Here is a little tip that I use for getting the "crotch" correct. Use a sloper or pattern that you know works for you. Lay the garment so front and back seam are opposite (laying left and right - so you will not cut them out at the same time), match up your front waist with the pattern and cut that crotch out follow the depth of the pattern and do the same on the back. This way you know the final fit will work. I love seeing your creativity - gives me lots of idea. Thanks.

I would have more confidence on where to put the crotch with another pair of favorites as a guide when I start cutting. I also would LOVE if you could do a tutorial on putting pockets on/in existing pants so I can have my phone in my pocket. So many dress pants and pajamas lack back pockets and it’s such a pain. I am thinking a pocket Velcro’d in, or stitched to the waistband or even stitched to the surface?? Loved this video!

This woman is an education in ruining perfectly good fabric. For goodness sake, measure from your crotch to your centre back. If you cut the crotch too shallow, there isn’t much you can do about it.

I love this and have literally started doing this with one of my skirts right now! Tip for those of you with bigger booties like me... If you aren't sure how low the crotch needs to start, use a pin or chalk or something to mark it 🎶 in the back and in the front 🎶 so you can pull the back waistband up the right amount to make the marks line up, then cut away :D Thanks Orly! I wore this skirt occasionally, but as big swooshy comfy pants that won't fly up on breezy days, I'll wear them heaps more 🎉

Great vid as always Orly! Quick question - how do you determine how high to cut the crotch seam?
@redthorned Жыл бұрын
you could probably find a pair of pants that you like where they sit on your waist/hips and use that length as a ref. Provably also start lower/closer to the bottom of the leg though, bc you can always cut away more, but adding fabric back can be difficult.
@TheDIYDesigner Жыл бұрын
I would either pin it on you and then cut it a little lower to accommodate for the back. Or use a pair of pants you like as a guide

Best take a pair of existing pants and use them as a pattern. If you have a more extreme figure, it might be worth the effort to ask a friend, to help with pinning and fitting the pants properly.

The main thing to watch out for which wasn’t mentioned, is where to start the cut, if it’s short, it becomes low rise pants or if one cuts longer it becomes a high rise.
@TheDIYDesigner Жыл бұрын
I guess I was imagining all of them being low and drop crotch. So cutting the rise shorter would make them less drop crotch. Making the cut lower would make a longer drop crotch.
