Editing this made me realise I talk a lot with my hands 🙈. Anyways, hope you enjoy this new tutorial!! x
Thank you, don’t worry about how you explain the sewing of these trousers, I’m a visual learner ( I think lots of people are) so the actual video shots of putting the trousers together are all important to me and all I need. 🙋🏼♀️🇬🇧
I'm a baby sewer (literally a newborn) but your videos always make me feel like it's 100% achievable!
I don't know if I'm going deaf (possible) but I felt like the sound was quite low though :) could be just me!!
Thanks for your videos xx
So glad I could help make sewing seem more approachable for you!!
No that's definitely not you. With all the background noise going on from when I recorded this, it became pretty hectic when I tried to boost the volume like I normally do. Lesson learned to wait for more ideal voice recording days haha.
These pants are perfect on you! Especially the fabric and the back slit!
Thank you so much!! I feel like the fabric is definitely the hero :)
i love these pants! they're literally so pretty, the fabric looks amazing on you
That's so kind!! Thank you
YESS I've been waiting for this one! Thank u for ur hard work!
Yay! So glad I could finally get it up for you x
You are amazing! Thank you so much for being a continued diy inspiration and consistently delivering quality content that does not seem frightening at all for a beginner sewer like me! 🤩 Absolutely love the monochromatic lilac looks on you 💜
Wow I've always told myself pants were waaaay above my skill level but this tutorial is so approachable!!! Thank you!
Amazing as always! I’ve loved watching your channel grow. Stoked to give these a go and to see what’s to come ✨
I found the PERFECT fabric for these the other day!!! I am SO ready for a new pair of trousers :D thanks for the amazing tutorial as always

Lovely trousers. These look super cute on you. A soft floral would look beautiful too. Thanks for a great informative video!
Funny you say that, I actually have some floral material laying around and if I have enough left of it I'm going to make a second pair from that!
@@TheEssentialsClub perfect!

Sheer genius!
o my gosh these are so cute and i made them but i pout them to gether and messed up so they dont fite on my hips so i will prob make new ones but thanx so much for the video
Such a lovely tutorial! 💕 Unfortunately I'm struggling with a big hips and a small waist so I have trouble with making pants that will fit nicely. Maybe you have some tips for such problems? 😱
Thanks dear...i love the way you teach ....plz teach us how to make pencil top dress...
😍😍😍😍
Hi, I really enjoyed this video! But you didn’t show how you took in the back seam? Can you explain how it’s done please? ☺️
Bonito pantalón 😍
YAY GOOD JOB 🎀🌱..
Could you do a tutorial on a DIY hoodie please :)
You inspired me to start sewing and buy a sew machine! Btw, which machine are you using? Cause I’ve been looking at Janome’s ones but I can’t find that one!
omg in love with these pants! any link for the fabric that you used? i'm obsessed :) congrats on how amazing they look and I always look forward into watching your new videos!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! This is the pattern I chose and then got it printed on the Cotton Lawn - www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/9814564-roller-rink-checkerboard-lilac-by-louisemargaret
wow that zip flap thing that you did!! I think that's so much easier than the traditional way of sewing it. also if you want your pants to be longer.... the amazing thing about a checkered print is you can extend the fabric without it being very noticeable at all! you just have to line up the darks and the whites alternately and sew right on the lines, if you know what I mean. hope this helps!!
Love hearing that! This was honestly my first time doing a front zipper like that and just from looking at my other pants it seemed like a straight forward way to recreate it - so I'm glad it came across that way!
yesss I've totally thought about this! I think I might eventually give that extra fabric idea a go.
YES YES!!! this is amazing :)))))) xoxox
also everything made great sense! you have nothing to worry about
THANK YOU!! So glad to hear it came across well x x
Can't wait to try this one!! What's the dress you're wearing while you're sewing?
The dress is from a tutorial a couple of videos before this one - th-cam.com/video/oQvc20gKLcQ/w-d-xo.html 😊
love it! can you link the fabric?
Thanks! This is the pattern and I got it in Cotton Lawn - www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/9814564-roller-rink-checkerboard-lilac-by-louisemargaret
Just realised I have the same Veja shoes
Hi Maddy, where did you get the fabric from? Ta, cheers, and brilliant job.
I got the fabric from Spoonflower. This is the pattern www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/9814564-roller-rink-checkerboard-lilac-by-louisemargaret
Hi! I would like to make these trousers, what types of fabric are better for this project?
hello
How do you finish your seams? I always worry about them not being neat or coming apart!
I always go back through and trim any excess material from the seams then zig zag stitch the edges to prevent fraying. Sometimes I'll do it before particular steps where I know it'll be too hard to access later 😊
@@TheEssentialsClub thanks!! Think I need to get to grips with zig zag stitching seams a bit better to feel confident!
Is there a way to make without a zipper?
It's definitely possible to make these without a zipper but you'd need to adjust the width of the waist area - meaning it wouldn't have that hugging fit. Once you've extended the width of the waist area so it can be pulled up over your thighs/hips/etc then add an elastic waist section in. Essentially you'd be making longer versions of these - th-cam.com/video/kzYiSdk9ih4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
I didn't quite get how you finished the pockets, there was a little extra fabric over the edge of the main leg Panal, what did u do with that? (I really hope you understand what I mean because I don't know how to explain it) 😅
I ended up chopping that off! It was just a bit wider than what I wanted it to be so just shifted it off the edge. Sorry for the confusion! The measurements I provided in the voiceover reflects the correct process still though ☺️
@@TheEssentialsClub perfect! I've been looking at pants tutorials but the sewing pattern I got confused me so much so I think I should get better at sewing before I tackle trousers 😊 but it's my aim to get it completed by the end of the summer tho
@@shakes1026 That's an awesome challenge to set yourself to get to that level of sewing confidence. Best of luck with it all x
@@TheEssentialsClub omg you're so sweet ☺️ thanks
Hi! these aren't working for me at all :( getting a massive camel toe look even though they are loose fitting. any ideas how to adjust? just can't figure out how or if it can be fixed haha.
I guarantee you everyone wants pockets!
haha right!! I almost took that part out about it being optional.
