Very good tutorial. My pattern turned out very good. I myself had to convert all those inches to cm, because I'm used to cm, but that certainly didn't keep me from drafting one. Thank you for sharing.
If you doing a straight leg pattern then from the hip like draw it straight down no need to shape towards the knee and ankle. Then for your waistband band please cut it out from the trouser pattern . If you want your waist band to be 2 inches then from the waist line mark down two inches and cut out from the pattern and close the dart . This will make your waist band snatch your waist
Thanks for the tutorial,my question is,are Yu going to add a waist band ?do Yu add sewing allowance on the fabric?help us with the sewing of the trousers
You can either add sewing allowance on the fabric or the pattern paper. I traced out (using my tracing wheel) the front block And back block on a different pattern paper
Drafting depend on the way you want the shape of your pattern to be . If you feel using your knee measurement will be too much for your ankle. Then you can just add extra ease to your ankle measurement and make it as wide as you like
Trace both front and back to a new pattern paper with your tracing wheel or use a tracing paper. Then you can add your allowance on the paper or your frantic. That’s your choice 😉
This method requires drafting the back pattern on the front to make it easier. But at the end I use a tracing wheel to separate the patterns . But I’ll definitely work on another method where we draft front and back separately
When you wanted to join the knee to the crotch, you made it too curvy, that's the Reason for that, it should not be too curvy, try it out and see how it looks
