!
I still want to try this Pattern system -you are encouraging !
Thanks Linda, I still need more experience of it but lots of people have success with it and it is fun to plot it all out, makes me feel like a proper dressmaker 🤣. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
These Lutterloh videos have been enlightening. I can't wait to use mine for the first time now that I have seen your videos. Thank you so very much and hopefully you will be posting more Lutterloh sewing.
Oh I hope you do enjoy making some garments using the system. Stick to simple things to begin with and the Lutterloh Facebook group is so helpful if you run into trouble. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I sew with luterlol and when you are sewing with stretchy fabric you need to estimate how much % it’s stretch, and you always need to go down 1 or 2 dimensions you took from your hips or bust
And you’ll see it’s a perfect fit
Also the waist band you did for the inside need to be a little bit smaller than the trousers, so that way it sticks on you, and if you have a small belly it help
😊
Thank you so much for your great suggestions! I have to say this fabric was way too stretchy though for the pattern. A normal stretch denim would not have caused anywhere near the same problems. It was a ridiculous amount of stretch if I remember! I did not know that about sizing down so that is really helpful. Thanks again 😊🧵
I don’t have this system but it fascinates me. Please continue with a project now and again. I wonder why there aren’t more sewing details. Did the creators assume an above average experienced sewer would using the system? As usual, your finished project fits you perfectly. Just adorable.
Thanks Susan. The whole thing fascinates me when I use it too and it is good to have a go at every now and again. It was designed in the 1930s when practically every lady knew how to sew therefore no instructions needed! There is a very basic manual which tells you how to do certain things but not pattern specific. It certainly gets the brain cogs working 😅. I don't understand why they don't adapt the system now for the modern and new sewist, just one design perhaps with instructions a bit like the Burda magazines. Perhaps I should write to Mr Lutterloh😆. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I’d never heard of that system, what an interesting video, really enjoyed it and the trousers look lovely 😊
Thank you very much. I would never stop using the printed patterns but it is fun every now and again to create my own. 😊🧵
I am not interested in the Lutteroh System but it was fun and interesting watching you make the pants work. Another great make.
As you say, Lutterloh is really not for everyone and I certainly wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been 'in the family'. It is fun to do though and always good to keep the brain cogs working 😊. Thanks for your interest 😊🧵
To me the pants really look great, even for wearing out of the house. Your fitting skills really make it all work, and I love the thinking tips as you go along.
Thank you so much for your comment and watching. I'm sure I will get far more wear out of them than I think I will! 🧵😊
Way to hang in there, Carole! They look fab! 😘💗
Thanks Andra, it did test my patience but mainly due to the fabric I think. 😘❤️
Interesting journey to get the fit and make a wearable pair of trousers. I purchased the Lutterloh system back in the 70’s and don’t believe I’ve ever used it. 🙄. I remember it came with a special tape measure- not sure if mine is still around. Perhaps I’ll resurrect it and take a look. Congrats on sticking with it and making it work!
Hi Mary, you probably have the same kit I do! That measuring tape is the most important part so I hope you do have it. The only trouble with mine is that it had been folded for 50 years so needs a good stretching out before I use it 🤣. Let me know if you give it a try and thanks for watching 🧵😊
Great job.
Thanks for watching and your comment 😊🧵
The trousers look wonderful - great sew
Thank you very much, they are very wearable I think. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Love when you do this Lutterloh thing! It's so amazing!!
Oh thank you Diane! I do like doing it every now and again, it keeps the brain cogs working. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Funny, I used bengaline for the first time last week to make some cargos- they were huge and stretchy - I had to completely undo them and recut them completely!
That is so interesting! I really do think the first draft failed because they were just too stretchy. I won't be using it again but I will wear the trousers. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Carole, I, too, have the Lutterloh system and find that it is a bit better than the Big Four patterns for my body fittings. So enjoyed your make using the system. When I had purchased the system, I had gone to a Lutterloh workshop which really helps me in understanding the pattern itself. I hope to see more of your makes using this system! ❤
Hi Kathleen. Thank you so much for your comment and I'm always thrilled to hear from other people that use the Lutterloh system. I'm interested to hear you get more success from it sizing wise. I do think attending a workshop if you can would be very beneficial. I've only seen the original TH-cam video and one by Lara at Sew very easy I think. I'm getting better though and understanding more with every one I do. Thanks again for your comment 😊🧵
It's interesting to watch you work with your Lutterloh system. I think my mother also had that system in the 1970s. After I watch you work with yours it makes me wish I'd kept it when I closed down her home. Sadly, she didn't have the success you've had and I all I can remember is the struggle and frustration she had to get patterns made and I just couldn't see myself having the patience. I did get several pairs of knickers and a slip or two that she made from the system that I probably wore for 20 years, so all wasn't lost! Congratulations on your trousers. I also had my doubts that the seat of those were ever going to fit! lol
Thanks Diane. Sadly I don't remember my Mum using the system but she does remember making a little coat for me from it, the pattern isn't in the book though so she must not have replaced it back which is a shame. She did make other things then put it away feeling guilty for 50 years! I'm so glad I am using it for her sake 🥰. How wonderful you did get some pieces from it that you remember. For me it's an every now and again type of project, fun to do and keep my brain cogs working 🤣. Like you said, the bottom part looked enormous but sadly that wasn't the part that didn't fit!! Thanks so much for your comment 😊🧵
Good job, Carole! Persistence pays off! The trousers look great on you. It sure looks like you got a perfect fit out of that system. I see it advertised as 10 or 20% off, but it’s still too pricey for me. I would love to try it, though. Thanks for taking us along on your journey, I don’t think you would have tried those pants a year ago, would you? You’ve really come a long way in your sewing. Beautifully made, Carole.😊
Thank you Sue. It isn't a system I would recommend to anyone as I don't really believe you get a perfect fit just from the two measurements but it is an interesting concept. It was a lot of money when my Mum bought it and can't believe it still is! Systems do come up on EBay and I know Jen picked one up very cheaply on Etsy I think. You are right if I did attempt a year ago, I certainly wouldn't have publicised it 🤣. I really appreciate your compliments thank you 🥰. Have a great week 🧵😊
First let me say that I think you have the body that all the patterns are drafted for - possibly save your height. I think they fit amazing! You're so brave to try this without instructions, which speaks to your level of expertise. I like them a lot. Well done you! xoxoxoxox
Now that Jen is one kind comment!!! I do have to do tweaking believe me with patterns but nothing major like some people and I'm glad because I have absolutely no idea how to do them 🤣. I only choose easy patterns which I can work out how to make up, one day I'll choose something harder 😅. I'm still waiting for you to give it a go 😉, you never know it could the answer you've been looking for! Thanks for being kind as always 🥰😘❤️🧵xx
A great make. I’m sure they’ll be really comfortable for wearing round the house and snuggling up on the sofa. They look smarter than leggings too. I think you could easily dress these up with a smart top and some boots. I love watching your Lutterloh makes. I’m still pondering the system myself, especially as I often need to make adjustments to commercial patterns to fit my shape. I just need more experience in dressmaking construction first.
Thanks Ann. You are right they are exactly suited to wearing about the house, just smarter than leggings. They would look nice with the right boots I suppose, I hadn't thought of that. The trouble with Lutterloh is that you need to be a self sufficient sewist and that's why I chose the easy stuff 🤣. Many normal pattern instructions could be relevant though if in trouble! Thanks so much for watching and your comment 🧵😊
@@socarole66Hi Carole. I’ve just watched this again as I was unsure how the system works with jersey fabric and negative ease (as you may recall I’ve just purchased the system and am awaiting delivery. I note also from my previous comment that I was considering this system. I’ve been thinking about it for a while it seems 😂). I’m sure it will mention this in the instructions 🤔. I wasn’t sure if you used a smaller seam allowance or maybe no seam allowance if it’s very stretchy.
@@annscott4031 please let me know if it does say in the instructions. My set is from the 1970's and says barely anything 🤣. I use a 1.5cm seam allowance, no seam allowance is allowed in the patterns you just choose your own. That is the thing with Lutterloh, you really are on your own with the designs but the Facebook group is amazing for asking questions, there are some very experienced people on there. Good luck. 🧵
I remember when I was little in the 70s, mum used to have that system. I was always looking through it and wondering what that weird tape measure was for lol
That's amazing! That weird tape measure is just magical and how it works I'll never know 🤣. Sadly I think I was too young to remember my Mum using it but I know she was guilty for many years for putting it away. 😊🧵
Thank you Carole! I've been wanting you to attempt leggings. I think they look very nice, please try a four way stretch or scuba? Love it, and thanks again! Betty in Texas
Hi Betty, thanks for watching and your comment. I think the pattern was too big because of the super stretchy fabric so I may try a stretch denim although I recently made a pair of Style Arc Parker Pants in a great ponte that would work. 🧵😊
What fun! I enjoyed watching the process.
Thank you Lavada, I'm glad you liked the video 🧵😊
Hi Carole, I've always been curious about the system but too afraid to try it! You've mastered it and your leggings fit great. You struggled but did a GREAT job! 👏👏💕💕💕
Thanks Grace. I'm not a firm believer in the system that you get a perfect result from two measurements but it is interesting to do every now and again! Thanks for you kind comment 😘❤️👖
Very interesting to see your experience with making up a pants pattern with NO instructions, NO guidance with required fabric stretch and (I assume) NO pattern piece layout instructions for the fabric. Makes one ask why anyone would buy the Lutterloh system. Just seems like it lacks too much instruction even for an average level garment sewist. Can't imagine trying to make a more complicated garment using that system. Very easy to understand why YT sewist videos for this pattern system are few and far between. After all your adjusting and such, the pants turned out great and fit you well! Was nice to see how your adjustments to the fit kept improving the overall fit. Well done! Great video, Carole.
Ha ha you hit the nail on the head with your description of Lutterloh. You get NOTHING!! You should see some of the designs, they are so complicated but on the Lutterloh Facebook site some people make some amazing things. I just chose the simple things!! I do enjoy having a go with it though, just every now and again. I have two many paper patterns sitting waiting to be used. Thanks for watching as always and hope all is well with you 🧵😊x
I loved watching youre video and process! Im thinking that lutterloh meant for stretch denim fabric! 😮
Thank you so much for watching. The trouble with Lutterloh is that they don't give you any idea of the percentage of stretch or fabric suggestions. The fabric I used was just way too stretchy and yes, a normal stretch denim would have been so much better. Nevertheless, I was pleased with the end result and wore them a lot over Winter! 🧵😊
You have much more patience than me. I would have given up and gone to Walmart to buy a pair of jeggings. But I suppose the challenge was the fun of it for you. They ended up very nice.
Ha ha that did make me laugh! If it had taken hours and hours I would agree with you, far easier just to pop to a shop and pick some up 🤣. That's the trouble with having a channel, it makes you keep going against all odds....... and that is what I love about it 🥰. Thanks so much for watching and hope your week is going well 🧵😊
Hi Carole, I like the pants and the Jumping to make sure they stay on!😅😅😅
Ha ha Zelda I had no idea why I did that 🤣. It was too funny to cut out though but what would I have done if they fell down 😱😂😂 xx
You persevered and they ended up cute! I am with you on the fabric. I am not a fan of plastic fabric.
Yes, I am not a fan of whatever this fabric is but much too man made for my liking! Happy to wear them around the house though. Thanks for your comment ❤️😊
Great tip putting the little stickers on the right sides! With your alterations the pants look great on you. Would you make them again now that you have made the adjustments
I would be lost without my stickers believe me but the downside is they seem to get everywhere 🤣. I will give that pattern another go if I find a nice stretch denim. I really wonder if that fabric had too much stretch in it and a fabric with less in would be a fit straight off, so a short answer...Yes!! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Well done Carole!
Thanks so much! 🧵😊👖
They look good Carole. Shame you are not keen on the fabric....washing might help. 😊
Sadly Annette I did wash the fabric first but yes, as you say further washing may help. They will be worn though as perfect for around the house. Thanks for your comment 😊🧵
I like the pattern but I would only put a small facing in at the waist as I wonder if it would be too bulky and warm. You did a great job though
Funnily enough the facing didn't add too much bulk and I can see if you used power mesh it would pull you in a little if that's what you wanted. It was fun to have a go at these. Thanks again for watching 🧵😊
One of these days I’m going to get my system out and give it a try.
Why not! Even just plotting the points to get a pattern piece is rewarding and fun. I never fail to marvel how those little patterns make a proper pattern piece. Good luck if you try 🧵😊
Well done Carole they look great. Really enjoyed watching this video. Can I just ask did the front and back side seam match as they looked different lengths or was it just the crotch seams that was a different size.
Thanks Sandra. All the seams did match up surprisingly, I think I was just in denial about the size of the back 'area' 🤣. As you say, I thought it wouldn't align but it did. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
So will you adjust the pattern pieces to make in the future? Or will you just stick to your other tried and true patterns for now? I enjoyed watching the fitting process.
I think it was the extremely stretchy fabric to be honest so I'm going to try with a normal stretch denim. Then if that doesn't work it's back to the tried and true! I did like the no waistband though and the shape. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
I’m making Nancy Zieman McCall’s 7331 and the leg pieces are the same shape
That's really interesting. The pieces worked out though I will admit they just looked shocking held up. Just checked out your pattern and wow that's a good one, all those pieces! I love the Cardi so may have to track it down. Thanks so much 😊🧵
Hey Carole, the stretch does have something to do with it ..... i have posted this link to download a stretch guide that you can print out and laminate .....with commercial patterns if you have a lot of stretch you normally would go down a size or 2 .....but its hard with TGR as it goes of measurements :( i've had mine for about 10years and i've never used it lol i just bought one of the mens supplements though so i'm going to give it a go. Did you use the instructions when sewing it together?
Hello and thanks so much for your comments. I think with this garment I should have used better fabric and not the Bengaline. I don't know what I was thinking of using a fabric with such stretch properties, next time I would use a stretch denim! As with every project I learn so much so my time wasn't wasted. You asked if I used the instructions when sewing it together, there are none I just constructed it using my previous sewing knowledge and that worked out well it was just the horrid fabric.
I will try and search out the stretch guide you have, I find the Lutterloh Facebook group so good for information like that. On a side note, I have just made my Husband a t shirt and he says it's the best fitting one he has ever had! Thanks for taking the time to watch. 🧵😊
@@socarole66 hey Carole, thank you very much for replying. The sewing instructions i thought was in the folder, it has a page with keys thats starts with the letter A .... it says to follow the key thats on the pattern ... like A to A & B to B & so on!!!! I've just got a new supplement i'm going to try and make something because i ain't ever used it hehe lol
The fabric has a lot of strech. You should go down one size in the waist and hip
Thanks for your comment. I hadn't thought about reducing the measurement to use in the tape, that is a really good idea for next time thank you. If I was doing a paper pattern I would have automatically sized down so why didn't I think of that?! 🧵😊
Wenn der Schnitt eine Leggins ist, warum sitzt sie dann zu Eng ??? Eine Leggins muss Eng sitzen. Oder sollte es eine Normale Hose werden ??? Das war mit dem Uebersetzer bei TH-cam nicht so ersichtlich. Auf jedenfall eine Wunderschoene Arbeit. Ich naehe schon seit circa 7 Jahren nach Lutterloh und alle Kleidungsstuecke passen Perfekt.
Thank you for your comment. I wanted to make tight trousers like leggings but they ended up being too big. I think the TH-cam translation may have been wrong or the way I talked about them in the video made you think I didn't want them to be tight.
The problem was the fabric and not the pattern and I would like to try this with some stretch denim.
I am so pleased to hear you like Lutterloh and have had success with your patterns ❤. Thank you so much for watching 😊🧵
