Показать описание
It’s time to improve the fit of the thighs, abdomen and the calf of our pants!
This is Episode 6 of “Let’s sew easy pants” mini-series and the final pattern fitting video in this series.

Taking a methodical approach, we are heading down the pants towards the inseam and looking at ways to adapt patterns to fit the volume of our thighs. Also, an abdominal protuberance can also affect the fit of our pants and we can adjust the pattern to accommodate the volume in this specific area of our bodies too! The fit of the calf will affect comfort and can also be improved. Another practical video in the Let’s Sew Easy Pants Mini-series!

I hope you are enjoying this practical series! It's been planned, filmed and edited with a lot of love for all of you!
Let's sew easy pants mini-series overview:
* Aimed at pant sewing beginners
* Focused on WOVEN pull on, elasticated waistband styles
* Slightly tapered to straight leg, relaxed fit styles that do not "cup" the bottom, just drape down.
* Not including darts, zippers...
* Concepts are useful for general pant sewing too

Karina, you've created the "gold standard" for sewing pants. I'm sure this series will indeed be referenced by many for years to come. I don't think I'm alone in saying we appreciate your experience and insights. Thank you for this valuable series. ❤️

If there is anything equal to a Tony, Emmy or Grammy in the Youtube video world; let us all know as you certainly should win the award for your pants series. Even in my college construction classes they did not give this in depth education and knowledge you have provided us with in this "master" series; the best of the Best!! Thank you so much!

Amazing help Karina. You really should write a book on fitting clothes. People will be using your very helpful videos for years. The way your showing how to deal with each trouser fitting problem is so easy to understand. The best fitting tutorial for trousers ever! Thank you 😘

You are absolutely amazing, having made 5 pairs of awful pants I spent a week watching and rewatching your videos, measuring myself with the help of my husband and altering my pattern. I made my muslin today. It was so much better than anything I have made before. Thank you so very much for making these brilliant videos. I am going to tackle my the top half of my body next.

Thank you, Karina! Not only are you a terrific sewist, you are a great teacher. Your instructional style is so clear and helpful. And if English is not your first language, WOW! Eager to watch more of your videos!

I previously subscribed to an online pattern drafting course with a ‘prestigious’ American fashion college. However because my shape has more contours they offered no help when asked about drafting blocks for a rounder tummy. Your series is a godsend - Thank you so much for giving your time and putting in so much effort to detailed explanations - I look to be one of many who will greatly benefit, thank you 😊

I have learned so much from you and Dorothy's Daughter on how to adjust pants, that I anticipated what you would do with the calf! I am unreasonably pleased with myself. Thank you for your lessons!

Thank you so much, I learned a lot about my body from you.
Now I understand why non of the standard pants patterns can fit my body, that is because I need flat hip adjustment 😊
I’m new to sewing, but I’m eager to learn how to do it.
I love wearing pants but non of my pants fit me properly.
So excited to try what I learned from you today ❤️🙏

Thanks again for taking the time to show us all "how to" - small steps at the time, makes it easier to understand. Loving it :-)

Thank you for lessons that truly empower and encourage women sewers. It's hard not to feel somehow odd or deformed when commercial patterns just don't fit, or at least that's how I've felt in the past. You're reminding us that with so many variations in sizes and shapes, it would be very rare to have any commercial pattern fit perfectly right out of the envelope. And then you teach us how to fix that pattern for our personal shape. Thank you. 😻😻😻

Excellent explanation of trousers fit issues. It made me smile because 70% of those alterations I had to do on my block. Use it regularly to make different styles but still get caught out using a commercial pattern for a quick make like wide leg, baggy pull on pants, disaster, back crotch curve sits between buttocks and excess fabric pillows at hips.I gave myself a good talking too, no shortcuts😅

Another amazing video with easy to follow directions. Love how u go into details and explanation as to why you do these fitting changes to your muslin. I have always had a flat butt and thin tighs, 34 " leg and a bit of a tummy. NOW I will have pants that fit! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
