Excellent sew along, and your review is spot on! I like the designs of Style Arc patterns and their pants fit me very well. You are correct about the directions, but worth the effort.
I read that Style Arc patterns are really made for people in the sewing industry, for ready to wear. The really small seam allowances and sparse instructions are definitely for advanced sewists. There is no room to let out a seam. On the other hand they fit well and possibly are designed like ready to wear which seems to have more room in the waist and bust. I like Style Arc patterns if I can figure them out! Thank you for this sewalong. I just bought this pattern.
You hit the nail on the head. They are more like RTW - making muslins with their patterns is always a good idea, but I do find they often fit quite well. Perhaps I should do more of their Sew Alongs 😍
I thank you so much for this tutorial ! I have the Style Arc Beth Stretch Pant pattern which is very similar. I’ve sewed for decades and have never seen waistband construction like this, which is quite flattering and reminds me of ready to wear. So great to have you as my teacher! Subscribed!
You are very welcome for this. Also, I think Style Arc drafts patterns RTW so it would make sense that they construct them similarly. Also, they are such a comfy pair of pants!
@@SheerStitchery oh yippee yi yay!! I finished them a bit ago and they fit so well, and your clear instructions made a beautiful waistband . I made this pant with a stretch woven , but thanks to you I am now encouraged to use up all these ponte and scuba knits I got when Hancocks went out of business . And right now I am going to sit down with tea and binge watch your videos!!
Thank you, I've heard that Style Arc patterns have very few instructions. I wonder why the company won't create better instructions. Anyway, after researching the pattern I like the fit and I'm purchasing the pattern. Thank you Debby
Yeah, and if you aren't familiar with sewing patterns then it can be a daunting task (plus I always learn better through video than I do text). Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for this. I just purchased this pattern and was trying to find an explanation for one of the instructions. 🤔 So glad I found you before I started. Also, your input on adding side pockets made me rethink that as well.
You would look great in any color. The one in flesh color looked good on you. I have made about 6 pair of the StyleArc Sage pants and they fit really nice. I am tired of the three extra pieces it has so I own the Barb Pattern and am going to try them next. I like StyleArc patterns but their instructions are a bit confusing. Love Notions has the best instructions in my experience.
I used a stretch needle and polyester thread. I typically use only polyester thread (unless I specify otherwise). And if you have an overlocker (serger) be sure to change the needle to a stretch needle on that as well. Can't wait to see how they turn out on you!
The blush pink is very on trend, I like them. Thanks for the heads-ups on the poor pattern assembly instructions! Typical of Style Arc. They look super comfortable!
Though this pattern does not have the greatest instructions, it is super simple to make and can be whipped up in no time!
I love this sewalong. Thank you! You are a natural teacher.
Oh, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it! ❤
If any pattern company needed folks to do tutorials, it is style arc. Thank you for this.
I wholly agree with that sentiment. Thanks and good luck with your project!

So worth the effort!

Oh, so glad it brought back some happy memories for you! ❤

Hi Katherine, I've finally found you on You Tube! Love the sewalong and have subscribed to your channel😊

@@Nurse3811 oh that is so wonderful! These would be so comfy in a ponte. The Hudson Joggers are also fab in a ponte for a super casual pant.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I just bought this pattern and panic with the instructions or lack of! LOL
I hear you! I'm so glad this tutorial can help you ❤

Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot! 😁
I am so glad it did! These instructions are a little sparse 😉
Wow that was osm colour of pant and u did great job it’s very hard thing to do designing I appreciate ur work 😊😊👌I like the shape of pant 👌
Thanks so much!

Thanks! Ooh, I'll have to check out the Barb pattern...
This video is very helpful, thank you! I was wondering which type and size of needle, and thread you used to sew these ponte fabric pants. TIA!
I used a stretch needle and polyester thread. I typically use only polyester thread (unless I specify otherwise). And if you have an overlocker (serger) be sure to change the needle to a stretch needle on that as well. Can't wait to see how they turn out on you!

Thanks. Thanks think I end up grabbing these every time they come out of the wash since they are so comfortable.
My side seams do not line up.
Hmmm, I’m not sure, but mine lined up.
@@SheerStitchery obviously. Maybe i sewed the panel wrong or over pressed and stretched it out.
The pattern library from Style Arc is amazing but the instructions really let you down.
Completely agree, so I hope this tutorial helps those who want to make them... such well drafted patterns 🥰
