EXPERT PATTERN BY CLONING A OLD PAIR OF JEANS 

Thank God for you Brother Stiles, you've really simplified cloning the jean pattern for me, thank you.

This the best video ever breaking it down and showing the exact process thankyou

I learned so much watching this video including how to use my tools, about patterns in general that will be so helpful. I would have liked to see how you handled the yokes. Hands down the best video I have watched. Thank you. Would also like to see how you handle copying pants with darts.

This makes so much more sense than all the youtube videos I've found that instruct us to outline the edges of the pants, I sincerely thank you for this tutorial

Thankx so much for sharing your tremendous expertise! No need to cut up my expensive designer jeans to clone them.

First I would like to say thank you sharing your vast knowledge. Second, I wish I would have found this video BEFORE I took apart one of my favorite pair of jeans. 😆

what about the yoke and waistband?

This is so cool … I hope you do this for a Jean jacket soon

Mr. Stiles, you are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for showing us how to clone pants using this fabulous method which I had no idea even existed. I've been trying to clone a pair of capri pants for months and I've watched tutorial after tutorial where they either fold one pant leg into another and trace around the pants....I've tried that so many times but it just doesn't come out right. I found your channel and watched this video, made me a pattern and sewed it up today and I was beside myself...it came out perfect. I improvised a bit and added a waist band to the top...PERFECT.. I am going through my closet and finding more pants to clone.. Also, your instructional method is great. I just can't say enough nice things about this video.

Very enjoyable watching the man and his craft.

Best tutorial for jeans so much easier.. I’ll be subscribing

You’re a genius! I’ve been looking for tutorials about cloning methods for some time but most of them are too complicated for me to follow. But you have such a simplistic yet much more systematic approach. Now I can clone my pants with confidence thanks to your videos. I can’t thank you enough, Eric!

I loved this. It will be so helpful to me in making my pants patterns fit.

Oh my gosh WOW!!!! Best video ever!!

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!

Thanks unc

Thanks so much!

Thanks y

Well,I tried this method and Ι cloned the center front of a pair of pants with pockets that I have and adore.this is an amazing and brilliant way of making the pattern of an existing garment. I used a self erasing marking pen,though,because the pants I cloned is light blue and I wanted to be sure that there would be no marks left the following day. I am grateful !!!!thank you very much

Yo keep doing yo thang og I really appreciate u doing this videos with especially u being a man it really helps me understand how garment construction works

Awesome tutorial! I wear elastic waisted jeans that I'd love to clone. How would I go about doing that? Stretch and measure the waist area?

How do you make a pattern piece for the waistband? Have I missed that on the video? Also, how do you do the fly tab?

Thank you for showing us where to find the balance lines on a custom made jeans pattern! What do you use to sharpen your chalk?

This is great. I'm teaching myself how to draft patterns. I've been sewing over 40 years but only recently started making my own patterns. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit. I can take a favorite pair of jeans/slacks and copy them. It's a good start. Also, where did you get your plastic L square ruler. I have a heavy metal one I found at Harbor Freight. It works, but it's clunky and heavy. You make it look easy.

This was amazing thank you!!

Does this mean that jeans don't need a dart or yolk, or has that moved into the side seam? On your construction video you put a dart in but I didn't see where you added it in the draft, can I just extend the side seam the amount of the dart if i wanted a dart?

This method looks great, just wish you would have used a sharpie so I could follow correctly 😩

How do you sharpen your chalk?

So the center back of the pants pattern has to curve up somehow to be higher than the front, but needs to be flat so that the waistband will fit. I’m confused as to how this is done…

The inseams are really hard to copy; have to do the back over. I put more lines in above the crotch point.

I see you measure below the waist band. Do you do the waistband separately and add it on later?

Thanks for this beautiful tutorial. I always thought one must use the centre crotch line, to find the centre of the pants. You are using centre waist which is not always on centre Tod find centre of the pants. How is that.

So when do you add the yolk in on these

How do I copy fly and zip area

Would you be so kind as to provide where can I obtain your curved ruler? Thank you so much.

Hey Eric, do you have instagram?
