In this video, I demonstrate my process of fitting pants using the Jenny Overalls pattern by Closet Core Patterns. Skip ahead to see a particular step:
0:00 introduction
1:19 taking my measurements for waist and hip
2:22 checking these against the finished garment measurements for the front rise, to pick my size
4:24 making a "foil crotch sausage" to determine the shape of my crotch curve
5:46 adjusting the pattern pieces based on my measurements
12:52 checking the fit of my muslin
15:22 altering the pattern for any additional changes
If your waist isn't the narrowest part of your torso, I recommend this blog post by Cashmerette about how to find your natural waist: blog.cashmerette.com/2018/08/...
In today's video, I'm wearing the Sallie Jumpsuit by Closet Core Patterns in navy viscose jersey from Myfabrics.co.uk

This was a great demonstration of how to mimic the crotch curve and apply that curve to the pattern. Applying that curve to the pattern is what I didn't know how to do, even though I bought an extra long flexible ruler. Thank you! Tip on how to use the ruler 1. Mold to body then immediately drop it onto the floor and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes to cool down. Otherwise it is like working with a cooked noodle! Rule= Heat forgets/Cool remembers!

Thanks! I always use a pen to trace the “matching” grainline, extending it across the paper underneath. I’ve found my hands or the ruler can slip too easily, so aligning the second piece is without the ruler, but line to line. Hope that makes sense! Love the sausage idea.
@LostMyThread
@LostMyThread 3 года назад
That makes perfect sense and sounds like a great way to make sure that you maintain a perfect grainline!

I use pipe cleaners in the foil to keep the shape, because with foil alone, it kept losing the shape. I do the slash method to pivot it to where I need more. My back is 3.5” longer than the front, guess I have a long butt lol So the max for slashing is 2” so I slash and pivot 2”, the new crotch rise adds the rest. Its weird people tell me I don’t have an ass, but when I used the foil, I have a dropped butt lol Funny how store bought don’t need any adjustments at all.
@LostMyThread
@LostMyThread 2 года назад
It's so interesting how different our bodies can be than our perception! It certainly explains why our bodies won't just fit into any old pair of pants that are designed for our hip and waist measurements. The pipe cleaners sound like such a good idea! I'm going to make myself a more permanent version by tracing it onto some poster board/card and marking some points for reference. It's the closest I can get to a 3D mockup!

I have cut out a pair of capris to try this... however I used my curve line as the sewing line and added a seam allowance. I noticed you used it as a cutting line, and I am interested to see the difference of fit between the 2 styles of adjustments. My curve turned out to be nowhere close to the pattern, so I hope this will help me, as I try toile #5 😳😂
@LostMyThread
@LostMyThread 3 года назад
That's a really good point, and I did use it as my cutting line. I don't think that the foil holds it shape well enough to use it as a guide for the whole line of the pattern piece, but more as a guide for the shape of the curve. The final pants turned out to fit well, but it's always worth doing a baste fit to be on the safe side! I am hopeful for you that it will work better for your next trial-let me know how it goes!!

Enjoyed your video, made pants years ago when I was pretty skinny. I now have 37” hips but 33” plus waist so may find it more difficult now. May give it a go after watching your videos. I don’t know this make of pattern, as it’s a digital pattern could I order from UK do you think?

@geringergasse2
@geringergasse2 2 года назад
I was happy with the butt adaption but unhappy that you accepted the fit of the front. You need to provide room for your belly so that the pockets don‘t spring open and the side seam isn‘t torn to the front.

@bunnanah

I think curving the top of the back center seam was a bad idea. Just because our butts are curvey doesn't mean the seam should be. Think about how a front bodice pattern's center line is straight and cut on a fold, even though it needs to accommodate a bust.
@LostMyThread
@LostMyThread Год назад
I definitely think there's more than one way to do anything. I find this to be a quicker fix, rather than redrafting the whole pants, but we've got to do what works for us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, though. I absolutely understand what you mean!
@bunnanah
@bunnanah Год назад
@@LostMyThread Ok but you say by scooping out the pattern "you're giving your bum more space" which is the opposite of what you're doing. You're actually removing fabric from the center to the side seam which makes it tighter around the hip line.
