Im 51 years old. I’m a beginner sewer. I’ve taken two classes so far. The first class, I learned some sewing fundamentals, Seams, drawstring pajama pants, a knit t-shirt, and a tote bag. The second class was a tailored shirt and a duffel bag. My next two classes will a tailored dress pair of pants, and last, for a sports jacket/blazer. Watching this video was so enjoyable from start to finish. I can’t wait to make my own pair of jeans with this video. It was awesome!!!! Thanks:)

@@TockCustom Do you have to add steam allowance to the size of the pattern or is that already factored into the pattern? I just bought the same pattern you did in this video to make pants for my husband and my husband is usually a size 38. I see there is a size 39, so do I just cut pattern directly on the size 39 lines or should I add steam allowance?

Tip for you: when opening your button hole, place a pin across the top of the stitching. This will stop the seam ripper at the appropriate place and not accidentally pass the hole.
