thank you for sharing this video with us! I just wanted to mention that another way to determine your crotch depth line is to subtract your pants inseam length from your overall pants length as measured from the top of the waist at the side seam. For example, my length at the side seam waist to the floor is 40" . My inseam length is 28.5" as measured to the floor. Therefore my crotch depth is 11.5". Hope this might be a helpful guide when drafting.
@@bluesklose4019u have to measure ur nomal length from waist to floor (out seam) Den open ur leg small nd measure by placing ur tape at ur clutch side nd measure to the floor again Den minus d in side seam from d out seam (d normal trouse length) den d answer is your clutch
Thank you for your thorough explanations. If you know how to could you please do a video of pant drafting for an overweight person with an apple shape.
I didn't add allowance for the hips because it usually puffs up that hip part. What I did was add a little when I was cutting. If u notice, I placed the pattern on the fabric and cut a little out of line.
Thank you for the class...where I think should be corrected is the waist line ,the dart u added 1 inche(0.5 side by side) you didn't add it in the allowance. You only added 2 inches where 1inch was for the zipper and the other for the pocket...please explain
This was very detailed, thanks. I had a couple of queries. Firstly, why did you not keep a straight crease (6.5 frm side) but make it 7.5 down? 2ndly, for front, you added 1" for dart and 1" for zipper at waist but you didn't adjust the zipper allowance at the back waist. Finally, did you leave allowance fr stitching throughout? Because you measured as per body measurements and cut the cloth as per pattern. Maybe I didn't notice. I'm new to sewing. 😊
Thank you for your observation. Firstly, I didn’t keep a straight crease line because this is not a straight pant. It is wide bottom. Secondly, the dart and zip allowance I took for front, worked on the back too. Because it takes one leg from the front and on leg from the back to fix a zipper. Thirdly, the sewing allowance thing was an oversight. Kindly add sewing allowance to yours while cutting on the fabric.
My question: can the front crotch extension exceed 2? Assuming the hip circumference is 50, the 20th of that is 2.5; may I use that for the front crotch extension and 5, the 10th, for the back crotch extension? Note: some theories assert that the front crotch extension should not exceed 2. Thank you.
This is Beautiful, okay this is like a low waist trouser right? Wat if I'm making an high waist trouser, what's the measurements I should use please.... I have a hip of 44 also if I add 1.5 to the 11 making it 12.5 or say 13, would it come out with bulge? At the crotch area?
This is a high waist trouser. You can watch the sewing video to see how high it came out. And if it’s not high enough for you, you can then add an inch or more. And as long as you follow the procedure, the crotch wouldn’t bulge.
The 2 inches I took from the crotch to get the hip line is standard. And The 2.2 inches I took for the crotch was gotten from dividing the hips by 20 for the front and divide by 10 for the back where I used 4.4. Cos the hip I worked with is 44.
It’s not constant. When you divide the hip measurement you’re using by 20., whatever you get is what you’ll use there. And for the back piece you divide by 10.
You said you divided the front hip by 20 for the frount crouch but you only said to go out by 2" and take half inch upwards. Thats confusing. I have to start all over again cause my hip divide by 20 is 2.5 but i used 2 as instructed and it has affected every other measurement . Even you made the mistake of using 2 insted of 2.2 going with your hip measurement.
It is not too much. The bigger the size the more you’ll add too. To avoid undersizing. Well, it is better for plus size to come for fittings so that errors like these can be avoided.

To take a pant dart, you’ll measure 4inches from the front (aside the sewing allowance) and from there, take 4inches downwards. And on the back, take 4inches from the same middle, and take 5inches down.
@@ifashythis is the best method I ever found, it has dismissed for good all the troubles I was experiencing making pants: they could not be ironed due to accusing crotches.
