Two weeks ago I tought I needed a new pair of proper trousers and spend one day to make some out of a nice tweed I found online. I compressing the 9 hours of sewing these pants into a 9 minute video.

I used the cotton coutil I had left from my corset project for the interfacing of the waistband, brown cotton for the lining of the fly, and tartan cotton for the pockets.

Did you ever make something in one day and later thought you should have taken the time? :D

@hugocolin8114 2 года назад

Most of the time, especially when I was just starting out lol

@julecaesara482 2 года назад

every short story I ever wrote...

@nadiaslegers2092 2 года назад

At tailors exam we have to make everything in one day! So I know the pressure. But you did a very nice job! I love how the pattern matches both legs! And basting is everything!

@FabulaNovaChristalis 2 года назад

As a former cosplayer I know the feeling far too well. I made a lot of stuff within a day and today I regret it because I was wasting a lot of ressources on pieces that I couldn't wear or use outside of this specific context. Nowadays I invest the Time to produce pieces I can wear over and over again.

@PermaPen 2 года назад

Oh, I always, ALWAYS need a gap between significant steps in the making, to give various "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THAT'S NOT A PAIR YOU JUST CUT YOU MUPPET"-type subconscious awarenesses an airing. Beautiful pattern-matching!

@jamiefesus2839 2 года назад

I made a dress in a day that I've now taken apart and remade 4 times because it just never seems quite right. 😂 This is quite impressive, looks like trousers in a day was a good decision actually!

@epriedane 28 дней назад

I want to share it with you. In order for the result to be more successful, it is better to make a sample model from some fabric, such as an old sheet. Then put it on yourself, make adjustments and only after that cut the main fabric. But even in this case, trying to make a dress in one day is not a good idea. Just saying. The result will be excellent. I wish you all the best. 🙋🏼‍♀️

@alandormire4587 2 года назад

This brought back a memory for me. Forty five years ago, when I was 15, I made myself a pair of trousers. Maybe it is time I did so again.

@DemetriosLevi 2 года назад

Bro....that wasn't overly dramatic. It was dramatic enough because there's no way I would have expected something that nice in *one day* . Absolutely beautiful job, brother!! The drape is perfect 🔥🔥🔥

the cutting/marking montage with the flight of the bumblebees 👌 I was stretching and toppled over on my yogamat because the laughter boggled me off balance

@egonolsen8979 2 года назад

Dear Vintagebursche, now that I have created a cap and two collars according to your book, I will create another club collar with smaller heights and then I will also dare to make pants. Thank you for this new push. Stay healthy!

@tassey 2 года назад

Looks great and clearly fits well. We have sort of lost touch with the comfort of having clothes that fit our bodies. Women actually have it worse because of more curves. But waist and inseam (to the nearest 2 inches) just does not do us justice.

@shawnflynn1713 2 года назад

As a man I can tell you that finding pants that fit properly and are comfortable, that is something I have yet to find.

@e.s.r5809 2 года назад

Women's fast fashion patterning is an utter disgrace. I think the idea that women are "harder to fit because they have curves" is a myth, to be fair. I've found men have just as much body diversity but it's much more widely ignored, probably because women's clothing is designed to be more revealing-- and women's bodies are far more scrutinised. Then major style changes are forced in women's fashion at a much more rapid pace, leading to even poorer-quality manufacture. Your average man's clothes fit appallingly, and I think we just notice it less because we don't police men's bodies quite as much. (But I also think social stigma plays a big part in pushing "men's bodies are all similar and have no curves". You'll find men's big and tall everywhere, but men's petit doesn't even exist-- despite maybe twice as much of the male population being under 5'9" as over 6'2". And nature gave my partner a fantastic, full backside. He gets the dreaded waistband gap too!)

@pheart2381 Год назад

Try a mens pattern! Ive found they actually fit better in terms of practicality rather than simply looking decorative. The last womens trousers pattern I tried seemed to assume I was infact Kim Kardashian. You have to downsize though. As a medium female I fit a men's small.

@Nemhaine42 Год назад

Ha! Fight of the Bumblebee is sometimes exactly how it feels! Trousers turned out great!

Elegantissimo come sempre e finalmente la vedo cucire, comunque cercherò di trovare un video dove la velocità e' normale perché mi affascinano i movimenti del cucito. Continui così buona serata Gisella🌹

@heatherinparis 2 года назад

So love the fact that you perfectly matched the lines in the fabric. It seems no commercial maker does that at all any more and nothing says good quality and attention to details like perfectly matched pattern lines. Beautiful job Niklas!

@seashore961 2 года назад

They look gorgeous!!! Nothing more lovely than when someone takes the time to pattern-match :') It really makes a difference in the end result! Looking forward to seeing the process of the making of the waistcoat!

I would say it was time well spent. The trousers look pretty good to me.

@saberg1082 2 года назад

Lovely! Do you have any resources for similar patterns for women?

@shawnflynn1713 2 года назад

Awesome work. I love the over dramatic part. Great work. When you decide to make and sell trousers, i wear 38x30.

@lorelay2882 2 года назад

Nice trousers! And good timing, just came to the realization after a winter of searching store to store, that the only way to get tweed pants I like is to get the fabric and sew them myself, sigh!

@1920sman 2 года назад

Great job! Reminds me of that time 20 years ago when I made 9 pair of cream Oxford bags for the men (including myself) in my 1920s dance orchestra in 6 days. Worse thing was it was over 30°C most of the week. I adapted a commercial zoot suit pattern using one of my old tailoring books as this was quicker than redrafting a pattern for each player. One pair wasn’t quite as good as I would have chosen, but overall they weren’t too bad. I could only afford to use gabardine (which I regret), but I did include shaped turn-ups, double pleats, in-seam pockets and a button fly in each. Making so many at once meant I could save time making all the flies/pockets/belt loops etc at once - so long as everything was labelled. Like you, I did cheat and use the buttonhole attachment on my machine rather than hand finishing the buttonholes. But with that many button flies I never would have finished in time. I also made a dozen real bow ties all adjustable in a green silk. I had hoped to also knit pullovers to wear for this daytime uniform (inspired by a photo of the Jack Hylton Band) but never got to that. We ended up having to disband in 2011 because of the global economic recession.

@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635 2 года назад

I especially appreciate your sewing videos

@CelestialBlossoms 11 месяцев назад

WOW. Very impressive. I dabbled a little in sewing when I was in 9th grade and made some dresses and some shorts. But I'd like to learn to sew properly. So impressed by those who know how to sew. Great job here!

@digitaldgirl4459 2 года назад

Absolutely beautiful trousers. I love when all the lines match and the fit is impeccable. It is wonderful to see these ensembles on you. You take me back to my grandfather as a younger man. It actually tears at my heart...and blesses it too.

@ievalibeka8171 2 года назад

Trousers turned out great! I especially love the sneaky green pockets (and Flight of the Bumblebee for the first stage of a "rushed" project)

@skirtedgalleons 2 года назад

The ironing speeded up and lit so lovely reminded me of an art piece you might see in a modern museum, "Man irons tweed trousers."

@sbaumgartner9848 Год назад

I love the tweed you found. It will be interesting to see if you did make a vest/waistcoat out of the remaining fabric.

@elizabethclaiborne6461 2 года назад

Button braces! Yes. They look great!

@eleanorstrong8315 2 года назад

Your pant look fabulous! I've been avoiding wool as I was told I would have to line it to prevent the fabric from stretching. It seems that's a false statement.

@robertmilo5203 2 года назад

Good video and nice trousers. I bought 70 year old wool plaid fabric from a bazaar as I loved the fabric. The original receipt from 1952 was attached. Also the fabric is very thick. Then I decided to make trousers out of it using a vintage pattern - though I never made trousers before. I pretty much decided to skip rear pockets and belt keepers. I do not use rear pockets and felt it would be much too difficult for me to get them right especially given how thick this fabric is. For the waist I plan adding side adjusters as I have two spare side adjusters. This pair shows they can look fine without rear pockets. The inseam pockets save time too. I guess that just means the front pieces need to be about 5-6 cms wider at the top. Is it easier to sew a zip fly, or a button fly? I recently finished a pair of simple cotton shorts which included my first zip and first button hole. The zip was not too difficult and it seemed like the one buttonhole gave me more trouble.

@SusieMurdoch Год назад

That tweed would be so uncomfortable on me without a lining. Props to you for having less tactile aversions than me.

I love this video! ❤ Although I really much enjoy your epic, more storytelling videos i liked the simpleness and straightforwardness of this one. The coordination of the fast forwarded footage and the music. *chef's kiss* I also liked that you showed how to adjust a pattern of your book! Looking forward to more videos like this! 🙂

@IrishShea 2 года назад

Brilliant, very much looking forward to the waistcoat piece.

@cchamilton1985 Год назад

I'd price those at $350 labor and reasonable materials, for a quality pair of pants, hand made, that fit well and look great, that's a steal. 1/4 the price of a pair from a bespoke tailor and you get the satisfaction of having made them yourself.

@lesliesgarden6798 2 года назад

@lorenzocastelli8709 2 года назад

The trousers came out great. The fit is just perfect and I love it so much. I wish I could make my own cloths, but let’s be honest: I’m not cut out for that - no pun intended. I cannot even draw or cut a straight line, not to mention that I cannot sew. Furthermore, I am lazy - I was laughing when you wrote that you were being lazy in the video. I can teach you what lazy means. - and I do not have much free time at the moment. Nevertheless, It would be a great idea for me to make my own cloths since I cannot find anything that I really like in shops or even online. The problem is that either the quality is very poor (polyester has taken over) or the price is very high. I know what you think. If you are poor and lazy, you are doomed. And you are so right. What can I say? I hope I will get better in the future. What I would like to stress here is that I like the way you dress so much - I’ve probably told you a million times, even if you probably don’t remember. I like that you wear vintage pieces - and they suit you so well - without looking like you came out from a history book - it is meant to be a compliment. That’s the kind of style I aim at achieving. Congratulations on your talent to choose, make and wear amazing clothes. :)

@albertclarke2826 2 года назад

3 years ago I couldn't sew on a button. With just a few RU-vid videos as a coach, I have now made three 3 piece suits and they fit too. Go for it, you never know until you try.

@vonvildenschwert3045 Год назад

Yes. I have the same problem. I have so many ideas for clothes. For daily wear 1890-1920s menswear and from many older eras for occasions. I just admire those abilities to actually sew something. It's one of the most incomprehensible things for me on this earth :-D. I'm happy if I manage to sew in a button. That's the most I can do. I'm extremely butter fingered and impatient. Just while watching this video the whole process felt to be sooo extremely hard and complicated for me. The more videos about sewing I tried to watch, the harder it seems to me, and I'm becoming less and less motivated to try it :-D. Yet I love suits, vintage and historical clothing. And my budget isn't very good aswell. I'm trying to buy what I can afford but it's really hard. Often have problems with fit etc. So you're really not alone in that.

@jacknjill3000 3 месяца назад

I just bought a pair of high waisted wool blend pleated pants off eBay and they were from about 3-4 years ago. But what was disappointing was the loose knit wool blend fabric and kind of like a sweater material that piles up easy. I was ready to get a few pleated pants and my first one I didn’t expect the cheaper wool blended fabric that piles up easy. I mean decades ago, even buying low end wool pleated pants, the fabric would be mostly wool and a tigher suit like fabric. So now with fast fashions, you get the look of expensive clothing, but made out of cheaper fabrics. Which is annoying bc I’m a boomer and been into clothing since the early 80’s and quality meant also great fabrics and not just mimic great fabrics. Also, do you still crease pleated pants or leave without a crease? Nice job making your own pants! I’m always amazed at how clothing is made and how some can make it so easily. Bc it seems so much details go into making clothes or well made clothes.

@pheart2381 Год назад

On my wardrobe making journey I've discovered men's trouser patterns are far superior to women's patterns. Female patterns seem cut merely to show off the curves without considering whether this makes a practical active garment. Ive now got a McColls mens "costume" pattern and the trousers fit me (female) much better than the one for women I tried before. As I said to my mum, I want trousers I can do things in,not just for showing off my ar$e!

I've made a 40s inspired wool dress in beige/camel check and I struggled a lot to match it 100%. Maybe I should give basting stitches a try next time Really nice video, I enjoyed it a lot! :)

@12Hannibal21 2 года назад

Wow! Sieht einfach spitze aus! Das weckt ja glatt den Wunsch in mir Ähnliches selbst zu tun. Wie lange hast du dich mit Schneiderarbeiten auseinandergesetzt, bevor du dich an ein eigenes Projekt gewagt hast? Hast du die Schnittmuster Selbst hergestellt nach den Proportionen aus dem Buch und den Maßen deiner Beine? Ist wirklich gut geworden! Mein Größter Respekt dafür.

@roxannlegg750 2 года назад

First time on your channel - and i was SO excited to see you make the same rookie mistake we have all made! Allowing others to see professionals are also human is so refreshing! But SO impressive! I have made pants just like these for my son, with buttons...but i seem to remember it taking a whole afternoon to do just the fly and buttons, as I had never done it before and I was just sewing by looking at existing pants. amazing.

@violetsidhe 2 года назад

@jodieroundtree488 2 года назад

The trousers are gorgeous and your dramatic styling, I absolutely loved! I just found a grey antique wool sweater for my son like that! So the trousers would be a great addition but never in a day. I am a very slow sewist. Do you wear silk long underwear or something to not have the tweed be itchy? Do you line them or it isn't a comfort problem? I love sewing for my sons as it's easier than sewing for me and my older one loves vintage

@NoraBHagen 2 года назад

Almost, fastest was a kind of unlined mantelet from five upcycled fabric aprons. Took me another day to figure out the bias binding stuff, but now it's complete for spring! neat trousers, btw. Could you find some vintage suit maker's handbook?

@ruvort1 2 года назад

Looks good! It appears that they might be slightly tight for braced trousers though. High rise, braced trousers should be loose enough that they would fall down without the braces.
