Thank you, Thank you!!! I am a big girl with a very short inseam and could not help thinking all the 'one size fits all' measurements I found for these where 'one size fit most but not you' so having you explain how to figure the pattern to your actual size is a life saver, I have been waiting to make these for myself because of not having that so I will get sewing now!!!!
This is the absolute best tutorial I've seen for these pants. The level of finish detail you included as well as the measuring and drafting instructions are just fantastic. Can't wait to sew some up!!
I still own one of these pants made back in the 1970s, but I no longer have the pattern and I'm no longer the same size. I've been wanting to make some of these because they are so comfortable. Thank you for showing me how to do this.

Hello Eva! Thank you so much for the sweet feedback. 😄 I have put additional explanations in the caption, for doing the Total Crotch Curve Base 02:26 and Waist Shaping 04:11. Best wishes!
Just wanted to say I made these in a jungle print as pants and playing card print in shorts and I have a few other fabrics to try as an experiment for them . I’ve now been commissioned to make my mother some Christmas wrap pants and some wrap shorts for me for Xmas. Thanks so much, you’re a wonderful teacher
Thank you so much! I've been watching a bunch of 'levels' of quality with making the wrap pants and on many videos, it wasn't clear at all to me how to achieve the measurements, so it was really great to enjoy your clarity so I can get on with my project with confidence! Also, kudos on your video quality and pace! Well done!
Hello, thank you for watching! ❤ For example, if Hip is 36 inches, adding wearing ease of 4 inches to that will give an "Eased Hip" of 40 inches. So, "Quarter Eased Hip" will be 40 inches divided by 4, which gives 10 inches.
Hello Lady! Thank you so much for the kind feedback. 😄 I have put additional explanations in the caption, for doing the Total Crotch Curve Base 02:26 and Waist Shaping 04:11. Best wishes!
They look great. I once made a pair after watching a video on TH-cam but there was some crucial information missing, and they didn't fit. I'm going to make another pair using your video as a guide. Thank you 😃
Thank you! I struggle making clothes for my husband. He wanted wrap pants. I think your directions will help my drafting. Also? i loved your sound effects!
Hello Claudia, thank you so much for your kind words, made me so happy. I have just put an example in the caption further explaining how to calculate the Total Crotch Base easily (02:26 ). Best wishes!
thank you. I made some wrap pants in the past but with my rounder butt it never fitted the way the turturiols said. Thank you for putting in the measurements.
Lmao @ "Struggle getting in the loo" I totally understand!! 😂😂😂 You could first take out the waist band ties. Reduce the waist line width by cutting down the excess and sew darts for shaping. Re-attach the shortened waist band. Then, add a zipper to one side and sew up the pant legs at the sides from top to bottom. Best wishes!
Thank you for this, especially with breaking down the pattern measurements. I made my own and it turned out quite okay! Question about the crotch curve: I have the base curve lengths, but how did you calculate the height of the curve? Does is matter as long as the front curve is shorter than the back curve?
Hello, thank you so much for watching. @ height of the curve, I think you mean the Crotch Depth? To measure your Crotch Depth, sit upright on a flat hard chair, and measure vertically along your side from waist line down to the point where your bum meets the chair.
Hello Yolanda, I really appreciate your sweet message I have just put an example in the caption further explaining how to calculate the Total Crotch Base easily (02:26 ). Best wishes!
I used to own a pair of these I bought at Urban Outfitters and loved them so much...Now I see ads on FB being advertised for $165 which is outrageous. Would this pattern also work as a Halter Jumpsuit?
Hello, thank you for watching. Oh $165 is too much! 😀 No, this would not work as a halter jumpsuit cos the front piece is not long enough to reach the neck. So try to extend the front piece upwards and make it longer. Best wishes.
I've watched this part 6 times now. How do the tucks work? What do you mean by "half of bust span"? Where did you get the 3 inches from? My WS result is negative. What do I do?
Help Cat, please give me your dimensions (Waist and Hip) and I will work out your numbers for you. TUCK EXPLANATION - Both of the top edges would be the same width, for example 16.5 inches. So, if waist circumference is 29 inches, then half of that is 14.5 inches. So, the waist shaping (WS) amount would be 16.5 minus 14.5, which gives 2 inches, which is the width of each tuck. The length of tuck is 3 inches down, and the position of tuck is done using Half of Bust span as a guide ( Bust Span is distance between both nipples).

@@NedouxSews sorry I eventually figured it out! Although I’m a little stuck on the crotch part. Mainly bc mine looks massive compared to your pattern. I got a 14 inch EC.
@@NedouxSews I ended up figuring it out! But any advice how to make the pant legs less wide? The pattern is amazing for my waist but I have 36 inches of fabric bunched around my skinny legs. And I don’t know how to adjust the legs without effecting the waist.
@@tiffanyrobertson889 Hello, Yes, these are loose fitting pants, so I've allowed for room around the crotch area. My own Eased Crotch Depth is 13" (actual crotch depth of 10" plus 3" of ease ). But you could definitely reduce ease to 2" if you think 14" is too much for you. 😁
@@tiffanyrobertson889 Hello, so sorry, I missed this comment. To make the legs less wide then decrease the hip measurement by 3- 4 inches, this decreases the amount of fabric used, or simply skip adding wearing ease to your actual hip measurement. Please note that I've tried it with the legs less wide, but I did not have sufficient coverage, because there is no side seams, it kept exposing my body when I walked or sat down as the fabric didn't wrap enough around my legs. 😄
Hello Bonnie, here's how to take measurements- WAIST - The waist line point is usually found 2 inches above your navel/belly button. Pass the tape rule round your waist, at that point. Measure snugly HIP - Measure around the fullest part of your hips (thighs and mid-bum) CROTCH DEPTH - When seating on a hard chair, this is the vertical distance from your waist line point to where your bum meets the chair, measured from your side.
@@NedouxSews , thank you, M'am! That's a much better measurement! I found a gentleman here in TH-cam who instructed in drafting the pattern. He said to take 1/3 hip measurement. ....I made mockup and that's too much. I now have to cut off 3.5" from top to get these to my natural waist line. I've just measured as you instruct....and that adds up to his calculation - what I'm cutting off. Perfect! Also, I had watched your video and upon making this mockup of the drafted wrap pants I found the darts you put in (which his pattern does not) are, in fact, needed. He also suggests 5" ties. That works but barely. May Yahweh bless you, M'am for your help and contribution in helping us sew!
Hello Mary, thank you for watching this, The wrap pants will naturally have a slit at the side due to the absence of side seams, so the sides are opened and not stitched together. I have put additional explanations in the caption, for doing the Total Crotch Curve Base 02:26 and Waist Shaping 04:11 easily. Happy sewing! 😄
One of the measurements you mentioned was hip depth. But I've looked through your whole video and I don't see another mention of hip depth, and none of your explanations mentioned that again. What is that and do we really need it?
Hello Kathy, thank you for pointing this out. I'd considered doing a bit of shaping at the sides, which is why I added the Hip Depth measurement, but later realized I didn't need to do that. So, please disregard that one.
I really love the tutorial but I don’t understand how you get the front crotch base measurement and the back crotch base. I saw the video many times but I can’t get my head around that bit. I hope you can help me.
Hello Mayra, thank you for watching, please see the video at 02:26. CROTCH BASE EXPLANATION 02:26 - For example, if Hip Circumference is 36 inches, the Front Crotch Base is 36 divided by 16, which gives 2.25 inches. And Back Crotch Base is 36 divided by 8, which gives 4.5 inches. Therefore, Total Crotch Base is 2.25 plus 4.5, which gives 6.75 inches. Best wishes!
Hello, that's probably because it's not wide enough. The method I used here allows enough width to wrap around the legs because of the waist shaping tucks.
I've watched a lot of these tutorials, but they always made the crotch symmetrical. Who's built like that?! I actually need my front crotch a bit longer to account for my belly--I have no bum :) So, I could basically make this, but backwards?
Hello Tracy, exactly! No one is built with crotch symmetry LOL... 😆 Yes, for your body shape, try using the crotch demarcation instructions in reverse and see how it turns out. Thank you for watching, best wishes
Hello Debbie, thank you for watching, please see the video at 02:26 .

Hello, you could skip this bit and still have good results. But I like the tucks because as the total top edge width is much wider than your actual waist. This tucks help the pants fit better after tying the band.
Sorry, I do not understand the crotch construction. I miss the measurements to follow what is used when. Maybe you can put in the description a sample with numbers? At least it seems I am not the only one😊

Hi ma'am, thank you very much for the tutorial. Can you please demonstrate an example of how you measure/calculate the eased hip.
Hello, thank you for watching! ❤ For example, if Hip is 36 inches, adding wearing ease of 4 inches to that will give an "Eased Hip" of 40 inches.
So, "Quarter Eased Hip" will be 40 inches divided by 4, which gives 10 inches.
