Pant patterns can seem quite complicated. That is until we break them down into a series of small understandable iterations and suddenly, they're not so tough to comprehend anymore. In this video, start with 2 simple tubes and continue to evolve them until we arrive at the typical pattern that gets used for pants.

Hi Mr Corn 🌽, thank you so much for your efforts to make this video. Much 💕

@BlueyMcPhluey 6 күн бұрын

absolutely incredible, I think this is one of the best sewing videos I've ever seen. It's so important to have a conceptual high-level understanding of these kinds of concepts so that you can solve your own problems and so many other videos jump into the "how" and completely skip the "why" of pattern design

100% agree. This is amazing. @CorneliusQuiring you have explained this so beautifully and digestible. I've been wanting to make a better fitting pair of pants for a while and I now believe I can. I'm going to check out your course too. I actually had to pause it half way through and tell my partner I am watching the most amazing sewing video explaining why pants are constructed the way they are 😅

Simply fantastic! Now I am a novice. But I am wondering about the waist band. Sewing the inward curves at the waist line, produces a sort of V look and if you add a straight waist band, it pulls down the sides and now cause the pants to be ill fitting with bunching of the fabric. What is the best way to cut and apply a waist band? Thinking about your course and trying to find the time. Thanks.

@CorneliusQuiring 5 күн бұрын

I personally like to do a curved waist as my waist tapers in. If I had a blockier build, I would do a straight waistband. I'm glad to hear you're considering my courses.

Very nicely explained. Thank you. Though... I don't see how do you divide that curve between the legs? Do you divide it in half, or you make it 1/3 in front and 2/3 in the back? Or could you make it even 2/3 in front and 1/3 in the back? Is it arbitrary?

If the man has a big belly which falls lower than the normal waist line would you just lower the front piece to go under the belly? I did try that but the side pockets now stick out a bit like ears when he wears them. The pockets lie beautifully on a flat surface.

@CorneliusQuiring 5 күн бұрын

If you've got a bigger belly you want to angle the fly up towards the waist. Then make that line go up past the waist a bit and go back towards the outside seam.

@DeboraBenedict 5 күн бұрын

@@CorneliusQuiring So the zipper would go forward over the belly and the waist would be at the regular height? Set in place with a belt. This fellow doesn't want suspenders.

@myinnermagpie 4 күн бұрын

It sounds like a tilted waistline on a woman. I just saw something similar on this where the woman had a letter B shaped belly (round with a waist indent). Maybe look at J Sterns’ videos, Cashmerette’s pants fitting videos, or Helen Armstrong’s pattern drafting books. I think Cornelius is suggesting that you make the front of the pants longer to cover the belly but taper in at the top so they stay on. The pants would go up past the widest part of the belly so they narrow enough to stay on. Maybe? Not sure about the etiquette of noting other people’s names in comments so I apologize for that.
