    Charlie. What is absolutely fabulous about your channel is that you don't get things perfect but you show how you worked, (or not) through it and then your discussion about how you think you could or how you did fix it. Because let's be honest, home sewing is always throwing curve balls and working them out with others or on your own is grand. It would be awful for me if everything was spot on and perfect on your channel, I probably wouldn't watch as much. Love you and your channel. ❤🎉

    Suggestion for making flowy fabrics easier to handle: starch them. When you want them to be flowy again just wash them.

      How does starching work? Never seen that in my life before

    • @chaostiverdant6196
      @chaostiverdant6196 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can either buy a commercial starch spray, or dissolve corn starch in cold water. Soak your fabric, then iron. Depending on your water to starch ratio, and whether you spray or soak, your fabric will turn out more, or less, stiff. No flowy = no problem sewing. @@GayCorvidae69

      @karenbaily 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      There are some videos you can find if you look for tips on sewing rayon. You can buy or make a liquid starch you soak the fabric in then let dry and iron. There are also some spray starches you iron on.

      @daxxydog5777 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Amen, I’m talking to you, georgette! Figured that one out pretty quickly. Also, spray starching keeps knits from rolling at the edges if you have one of those little %$f# that want to roll up an inch at edges when you accidentally pull on it. So annoying! I get my spray starch at any grocery or big box store in the US.

    When I was making a split side skirt for my daughter, she wanted a more fitted version that had double front slits. I learned to use the hip measurement (plus seam allowance) as the base measurement and then added darts to bring that in to make the waist measurement. That was a nightmare of math over a very short turn-around, but seeing her wear it really made up for it. Without your original split-sided skirt video, I wouldn't have had any idea where to begin. So, thank you for continuing to put your learning process up where others can see and learn and expound upon.
    You're the best. I appreciate your struggle and that you make it available and accessible.

    Hi! I just wanted to let you know, I'm a fashion student, and your split side skirt videos have inspired me on my final exam project, and the fact that you now made trousers too is fantastic! I'm going to make a jumpsuit, so... Wish me luck 😅

    Hi there! A tip that may work for the gray pants junction in the back is something that I did for a skirt. I sew a strip of wide elastic (like an inch wide) and added a button to it. Then I created different button holes on the waist band so it was stretchy but still adjustable! It works really well and it keeps being elastic while also adjustable (and pretty easy to put on, too). Wonderful video as always!!

    • @jomercer21113
      @jomercer21113 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I use the elastic with the spaced buttonholes in it for this purpose.

    What a GREAT idea to use the wrapping paper for patterns! Good quality wrapping paper even has a helpful grid on the back. And it comes is really long rolls and is inexpensive, especially at the end of December every year. 😂

  • @mizboom
    @mizboom 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    I think the problem you’re running into is ease. You have none in your pattern. That works with stretchy knit fabrics like you usually use, but not with woven. But otherwise great construction ideas!

  • @ShakespeareDoomsday
    @ShakespeareDoomsday 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +41

    The pirate pants are the cutest! This has me thinking about making a faux lace-up for ease of getting the pants on and off. Perhaps a small separating zipper or some skirt hooks or giant snaps (whopper poppers) can allow for both adjustable lacing and ease of accessibility. That would definitely mean that sewing is a little bit more complicated, but I think that would make wearing so much easier.

  • @ridiculouscuteness3
    @ridiculouscuteness3 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    I was having a crappy day and this definitely helped. This video combines my two current favourite sewing things: secret pants, and adjustable clothing.

    • @ridiculouscuteness3
      @ridiculouscuteness3 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      also side note, sweaters being a textural issue is partly why I either wear a zip up hoodie, or even more preferably, a bathrobe as a house coat. No weird textures too close to my skin. Easy to wear open if too warm, not strangling me like pull-over hoodies. I can envision you making a fanciful house coat with pockets on the inside *and* outside. I want to make a wizard's cloak inspired house coat, but there's so many other (practical, boring) things higher on my to-make list.

    I would like to see you try the fitted pants again sometime. Now that you know that it’s the hip measurement and placement that was the problem they did look good after you added all that extra so I would suggest try taking a pattern off those pants and add more at the hip like you did on the shorter pants. I think they’ll look great, when you’re ready. I love watching you discover new ways of doing things.

    • @meatshieldmaiden707
      @meatshieldmaiden707 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd love to see this too! I really adored the look of the grey one and might want to attempt a pair myself. I just need to wrap my head around what the steps where in the video. xD

    30:19 wow those came out really great! I am laughing a little bit about your 8 yard of fabric on your Palazzo style pants but that is an amazing amount of floof!
    Your gray pants actually turned out really well for all the trouble they caused you! They make your backside look great and I love the lacing exposed on the front!

  • @esther5636
    @esther5636 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

    I was thinking with the pockets vs tying the back last. How about having slits in the front waist, having smaller ties for the back piece and threading those through the ties in de front waist. This way you can have the pocket placement underneath the front panel while still being able to untie the back for going to the bathroom? With long enough ties you’ll never have to fully take the ties out of the slits. Style wise this could look a bit like the hanbok skirt pattern by sewing therapy?
    I hope that description makes sense! Either way thank you for the video and collaborative aspects, I feel very inspired!

  • @dawsie
    @dawsie 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Loved the idea of the wire. To make it stable tape it to some cardboard and trim up to the wire this will also give you a space to write down the notes to remind you of the waistband hight to be taken from the leg panels. Plus the centre seam can be noted in place as well as any extra info required for the split side aspects. You can also make the note of where the widest part starts for the hips on the card board. Once done you now have fixed pattern helper for not only pants but also if you’re looking at making A-line skirts.
    Now I’m off to watch Ash’s version because I feel that between the both of you, the rest of us can take all the best points to be combined into the perfect pattern.
    Thanks Charlie ❤

    Thrilled with this video as I have been trying to solve the problem of:
    - adjustable clothing sympathetic to size changes in my body
    - sturdy enough to function all day at festivals/have pockets etc without being too hot for a southern US outdoor event
    - maneuverable enough to use the bathroom at festivals While Wearing coats/shirts/belts/swords etc overtop and not have to strip more than necessary while in tight spaces and hold up lines etc.
    And watching y'all do this has put me on the right track I think.
    Thanks so much!!

    Yay so excited for these. One suggestion for the wire crotch thing. If it’s something you want to keep long term trace it onto a piece of cardboard. I’m so happy you made these. I want to do a version that look like baggy breaches. Now I just have to find the time. And fix the sewing machine. Thanks again

  • @cherylrosbak4092
    @cherylrosbak4092 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The way I learned how to measure and shape a crotch seam is very much like the wire, but with a flexible ruler. You wrap an elastic around the middle of the ruler and place that where you want the seams to meet. Then conform it to the rest of your lumps and bumps.
    The brown ones are cute, but I really like the grey ones.

  • @DillyWillow
    @DillyWillow 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Charlie, make sure you use a jersey/knit needle when sewing the stretch knit fabrics, that helps with the pucker…
    Also… when you’re making patterns instead of using up your fashion fabric… use old sheets 😊

    Well that was fun! I was pleasantly surprised to see you on Ash's channel. I started there then came over here to see what you did. I'm really hoping that you two will be able to show others designs. This is my only social media and trying to get my kids to follow you would be hard!
    The only other thing is that toward a pant in the 90's that sort of were adjustable. They had a triangle of fabric on the sides of the pants that had Velcro that attached to the centre front. No idea what they were called and there were no pockets
    I really like all of the variety in how you both went about this. They all look great!

    These are all so great, even if the first two have issues. They still look amazing! And the third pair!! I covet. I love that you DID show us so much of the process, and it always makes my Friday to watch your videos. I'm sorry you have a bit of performance anxiety about it! I do love the knowledge you drop and the learning process, but that's not why I'm here. The entertainment and inspiration are the magic ingredients.

  • @TsundereOtakuGirl
    @TsundereOtakuGirl 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hiya! Couple things I noticed (I used to work in theatrical costuming, and now Im an award winning cosplayer), that issue you were having with the butt seam on the flowy trousers probably came from a slight tension issue from the two biases. Basically, one side was probably pulled SLIGHTLY tighter than the other while you were sewing it, causing a very subtle warp that appears corrected when you add tension to the fit like you demonstrated. Second, the hip thing you mentioned is one of those thinga that you only learn making trousers or jumpsuits: the Natural waist (the smallest point on you, usually across your belly button), the 3-inch waist (the point at the top of the hip bone, usually around three inches below the natural waist), and the 9-inch waist (the largest part of the hip, usually around the meaty part of the bum, and typically around 9 inches below the natural waist).
    Im super tempted to attempt some of those splitside trousers to make my roomie a mushroom costume for renfaire haha

  • @HealthyDisrespectforAuthority

    That middle of the front to middle of the back measurement can also be called the rise, interchangeably with crotch.

  • @MsHedgehog
    @MsHedgehog 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Chiming in to say that the japanese solved the pocket issue of hakama by having huge pocket sleeves instead. Which I find deligthful!
    When measuring for a trouser block for woven fabric you are supposed to take all your measurments *while sitting down on a chair* and add ease on top of that. The sitting down part can make a fairly big difference in the measurments because we humans are fairly squishy around the middle, and the general reasoning is that a loser fit while standing is better than a too tigth a fit while sitting. I also agree on the crotch mold. I have tried the math way, and it only worked as a starting point for fitting and I was going for a fairly loose fit!

  • @SilvanaTheNonCraftingCrafter
    @SilvanaTheNonCraftingCrafter 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi, I had a thunk (not a typo) about the upper part of the trousers not going quite as planned - try cutting them straight up from the hip (with enough ease factored in), then pleating towards the sides from the centre to take up the difference between hip & waist. You could stitch the pleats down a little way (2-3 inches) to keep them in check.
    I have learned that hips have 3 measurements. Top of bone (just under the waist), mid bone (where we bend) & lower (the widest bit). The one you'd want for these trousers would be the lower one + at least 2 inches ease + seam allowance.
    Hope this helps :)

    As an attempt to level up my pattern-making skills I think I pulled the ultimate lever : I became a professional pattern-maker. It works great. But now I feel compelled to do three prototypes for every project! So it's very liberating to watch your free-handed process! Thank you!
    Also an anecdote: the first year I started to sew I was 12, and for my very first project I decided to draft a dress myself. It was okay save for the fact that I forgot to add a hole for the head!! I've come a long way hahaha

    @stillhuntre55 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just watched AshLG's video! Love this concept - gonna work on this myself. As someone in retail, I'm always going to the washroom in public toilets - so my trousers being a pile of fabric on a disgusting floor is a problem I need to crack! That said - I like longer tunics and I NEVER show my trouser waistband. My tops are always untucked and flowy, or I tuck in and wear a waistcoat which covers my waistband. But pockets are a must.....

  • @tmcaleer50
    @tmcaleer50 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I remember wrap pants from the late 60’s-early 70’s and there is also the Thai fisherman pants.
    There is a lot of fabric to these pants but they have a loose airy feel about them. With the closure at the front you have side gaps and visual open long fabric line facing the front, with width and volume added to the hips.
    I think making the closure at the back might solve some of what makes be shy away from this style. This is more difficult to deal with and possibly uncomfortable when sitting back against a tie.
    The old style wrap around skirts had a slit in the top of the skirt trim whereby you could slide the tie through it and tie it together in the front. Placing 2 of this type slit on each side along with some belt loops to keep it in place might be the ticket for me to try to achieve fabric flaps back.

    I love this channel, it is so entertaining, unfortunate probably not so much for the one who is doing the demo, but her personality is so cute and humerous you have to continue to the end to see the completed projects. All three pant styles looked great on her but it wasn't about the look it was all about the fit so she addressed that which was important. How many of us go through cutting out a pattern and not having fit comfortable. Our once anticipated excitment turns in to - Oh No what have I done, but I love how she smiled and added alittle bit fabric where needed and in doing so made it very fashionable, the grey pants really looked good on her. Enjoyed her personality and will smile next time I come up with "Oh no what have I done"
    moment. I hope and cross my fingers it won't be a reoccuring incident.

    I love this! I can sew square things, but making clothes scares me. I'm definitely going to try to make some pants though, the pink ones seem flowy enough that if it's not perfect, it'll probably be fine.

    I'm currently working on something similar, mine is influenced by the Hakama Kimono. Mine are not just pants though. I am making a overalls/jumpsuit version. A jumpsuit you don't have to completely undress to use the loo. I'm still working out the kinks before sewing but this video was extremely helpful!
    Oh, I also want to easily tuck in shirts to wear over the top. Like sweaters and buttons up for more variety

    I actually made some split pants after seeing your skirt video and the choice I made was to have the back pocket panel sew into the back waist band -- tie the back waist band first using something slim/unnoticeable-- and then the front pocket panel, while connect to the front pants outseam, was not connected to the front waist band, so free floating essentially. Meaning -- it's borderline impossible to have to have skin slippage within the "split", with the caveat it's adjustability comes from the width of the free floating front pocket panel.

    Sasha starlight has a really good video on this. The waist band uses a drawstring and elastic.

    Not a collaboration I had expected but I love it! Love both your channels and your way of goinga about sewing and experimenting 🥰 All the pants look great but I think the pirate ones are my favourite... 🤔 Now I also want to make pants 😁

    Thank you so much for making this video!!! this is wonderful, I love the collaboration, and I REALLY want to make a version of your third pair specifically to be athletic pants! I love the adjustability, it looks super comfy and super cute! When I ride my bike sometimes the grease from the gears gets on my pants on the right leg, or my pants get ruined by getting caught in the gears. The design of the past-the-knee cinched, adjustable split side pants is WONDERFUL!!! thank you so much for all of your super cool ideas, and sharing the really interesting process!!!

    Split side pants, aka the Hakama XD
    They lack pockets because traditionally, you'd use the large square sleeves as your pockets

    I used the crotch mold technique with tinfoil to make my wrap pants and used it again to make wrap pants for my mother-in-law. It worked really well both times! I needed a little adjustment on both because 1) my butt will always need more room and 2) I was using MIL's pants for that pattern so it needed refining. But honestly idk if I'll ever go back, even making conventional pants.

  • @arionrhod6383
    @arionrhod6383 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    First, I love the idea, I want to try it! Second, I think the reason the full pants wrinkle on the seam in the back is that you may have joined a piece that was on grain with a piece on the bias and the bias stretched - I notice that it's buckling more on one side, so that's my impression at least! Nice job all around!

    I made a pair of the wrap pants that are popular a few years ago and they ALWAYS fell open when seated at work.
    I DEFINITELY want to now convert them to this style!

    So, if you want to take this to the next level. Search "infinity jumpsuit" or infinity dress. Basically, make the "sash" extra long and wide, and then the sash becomes your shirt, or shirt accessories in 10 different ways. That is my goal. With the super floofy legs

    You can also roll up a length of tinfoil. Pull off a long length of foil, on the long side start rolling but do it so you will have a long piece of bendable tinfoil. Put the foil roll between your legs and smooth it until it closely conforms to your crotch sharp trace the shape on a more stable piece of paper. An easier way to measure your crotch depth is to mark your “natural” waist by putting a narrow (1/4 or 1/8) piece of elastic around your waist so it settles at the narrowest part of your body. It’s nothing to do with where the waistband goes or where you wear your jeans. It’s a pretty fixed spot on the body which makes it easier to make patterns with. With the elastic in place sit on a wooden chair with a flat bottom of it. Hold up a wooden ruler by where your side seam is, and measure from the elastic to the seat of the chair. That’s just the crotch depth.

    The split side pants that I had years ago were, when laid out as flat as I could, rectangles with a crotch cut out the top where it was sewn together. Offset the crotch U toward the front to make the front smaller than the back. Ties on the front and back and hemmed.
    No I didn't make them, I was simply intrigued 😊

    The berry colored ones are gorgeous, elegant, and swoosh. The grey ones are classy and professional, and they actually fit you quite well. The patchwork ones are cute and adorable, and you need to record something in them with your dog, like a live version of The Fool card in the Tarot. 😂

    Sasha Starlight has an amazing video for adjustable palazzo pants, they're lovely, maybe you could try that pattern instead of the split. I'm not a fan of the split anything lol.
