Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise, just come back to sewing after a long time and making palazzo pants will definitely use this technique now I have seen it in action no more bulk or rolling elastic, really appreciate you taking the time to share now this afternoon’s task is to finish those pants using your method 💐

This is terrific. Thank you. I've been using the cutout technique for sewing in the round for a long time, but never before seen your method of finishing the neckline. I can't wait to try it.

Hi Elsabe, I have only recently found your videos since joining Surefit Designs. Although I’ve sewn for years I’m new to overlocking. I have just purchased the same machine secondhand and cannot wait to learn how to properly use it. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. ❤ 0

Thank you Elsabe. Towards the end of the video, you mentioned that you shortened the front crotch length by 1cm. Did I understand correctly that you pinned out a wedge from center front seam just below the tummy and decreasing to nothing at the side seam hip area, but then you made the adjustment by taking off the 1cm at the top of the waist area for expediency? For the final pattern, would you do the pattern adjustment just below the tummy area or at the waist level? The net measurements would be the same either way, but would the fit be any different between the two adjustments?

Thank you Elsabe ❤ how do you manage for the quite different curvature of your pants (front & back) in the hip area? Isn't it difficult to mach in sewing? Did you verify that the side seamlines have the same length for front and back?
@ElsabeHurn11 күн бұрын
I had no problem with the curved seams. As you saw on my photo my pants seam was smooth. I always measure my inseam measurement when drawing my pattern and when I true my pattern I check my side seam. I think if I had more of an extreme curve it would change the length, but in this case I had no issues with the side seams.

Thank you very much. This is very enlightening. I do have one question: With the redistributed ease, isn't the side seam of the back panel a tad longer in the hip area than the side seam of the front panel? It looks that way on the video around 29.05 and following where you show the two pattern pieces stacked on top of each other. So how do you sew it together, ease the back portion? Thank you.

When I pinned it together it matched without having to ease it in. I actually got a smooth seam.

Very interesting Elsabe! Just a question about the different shapes your side seams have at the low hip area, ie the back was curvier than the front, doesn't that mean the back side seam is longer than the front side seam? Did you need to ease in the back pattern to the front, or did you hand that in some other way? thanks so much :-)
