It's really nice to see a man helping us people with extra long legs who can never find anything anywhere in the gene department that fit for a tall long legged 36-in inseam female, woman. Thank you for taking the time to make this video setting up the camera and showing us how to make the lines to use as a starting point and everything else.
This is the best video I've seen for cloning my pants and giving me a way to make my own paper pattern without cutting apart the pants I'm cloning. I'm so thankful that I've found your channel and grateful that you have generously shared your knowledge. You've got a new sub, sir.
Thank you this tutorial was straightforward and clear. Just what i was looking for. Can you do a video of how to do the measurements on the zipper ,yoke and waist?
I recently came across your channel and I love it! I've watched a few videos and plan to watch many more of them. You are very talented and I'm excited to learn from you. Thank you for making these videos so people like me can gain such excellent tutelage!
Absolutely fantastic! You know the saying, "Seek and you shall find"? Well, I've been scouring books and videos for an explanation of what you so clearly demonstrated. Thank you so much!!
I'm not shocked to see so many black men sewing on RU-vid LOL I just had the urge to buy a sewing machine to fix work pants that I've been going through like crazy and since I've been patching them I'm like well I might as well make my own.. I've watched several tutorials yours is probably the best, I need you to make some more videos LOL thank you brother.
You're so bad, you're awesome. I love the detail and clarity in your video. You make it look like I can do it. I can sew, but I've never drafted my own patterns.
Clear, easy to follow. I'm gping to use this. I hve one quetion about the waist. The side seam is longer from the hip to the waist than the center seam; i.e. there is a curve over the hipbone that isn't curved in the center, especially for women. This gives the waist a dip in the center.
Remember you are making a pattern from a pair of jeans that you already have. So if they fit fine they will fit fine after completion. But if the original jean need to be adjusted, do the adjustments before cutting your new jean from the fabric.
Hello. I just wanted to say thank you soooo much for this video on Jean construction. You do an excellent job at explaining step by step. I can't wait to try this method because you make so easy to follow. You take all the guess work out of how to draft a pant pattern. Thanks again.
IF YOU HAVE SOME OLD JEANS IN YOUR SIZE, THE SAME METHOD CAN BE USED TO MAKE THE JEAN PATTERN FOR YOURSELF. HOWEVER, YOU WANT A PAIR THAT FITS YOU THE WAY YOU LIKE. IF YOU DON'T THEN BUY A PAIR, MEASURE THEM, MAKE THE PATTERN, THEN RETURN THEM FOR A REFUND OR KEEP THEM. I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL. MR.EWS
This small panel in the back is called the yoke, and I have a video just for that. Just click this link Jean Yoke Making studio.ru-vid.comMA1oc4Fh6Y8 Thank You, MR. EWS
This is really nice but how do u make it bigger cause most of the woman jeans are stretch jeans an then its be tight fitted so what if u don't want to make it in stretch jeans material but in the normal nonstretch jeans material how do u adjust the pattern to get that fit without it begin tight fitted?cause just remember u growing depends how old u are an u gain weight 🤔
I have drafted the jean pant pattern front and the back . In my upper search box, type in DRAFTING THE JEAN PATTERN, and that draft will appear. Thank you and enjoy. MR. EWS
Just draft the patterns for each size, it is much better practice. Grading comes when you have drafted hundreds of patterns. When you have that many patterns, you will find that you no longer have the need to grade. That is when you would use the one that is closest to the size you want and adjust it to fit. That only comes through practice, so start practicing. GOOD LUCK 👍
@13:29 You said the waist is measured to the bottom of the waistband not the top of it, but for the front panel you measured with the top included? Im confused
Thank you for your question. The pant pattern should not include the waistband, the waistband is a separate item. So with that said, for the front and the back patterns, you should measure to the BOTTOM of the waistband. If you measured to the top of the waistband, you would subtract the waistband's height from the measurements. Again thanks. MR. EWS
OMG thank you so much , I have always wanted to make my own jeans outfit . how do I sign up for your online classes. you are a blessing. thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your nice comments. The online will begin on April 16, 2022. Just visit my website then for detailed information and registration. Thank you, MR. EWS
Loved it... great video... I've been looking for jean patterns, and I had one all along ... I've copied shirts never thought of jeans..... loved watching you..... I'll be watching....
Thank you 🙏🏻Detailing, good guy And that pair of old jeans U’ve got there, it’s beautiful I tell U Not sure , seems like stone wash process before fade into this art . Love that
Greetings from the Bay Area, CA 👋 I recently began following your channel. I'm curious as to why you cut the back panel in one pice (legs + yoke)...?🤔 I began teaching myself to make jeans 2 years ago. Started by deconstructing a pair I'd had.
Thank you for your question. When I cut the back panel into one piece only was because I did not want a yoke on my jeans. This is a design choice only and not an error. But someone else had asked me to do a video on how to make a yoke and I did. So just check out the video on creating the yoke. E. W. STILES
Yes you can but, you would need to wash, dry and press the sweats first. Or to make less work for you, have them dry cleaned and pressed. Then, just follow the videos. You should never need to take them apart, if you just follow the instructions. Thank you for your question. Enjoy your now sweats and make more than just one pair, for practice. MR. EWS
Thank you very much for your description, i appreciate the attention to detail does the center back line also need to be 3/8 as well for seam allowance for sweatpants?
In your pattern the inseam and side seam lines meet at a sharp angle on the knee level. Why didn't you make them smooth? Looking at the pants it seems they are smooth. Good video, but as usual neglecting such obvious details.
On the pattern it is paper, but the fabric is not. The fabric will straighten out the transition of the difference between the bottom, knee and the thigh. If this was to be straight on the paper, it would create a different look on the garment. Many pattern that fit will have this transition. There use to be a style called the Stovepipe leg, where the legs were totally straight and did not fit the leg, but it was not suppose to. Hope this was helpful. MR. EWS
@@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212 I meant that the line between knee and thigh, instead to be straight and create that sharp angle, should be slightly curved, by use of curved ruller, and follow (continue) the straight line between bottom and knee. In that manner bottom-knee-thigh line would be smooth without any kinks. Maybe you're right that fabric will straighten out that transition, but for me smoothing will create more proffesional look and later better jeans ;) Anyway thx for your comment!
@@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212 Thank you, I have a problem during the process, my starting line(middle line)of front and back both are not straight, how do I solve it? Should I follow the same degree as I draw it? Front starting line above knee line is inclined by 3° and back starting line is inclined by 5°
@@gpxjimmy If you started from scratch with cloning the jeans, you could have done something wrong at that point or when you when you iron the seams over and under you could have stretched them. You should check those things first. If you made those mistakes that would make that happen. Cutting it wrong would do that to. Check and let me know. Thanks, EWS
Thank you so much for the video, instructions are very easy to understand. I have a jean that I want to clone, but the jean has a gusset at the crotch. I have an idea for how to construct the gusset pattern based on your approach, but I'm confused on stitching the gusset to the inseam. Would you be able to make a video on how to make a gusset for jeans? Once again, thank you for your teachings. I really appreciate it
Thank you for your request. The gusset is an extension of the back part of the pant, so treat it as one piece. Do not separate it from the back panel, instead add it to it when you are cloning the pattern. Most of the time a gusset is added because the fabric is not wide enough. However, you can lay the pattern out in a different way to make up for that. MR. EWS
@@ericw.stilesmasterbespoket3212 Sounds good, I'm gonna start with constructing the pattern using this info along with the video. Thank you for helping me out with this project, your techniques are a lifesaver
