Jan, really good video about placing , and cutting out a pattern. Great instruction, information about how to lengthen, or shorten the pant leg. ( I always have had to shorten mine.) You even show how to measure to the selvage line, to make sure the grainline is straight. I learned these skills from my mother and I appreciate you still teaching the "right" way. (they way I was taught, anyway!)Many of the videos I have watched cut the notches into the seamline, rather than outward? One more tip learned from Mom- when you are sewing the "hole" left for the elastic. add a piece of ribbon or some type of tag to identify the back of the pants. Makes it much easier when you are putting them on.

I also use the pants pattern to make muslin pantaloons to wear under my long dresses or skirts in the summer instead of wearing a slip. Living in a very windy area like Kansas, when the wind blows up your skirt or dress, someone will only see something that looks like clown pants. I sew some narrow elastic an inch from the hem. They are cute for all ages of girls and women. 🤡

I made a few pairs of pajama pants 3 years ago. Then last month I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, and put on meds that make me gain weight. It’s because I was 98lbs from the unknown Graves’ disease when I made those pajama pants. The anti thyroid meds only put you back to the weight you used to be before graves. Now I have to make new ones in a larger size. I always have to adjust the crotch curve on the pants patterns to fit the butt that people say I don’t have.

You said you cut each piece one at a time. Can the back piece and the front piece be cut twice? And do they have to be right sides together on the front and the back pattern pieces?
@JanHowell Жыл бұрын
If cutting two at a time, say of the front piece. The fabric needs to right sides together or wrong sides together. If you don't, you'll have two front pieces facing the same direction. You need a left & right piece. I hope that makes sense. The only reason I cut one at a time is because I was lining up the stripes and plaid.
