Made these,. So easy , BUT as a very new overlocker virgin, I chickened out of taking out one needle etc. to do the hems. But, 3 hours from deciding to make them to wearing them. I will be making more. Thank you.

Thank you Abi for your fab videos. I have been lurking her for a while learning and taking it all in, now I’m ready and have been gifted an overlocker by my MIL who doesn’t use it any more. Yippee 🥳 so now I can try our your brilliant projects and these pants are high up on my list! Can’t wait. Thanks to you xx

Thank you so much , I’m now having a go making the overlocker cover and will let you know how I get on . Plus will try and make the pants , but probably need to see again regarding the measurements . Love the waist band and hem. Keep making the videos please . Had my in the box for over two years !!!! Until I was asked to help making scrubs . Which I did all the overlocking then passed them to someone else to finish sewing them up . Now I’m so keen to keep using it . Thank you again .

What a great technique for a waist casing! Thank you!

Great video again Abi, I’m learning lots - I’ve never tried blind hemming so that’s next on my list x

Love this video. Actually, I love all your videos. A born teacher.

I just got given a industrial overlocker and I am so glad I have come across your video,

Just discovered your channel, don't know how I have missed you, liking what I see so far, thank you. I have an oldish Janome overlocker, I'm guessing they are almost the same!!! I also have a old Toyota, that one I leave set up for when I need to do a rolled hem.

I’m going to use this method for Summer trousers and thanks for the blind hem technique shown.

Hi Abi, you've got such a lovely approach. I've just bought my first over locker and was scared to use it. You make everything look easy which is very encouraging to us beginners. Your presentation and instructions are excellent. It's obvious you put a lot of care and thought into your videos. I've got my measurements for pants and machine cover done and ready to go. Please keep doing your videos. Thank you so much, Catriona

Hi Abi, I came across your initial video for getting to know your overlocker and love your very easy way of explaining things and your demonstrations. Your presentation is spot on and allows a beginner like me to keep up. These trousers look a fab startler project and I look forward to making them especially going to try out that blind hemming technique it gives such a lovely finish with little effort - defo a winner in my book. I will be looking out for more of your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your techniques😁

U have golden hands! I'm your fan 😍 thnx so much for sharing your pattern!

Thankyou. You make it look so easy I’m a “newbie” but will have a go. You explain things really well and I have learned new techniques. 👍

Hi Abi, many thanks for doing these tutorials. I have just bought an overlocker, Jaguar 2015, no previous experience other than making face masks with filters on a normal sewing machine. and have made a pair of these pants, in half a day after making a quick zipped bag.Thanks for the great explanations. I made the pattern with weed control cloth, because I have loads of it! Keep making the vids, I will try to catch up and get up to date.

Thank you for sharing. I am definitely going to try this!

You are so clear with your instructions.I bought the same overlocker and I was very scared of it... and reading the manual was not easy... but having found your channel I can now use it easily so Thank you.

Awesome teaching, I'm never going to make these but this was still fascinating and really well out together.

I made them according to your formula using my hip measurement of 48" but they were enormous. Luckily there was lots of room to take them in so I cut off the seams and recut them using your 40" hip formula and they are perfect. Such a quick and easy sew. I've already another pair on the cutting table. I'm sure the problem was because of the very stretchy fabric I used.

I get my serger tomorrow. I m so looking forward to making these. Thank you

Love your tutorial Abi I must get on & do some sewing you are encouraging me to get going thank you for sharing. X

Thankyou! Basic is what i need!

Love watching your videos Abi. Thanks

Thanks for this video Abi. I am just starting out.

Thanks for this great idea!

I sew my pj regular first. Now that I see the video you make it look so easy. It’s my first time with the serger. It ‘s set in the box for two years. I love the way your lounge pant came out it look professional done.

Love these pants! So interesting how you made your own pattern. I'm going to try this. I would suggest making a pattern on paper first. It is easier to see for the students. Thank you for your instructions. Keep making vids!

Great tutorial. Lovely fit. Thanks for the video

I love love love this. I am so going to try them out. Your blind hemming has really interested me because it gives such a professional finish to hems. Thanks for this video Abi.

Lovely, just bought my very fist over locker..... so needed to see this

Very helpful! I like your style. I am going to try this project soon.

Hi Abi just found your channel. I’m quite new to sewing and just been gifted a new overlocker. Been having trouble using it getting very confused with tension, fabric getting stuck, etc and gave up with it all as sometimes it’s good and then it goes wrong, like you explained in your other videos on maintenance and fixing issues and understanding how they work. I’m determined today to get back on my overlocker and give it another go and not be so scared of it haha and hopefully I would like to lounge pants. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your videos. Thank you

Excellent teaching!

Brilliant tutorial thankyou x

Hi I think I might give this a go as I'm quite new to the overlocker my hubby got me a Bernina about two years ago now, thankyou for sharing this video x

Going to try this for my daughters! Great tutorial.

Brilliant video I love my lidle singer surfer.

Just found this. Love it.

I made these but with pockets they are great.

Very nice pants to relax while watching TV or on the computer at night!!

Just made a pair , worked out great and will be making more , THANKYOU

Thank you i will try this🙏❤

Hey Abi, thanks so much for this tutorial. What would really help me is to have a diagram of the trousers illustrated on your notepad, with the measurements and CL for instance labels written on as we progress. I struggle to transpose what I am seeing on the fabric, as it's inside out and not resembling trousers! into what section of the actual garment I am looking at and how that translates to my own body! or even a miniature sample version of the trousers, which you turn inside and out orientating the stages. Sorry if this seems to make your demo's slightly longer and more detailed, but am I really the only beginner who struggles with this orientation of the cut out on the table, or pattern and the finished item?!!

Loving your videos. I’m very new to overlooking but really enjoying your tutorials. Thank you

Hello. I have this machine, bought over a year ago and not used it yet. Been intimidated by the thought of using it! 😂 but you’re videos make it look easy. I’m not able to find your video on how to thread the singer overlocker or how you drafted your jersey trousers? Thanking you in anticipation. xxxx

Hi! Fantastic tutorial, Ill be definitely giving these a go! What fabric did you use for the pants please? Xx

They are lovely got to watch your tutorial. On blind hemming . Scared

Very nice!

These Videos are so great especially for numpty beginner blokes like me ...and it’s nice to see you face Abi ....many thanks

Thanks so much for sharing Abi. I’m new to your channel and am excited to get started. I’m pretty good at sewing but have never used a serger. I inherited a singer 14 U344B/354B. Is it any good? I know it’s old but I had an old pfaff sewing machine for 30 years and it was in fine working order. What do you recommend?

I know this is an older video but I've just found it. I love the idea of drafting my own pattern. Do you think this would work with woven fabric?

That was amazing! I'm terrified of maths but I may just try this...xxx

Good tutorial. I liked the way unusual stoped and raised the needles. I have a Singer overlocker. It’s probably me but I found it hard to hear you.

Thank you, I have just bought my first serger and am learning how to use it. This video was very helpful.

Did you use a special foot for the blind hem?

Hi Abi, can you tell me what needles you use for your LIDL overlooker please? I can't seem to find any for stretch fabric. Are you supposed to use the universal ones.

I’m surprised you didn’t include the link to the previous video so I have to go and search and hope that I am watching the correct one that precedes this one

Am I right or wrong in thinking you're using the standard presser foot, and not a blind hemming foot? Mine arrives tomorrow, and I haven't bought any extra feet with it?

Your videos have inspired me to get an overlocker. Thank you. Can you recommend any threads to buy please , i am in the uk x

Great Video! Learned so much. Made the pants, lounge style! What pattern is your top, it is very nice!

Help please, needle fell out, put it back in but needle clamp won't tighten and hold needle in, have to use an alum key to tighten, but just won't tighten up on my singer overlock s14-78 from liddels

Thank you for the tutorial, i really like your top , did you make it. If so what pattern did you use and is the fabric a woven or a knit , the top you have on with the finished pants thank you again 😊

How much I need one

¡¡Hola!! Me encanta su taller!!❤.Me gustaría que enseñe como confeccionar el perrito marrón que se ve en el vídeo.Felicitaciones y saludos desde Corrientes, Argentina!!! 🇦🇷 🤗

Hi Abi, do I need separate Jersey needles for my Singer overlocker, when sewing stretch fabrics, or can I use my Jersey needles from my Singer sewing machine. Thanks keep the blogs coming x

Your demo is with stretch fabric. Would your process be different when using cotton fabric?

Just started watching ur videos and love them. I been wanting to make these type of pants and now have the nerve to try. Only thing I understand your measurements except the divide by 5.5 can u explain this to me?

Hi Abi, these look super easy and excited to make them as a beginner. Thinking they would look good for my slightly oversized bridesmaids. Could you suggest a simple floaty top to go with them please. Also what type of fabric could you use, as in what’s it called? 😊

My stitches are coming out too loose

Klasse.

Would you let us know the settings of tensions? What number should we set for the tensions? There are 1- 9 so many options and i cant not be sure when i try to use my serger for sewing pants. Thank you🙏🙏

These are so easy to make and wear. The only thing missing is pockets. Any ideas how pockets could be added?

Hi What type of materiał did you use for these pants Please ?

Thank you for the video. I will try it. What thread did you use to sew this pants because I’m a beginner, and I just got my serger.

what pattern did you use?

Another question - when you did the hem at the top of the pants did you use the knife?

When she was sitting down you could see that the fabric was creasing a lot on the diagonal on the inside but again these are just loungewear
