Easy Historical Pants Tutorial || LARP, Renfaire & Fantasy Sewing
Рет қаралды 94,076
Күн бұрынHistorically inspired pants don't have to be difficult! This sewing tutorial is aimed at beginner sewists making their first projects, but these kind of trousers are a great basic outfit piece that can suit pretty much every kit and costume. I have used these Rus viking type of pants for historical, fantasy and many other genres of larp. And best of all, they are very comfortable too!

I love how comprehensive and beginner friendly this is ❤ so many people suggest starting with skirts, but this makes pants so much less intimidating!
@MarisArmoury 5 ай бұрын
Thanks! And it is true that most pants are a bit more specific in getting the fit right compared to skirts. But that is what makes these a bit more easy, if you cut the top a bit wider or smaller it doesn't matter, as it will be gathered with the belt anyway, and the gusset gives a lot of crotch room too.
@angelanice 5 ай бұрын
I made some today, and I had a problem with the crotch measurement. I measured the way you showed, but forgot that I have a larger than average rear so it doesn't come up as high as I want in the back. I'd definitely recommend measuring both front and back to avoid this ❤
@MarisArmoury 5 ай бұрын
Ah yes, that can happen. It is one of the reasons why these pants go all the way up to the waist instead of 'just' the hip so there is a bit more leeway in how far the pants can move down before they become uncomfortably low. If you have a lot of difference in the front and back you can also make the back a bit higher, but that does make the pattern drawing a bit more complicated. You can add the extra height in the back so one side of the upper pant pattern piece ends higher, but then you do have to smoothen the angle at the end. Otherwise the back of your pants will look like ^ where the seams attach which means the tunnel would be on an angle. That wouldn't work, so you can make the pants go up towards the back but make it end flat so the seams would attach at an - angle again. I hope that makes sense 😅 Unfortunately I don't think we can link pictures in comments.

Thank you for how well you walked people thru how to make these. Im sending it to my 16yo. As someone who has sewn for ages, one other thought for your pants drawstring: a package of store bought double fold bias tape, sews on the edge the same way as the one you pressed in the video works great. They are usually 3m/3yd packages & you can usually manage two ties from one package. This is good for when you want contrasting ties, but dont want to buy more fabric.
@MarisArmoury 5 ай бұрын
That is a good suggestion as well! And having contrasting ties sounds like a fun idea! Just make sure it is the sturdy kind of bias tape and not the lighter more stretchy decorative one.

If you're using the cord or rope option for it, a good idea is to add a larger bead to the ends. Wooden ones work well for it and can work similarly to aglets there in making it easier to tie them off, and if you put them on after feeding the belt through the pants, work great to prevent needing to figure out how to get the belt back in the right position for you. If you're going to do the custom belt, you can do the same kind of thing with another layer of cloth stitched over the ends, sized to make the ends larger than the slots for them at either end.

Good idea! Also works as a nice accessory.

Awesome tutorial! Really reminds me of the old Dutch LARP forums from 20 years ago where we had similar simple pants and tunics as photographed step-by-step tutorials (lost now to the void of the internet, I've searched but they're truly gone). I remember my first outfit being almost exactly these pants (no gusset but dropped the crotch quite a bit, very wide top for one size fits almost everyone) and a simple T-tunic, still have the pans and they do still see use from time to time. These days, my basic garb is mostly a grab from my LARP wardrobe and crafting focusses more on making cool top layers, but every now and again I do need to go back and make a pair of pants or tunic in a specific colour and these tutorials are a great reminder of how they can be made quickly, quite easily and still turn out great.
@MarisArmoury 5 ай бұрын
I also learned the basics of these pants from an old passed on .pdf file, though that only included very basic instructions and no photos 😅. And yes having a good set of basics is great! It is usually the top layers that make a character unique. Especially if you use quite a few layers no-one will notice if you reuse things.
@notfeedynotlazy 4 ай бұрын
2:47 nice paw socks 🙂 Also, I tend to cut the cloth directly to the final sewing allowance (say, 1 cm) instead of cutting it to size after sewing, and to pre-zigzag all around the fabric pieces before sewing, as soon as I've cut them, instead of after sewing them together. Roughly the same work (half the cutting and about 50% more machine sewing), identical result (nicely non-fraying seams), but the seams can be nicely pressed open for that completly seamless look.
@MarisArmoury 4 ай бұрын
Thanks! And I normally cut with less seam allowance as well, but if you aren't really used to sewing and measuring, having more seam allowance makes it easier. In case you mis-measured it gives you more room to still make it wider if needed. That's why I opt to go for wider seam allowances in the beginner tutorials.

I like to cut my waist ties in two pieces, like at 26:29. Then I insert a short piece of elastic between the two halves, enough to stretch between the size of my waist and the size of my hips. That way I can tie the ties for the historical look (or to adjust size if my figure changes), but can still slip the pants off without having to untie them, just like elastic waist pants.

I want to see if these are good for felted art dolls. I can't do sewing right now with dexterity problems, (just writing this takes a while) but I can needle felt because its imprecise. With some felting and some fabric glue, it might work. A little fabric paint to add texture to pre felted materials and there might be some nice look going on here... The gathering would have to be simplified, of course, (small size, thick material) but it would be super charming
@MarisArmoury 3 ай бұрын
I think it should be possible, but like you said the gathering might become a bit tricky. And with all the bulk of the folded seams it might be easier to not go for a fabric belt loop and use a piece of string instead.

Instead of just a safety pin to pull the waist tie through the casing, I like to add a bobby pin or a similar piece of wire hooked through the safety pin, to give it extra length.

You could put a thin liner on the linen, like shorts. Or find a tighter weave linen.
@MarisArmoury 3 ай бұрын
Happy to hear you like them! Linen comes in various weights and the heavier ones shouldn't be too transparent. If you have a physical fabric store you can compare them, and if you shop online check if it is apparel linen and, if it lists items of clothing it is suited for, look for things like pants or jackets. But cotton will also work!

If your waist is wider than your hip and you'd rather wear the pants at the hip, would you just replace the waist measurement with hip measurement?

Yes that is possible! But then I would definitely do the back adjustment from the worksheet. As there will be less height to compensate with when you sit down.

for plus size/AMAB/people who don't have a clearly defined waist take the waist measurement about one thumb length above your bellybutton

Thank you! I wonder if I can manipulate your pattern to insert an elastic waistband instead of a drawstring 🤔 I don't like anything tight around my waist, so I wear yoga pants a lot, but I need something warmer for gardening for example. Feeling like a viking while gardening doesn't seem too bad! =D

Yes that is possible! In that case you can sew the front seam a bit further past the tunnel marking (3cm), so that when you fold the tunnel only the back of the tunnel is open. Then you can insert the elastic band in a length that is comfortable to you, and stitch the start of the elastic to the end. After this, you can close the gap in the back of the tunnel by hand.

Love the tutorial!! Awesome job!! Sorry if it´s a stupid question, but if I wanted them to have pockets, how would you recomend doing them?
@MarisArmoury 4 ай бұрын
Personally at a larp I always wear a belt with pouches, which is a way to 'solve' this ;). If you want to add pockets in the pants you'll need to add another seam on the outside of the leg and insert it in there. I don't think sewing pocket on top of these pants will look good because of how gathered it is at the top, the floof will also be gone when you have a weight on the fabric.
