    Could you please add a camera overhead so I can see what you are doing? Maybe show how to make a pattern first??

    Thankyou, I'm always having problems with to short from waist to crotch and do wonder why they put gussets in ladies tights but not in trousers. Just nor sure where I'm gonna find suitable material to do this with stretchy polyester Damask Pattern type. Any suggestions please?

    Am I the only one that thought the gusset went the other way this whole time??😅

    I’m still not clear on how you create the gusset template itself.

    Why did you need to totally decontruct the hems and legs... Can you add the insert just by opening the crotch up?

  • @kathyclawson5146
    @kathyclawson5146 5 месяцев назад

    There is a need for overweight men to have pants and shorts just like a pregnant woman. A stretchy panel they can pull up over their gut and not always have their pants falling down and their butt crack showing or belts poking into it. Wish there was something like that available. Either they could be made that way or altered.

  • @failuretosew
    @failuretosew Год назад

    How do you know what size/ shape the gusset needs to be?

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      That’s totally up to you. It depends on how much rise/room you’re trying to add to your garment. I usually find 3-4 inches plus seam allowance is more than enough width and the length depends on how you want to blend it into your inseam, and whether or not your trying to maximize thigh room with the gusset.

  • @aximila123
    @aximila123 Год назад

    Question- how do you determine the size of a pant gusset? (general basic gusset as shown in the video) Do they not need to be perfectly tailored? Do you guess and check?

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      The size is somewhat subjective. I generally build mine for each garment or garment style based on how much room I want to add and where. I’ll make much longer gussets if I need more room in the thigh or shorter ones like in the video if I only need additional rise.

  • @mohammedabidi2232
    @mohammedabidi2232 Год назад

    Why doesn't the selvedge go all the way up the side? I see that the pattern tapers away from the selvedge line at the top of the block, what's the purpose of this? Great video.

    Very well done. I now feel confident about dropping the crotch in my Adidas jogger pants. They are pretty tight all the way down to the thigh so i will have to make adjustments. Thank you for sharing your skills. Blessings and Peace.

    Hemming shorts with gusset now almost to the hem. Not enough fabric to turn up and make a hem at the gusset seam. Any suggestions?

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      I’d have to see a photo. I’m not sure I understand the dilemma

  • @mrenormouscroc
    @mrenormouscroc Год назад

    You obviously know exactly what you are doing but you don't really explain the principles of construction, i.e., why you add a gusset, the importance of size/shape and the asymmetrical nature of the shape,... you gloss over all this and this is what I would like to know otherwise I wouldn't be watching. Thanks anyway, clear in as much as you do with no drama and no annoying background music, thanks for that.

  • @hikesystem7721
    @hikesystem7721 Год назад

    I guess the hard part is figuring out the correct size and shape to make the gusset.

    @alonzoramon704 Год назад

    For putting one in pants do you have to rip all the way down the legs or can you rip down to the thigh?

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      It depends on how the pants are constructed. If they have a felled seam it will ultimately be easiest and cleanest to pull the inseam and hem completely out, but if they are safety stitched or topstitched at the inseam then you should be able to do just a partial disassembly.

    Brilliant!! I've searched and searched for a pattern for bloomers with gusset, but nary a one to be found :-( They have fallen out of fashion, despite being so practical/comfortable. So have been wondering how I can add one myself. Thank you thank you thank you!!❤

    Could you use this method to also make the legs wider? My son want me to make shorts out of his skinny jeans but the legs are too tight? Thanks

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      Absolutely! You would just want to make a rectangular gusset the width you want and the full length of the new inseam.

    If you want to add the gusset to the original pattern would you do it the same way? It’s a pattern from my measurements but my original draft doesnt have a gusset

    • @whiskeystitched
      @whiskeystitched Год назад

      Absolutely. You can do this same thing to an existing garment or just add it to a pattern that you're working on.

    Thank you for explaining how you draft the shape of the gusset. For a moment It thought one of my dogs barked. LOL. Sounds a lot like one of my dogs. I wish I could work out of my barn but a tree fell on it and destroyed it. Workshop is too full of stuff right now.
