How to Sew Men's Pants

This is a detailed tutorial on how to sew men's pants. I have broken the process down into chapters with a different technique described in each section. It covers everything from pattern cutting and prep work to the front and back pockets, next the waistband and finally the little details to finish the trousers.

Cornelius, I just happened on your channel. As a male trying to learn how to sew his own clothes, it’s been difficult to find a good channel. Yours fills that niche. Thank you so much. I think your content is fantastic and am following along as I sew my own trousers. Looking forward to more projects. Rgds, Scotty.

Cornelius, just spent 2 days in your intimate company following your tutorials frame by frame to create a pattern and make my own pair of trousers. Just wanted to say thank you, you are just a brilliant teacher.

Saying you're a great teacher is an understatement... Thank you for sharing your knowledge ... And oh, I love the humor ... God bless you more ❤️

its 2 am and I have no clue why I watched this entire video, but now I'm so invested I think I'm actually going to make myself a pair of pants. This is a seriously amazing channel.

As a fellow male sewer starting to make his own clothing I love your tutorials. I'm dyspraxic and the trouble with a lot of tutorials online is that they go too quickly with the steps/instructions for my brain to properly process and don't show clearly enough what they are doing so that I can understand it fully. Your tutorials are precise, clear, visable and most importantly go at a pace of which I can easily understand what you are doing. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do next. (Ps do please make your own sewing/tailoring book)

This Channel is the best for fashion design- entry level and any other designer interested in learning to sew pants for guys. His tutorials are easy to follow, its basically above design school quality. Cornelius you are boss!

One and only " on point, without unnecessary stuffs added in and without selfishly hidden steps" video I've ever seen.
Subbed, a nice pair of pants coming up with your guide from scratch, from pattern making to sewing the final product.
Made one from old bed sheets to try it out, looks pretty good as someone touching a sewing machine for the first time.
Now halfway through making another one for real.
Give yourself a medal 🤝🥇, and a pat on the back Sir Cornelius you deserve it, a lot of satisfied comments all over your videos.
Will comeback for other projects to learn from you, you are a good teacher.

I love that your machines aren't high end expensive ones that ordinary people couldn't afford. Mine is a Toyota from the 80s and it's a total workhorse. I just found your channel but after a video and a half I've subscribed because of the way you take time to explain every step

[Wilipino]

This has been, not only an amazing sewing tutorial but, an AMAZING TUTORIAL OVERALL.

I just want to share that this afternoon I finished sewing pants using this tutorial!
They fit like a glove! Thank you for sharing this with everyone!

Love the humor and the meticulous explanation for the process. Recently I've been trying to figure out a front fly zipper for my pants, and so it happens you popped up on my feed. Ouff what a pleasure to watch this one!

[trumphy]

Fantastic Cornelius. Thanks for breaking down the processes and stages in the construction, and also for pointing out the key details around the fly and zip fitting. Chapeau!

Hello Cornelius! I've been sewing clothes for me about a year, occasionally sewing for others. For Hanukkah, my son wanted updated Oxford Bags. I figured, how hard could it be. The patterns I found were awful, with little instruction or instruction for historical reproductions. Your site saved me. After creating a new pattern based on the ones I found I needed basic construction guidance. Thank you so much for your clear, fun, thorough visual and spoken instructions.

You're doing god's work here my guy. As someone that cannot stand tutorials that skip steps on small details - you've done a wonderful job. I'll be buying a serger soon, as I plan to make some of my own clothes in the near future.

I LOVE IT! "Do it before it becomes a chore". That's I'm adopting that scripture.

I read this book called the PEP method. It was all about working effcientcy (back when I used to work, tee hee, I'm retired!) and it had almost a mantra "DO IT NOW". I love your mom's scripture, "Do it before it becomes a chore". That needs to be a plaque hanging somewhere.

This was the first sewing video I've ever watched. I've been sewing for a year and a half now. I've made many many pants and I still always come back to this video to remind myself how to make the pant zipper

[Littlelegendsjazz]

I have never seen sewing made so easy like your channel. Thank you for your hard-work

[filmgirlclassic]

I've sewed pants a number of times before, and have to say that you make it look so easy! Great sew and great tutorial! Thanks!!

[Cristaynful]

I am very excited to do my first own sewn pants. Thousand thanks for your instructional video. This is the most UNSELFISH DIY I've ever watched in you tube.

[magnus]

Cornelius you are my hero. This video how to make trousers saved me totally. Millions of thanks.
