Hello and welcome to my first ever video on RU-vid...EEK! I'm Genna and this is my channel Gen in Stitches all about everything to do with sewing!
This week's video is a Sew-A-Long vlog featuring the Tilly & the Buttons Saffiya Trouser pattern, from the book "Make it Simple" by Tilly Walnes.
For this pattern I made a size 6 in Tilly's sizes which is equivalent to a
UK size 16. I usually wear size 14 in ready to wear clothing, so do make sure to measure yourself beforehand! After completing the trousers, they were a tad too big, but not really noticeable. Next time I make these, I'll size down.
Give this vlog a watch to find out how to assemble the trousers and if you enjoyed it, please give this video a like, comment and subscribe if you want to see more!

Love the trousers. I made one, but will make several others. ❤

Such a quick and easy make x

Thanks Gena, a great tutorial. I feel inspired to give these a try. I have all the books but haven’t tried any of the patterns yet. ❤️

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

They're fab patterns and really easy to follow x

Your channel just popped up! So glad to find you! I just bought the book and made the safiyas. Same issue as well. Too big on the hips. I think I'll grade down from the waist next time. What kind of elastic did you use? I can never figure out what kind is the best for waistbands! 😁

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Oh I'm glad you found me! 😁 I just use basic 1" wide elastic for waistbands. Nothing fancy xx

Beautiful on you.

I'm just about to cut out another pair of the Safiya trousers and I have gone down a size this time. The other pair are perfectly wearable but wanted them to fit round hips a bit smaller this time. Great video! 👍 Thanks x

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Yes I found them a little roomy on the hips. I'll too size down on the next pair I make x

@beatriceellen6401 2 месяца назад

The legs are different large it is on the pattern, so it is by purpose. It is correct?

Ooh, I picked up a green dress like that from the Tu sales (£11) not sure if I should keep it just because I kept 3 jumpers and I’m trying to just buy things that I love or that are super useful (that I can’t make). Thanks for the demo - I’m new to sewing so great to see the process. (Also nice to see a fellow Brummie on You Tube too ;-) )

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Yes it's a sainsburys dress 😂. I agree though I try to only buy and keep clothing I need. This was a Xmas gift though. I do try to donate clothing I haven't worn in a while so i dont build up too many clothes in my wardrobe. I try to talk a little clearer for RU-vid 😂 no one would understand me otherwise!!!

@lovejohandmade Год назад

@@gen_in_stitches I’m really bad at getting rid of clothes because I always think they might go with something I buy in the future so I only donate clothes that are way too small for me and even then if i love it or it has memories, I can stash it away. Now that I’m sewing, though, I might be able to reuse those things so they can have another life.

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Yes exactly! Turn those clothes into something new. I have a stash that I need to mend, just where seams have come undone. Clothing is so expensive lately! I can't justify keep buying new! X

@debjones2122 Год назад

Hi from one West Midlander to another! I’ve just traced out the pattern for these trousers, they’ll be the second thing I’ve made so I hope they turn out alright!

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Can't mistake the accent! 🤣 Let me know how they turn out xx

@heatherbowser3635 Год назад

Did you make your green blouse? I have been wanting to try the trousers. I need pockets though.

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Green blouse? Did I say I was making a green blouse? 😂 I can't remember xx

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Next time I make these I'm adding pockets. I may do a video on adding inseam pockets xx

@heatherbowser3635 Год назад

@@gen_in_stitches The one you were wearing. :)

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Ohhhh hahaha no I didnt no, it's from sainsburys 🤣 xx

@lindasmith685 Год назад

I have been trying to trace the pattern from the book. I can't make head or tail of the drawings. Where do the front and back start and finish. I find it very confusing.

@gen_in_stitches Год назад

Hiya, I didn't trace the pattern. I downloaded it from tilly's website and got it printed A0 size. I'll get the pattern out from the book and have a look for you to see if I can help at all xx

@lindasmith685 Год назад

@@gen_in_stitches Hi Gen, I am ok with PDF patterns but as I had gone to the expense of buying the book I thought I would be able to trace this pattern, but I am afraid not with these trousers. Just too much on the sheet, it might have helped if the different options I.e playsuit and dungarees were in a different colour. Thank you so much for your offer of help. I am having a go at the Freya top now, so much easier.
