Lovely result. All your sewing is fabulous. When I was young - back when home economics was still taught in high school , we used ban roll or a version of it even in women’s slacks. I really prefer it, such a lovely finish. I also like having a back center seam to the waistband with a little extra fabric. That way the pant is more easily altered at the waist if needed.

I learned how to sew 50 years ago from sewing patterns. I’ve never before seen a hem like your tutorial produces. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

My daughter works in finance and we just went shopping for suits. All the suit jackets were about $1,000 and not that great. I’ve sewn a lot over the years, but not any jackets. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You’ve inspired me to start sewing suit jackets.

In my desire to make the perfect jeans, I unfortunately got the ban-roll that is made of stiff woven threads. I put a section of it on each side of the zipper, running to the side seams and have an elastic section at the back of the pant. I made three pairs of pants this way and those stiff threads started poking me while I was wearing them. It was awful! I had to unpick each waistband to enclose the edges of the ban-roll in seam binding! The inch or so where the button and button hole are are the only places I couldn't reach to enclose the edges. I may eventually just redo the waistbands if I have enough fabric. Don't get the stiff woven thread style ban-roll! Lots of people use that style to make tiny roll hems. I really don't want 50 yards of the wawak ban-roll, so I'm looking for smaller amounts, but it is sometimes hard to tell what kind it is.

Great video! Thank you!🖤

Lovely thank you so much for this tutorial

Thank you! I used your video for my first time making Jebediah trousers, and it turned out great!

Could you possibly do a full tutorial on these please as I've just brought the pattern and you video was the only one to come up. Thanks

I love you. All your skills are amazing. It helped me to do great tailoring. I am your audience and I'm one of many. I never commented, but WE are out here.

Thanks so much! My teacher is having us make jeans for our final and the instructions for this pattern aren't the best. Keep helping people you're awesome!!

Could the Ban roll be used on women’s pants too?

Thanks, Duane!

Do you roll pin the interfacing?

watching this again...My sons' love waistcoats and I have finally worked on a couple. Each time, I come back and find another thing to make it better and easier It helps that I will understitch by hand because I find it relaxing...more relaxing than stitching closed the sides Seams require more strength than understitching

Maestro that is magnificent. Perfection.

Thank you so much! I made a pair of these pants for my son and found portions of the instructions very difficult to follow. A second pair has sat unfinished for months and just needs the waistband. I will be making 2 more belt loops and following your instructions to finish. Thank you!!!

Perfect, thank you!

Very helpful tutorial! Thank you so much for your careful and detailed instructions. 🙌

I’m looking to move away from fusible interfacings. This makes the transition seem much less intimidating. Thanks so much for this video

I came for the hand sewing. I removed the lining from my coat and would like to find a method of invisible stitching. The muslin layer to your lining is a great idea ( I don’t have one) but won’t it look strange when the jacket is open? Beautiful work.

If the seam allowance is 5/8, where am I doing the double basting? Is it on the seam allowance or just inside or outside of the seam allowance? Thanks in advance.

Wow! Beautifully sewn all....

Found your video a bit too late for the waistcoat I was making for hubby, but I did somehow manage to sew on that back neck facing as per the instructions. I am now making myself a coat with the same technique but thought I'd give your method a go. I don't quite understand how you are attaching the bias strip. Are you simply wrapping it round the raw edge of the facing and turning up the bias piece to the back? So the bottom edge of the facing piece is not turned up by the seam allowance?

Nothing short of fantastic And thanks for the Ban Roll sourcing Awesome video ⭐️

The Belvedere series has been extremely helpful. I'm making my first men's jacket with an Italian wool and silk lining. This is also the first time I've used hair canvas. Very helpful videos.

Just the sort of videos I've been searching for. Thank you 😊

Loved your comment about "somewhere out there someone is looking for a bit of knowledge that you have". I have gleaned quite a few tips from you and really enjoy your content. I got a chance to meet you back in NYC August 2019 at Peter's shopping trip and found you to be super nice. Keep sewing! and putting content out there. I enjoy your voice in the sewing community.

Thats the absolute best way to make the placket i dont sew but i think thats the best look! Very rarely see details like that!

Great information! Thank you

Your video was so clear and helpful. Thank you so much!

This is such a wonderful tutorial I had been struggling with making clean button up shirt side vents. Thank you so much you and Aloha from Hawaii

I'm going to give this pattern a try. I love making vests and have added my own facings and lining pieces before. I do the same thing you did. I just cut my lining the same size as the back and topstitch the facing to it. I will take your tip and Hong Kong finish it. I was turning the edge under and stitching in place. Your way is easier and another opportunity to use those scraps. Thank you.

I love it. You showed me how to work with the plaid fabric ❤thank you…

Thank you Duane, I found this really helpful. I'm going to have a go with the ban roll as you suggest. I particularly liked the professional finish inside the waist band with the bound edge and curtain. One sees this in traditional gentleman's suits, a nice touch.

Thank you for sharing your skills, it's very much appreciated. Greetings from North Wales UK

Thank you for making this video, I have done the Jedediah pants before and not been happy with the fly. This time following your advise no problem.

so glad I found your channel as I am learning how to make dress shirts for my little one. I'm excited to make him more clothes as he grows ☺️ (he's 8)

This is the best trouser zipper insertion video I have seen. Very helpful!

I'm making this waistcoat for my this and this is my first adventure into tailoring. Your videos have been so helpful! Thank you!

I tried the back facing hong kong finish and it worked beautifuly. Thanks so much.

Hello Duane, and thank you so much for your wonderful video. I'm an experienced sewer, but never used hair interfacing before. I learned so much watching this and the video about the darts. Im making a 1949 Vintage Vogue pattern V1669, coat with some jade green velvet, a remnant given to me by my Ma, left over when she made herself an evening gown in 1964! I wont add a photo but go check out the collar, it's divine!

Thanks for the detailed tips. I'm getting ready to start one of these for my husband and will follow your method for closing.

Thanks for posting this. The two Jedediah videos have been really helpful to me. I just completed my second pair with much better fly and waistband thanks to your advice. I struggled to find Ban roll in Scotland so ended up with something called Petersham which seems to work pretty well. The one thing that still gives me grief is the top stitching on the seat seam. Stitching from the right side and catching the two seam allowances (which I bound together and pressed to one side) seems nigh on impossible to do smoothly. Should I be binding the seam allowances separately and pressing them out flat and just catching the one seam allowance? This doesn't seem very clear from the instructions.

As a newer sewist, I've been really baffled by the fly instructions on these trousers. This video helped it click into my brain a little easier, thank you so much !

You are awesome! Love your videos, all the way from Australia!

I have followed your blog and always wished you had a RUclips. I would love to make my own jackets and being able to watch you, will help me to learn . You’re amazing welcome ps I know I’m late but just happened to check and see if your old blog was up and it brought me here 😀

Fantastic video, I'm so glad I came across it. I will be applying this technique to my project. X

I go to the thrift store and buy sheets, curtains and tablecloths to use for practice garments, saves money.

Wow! You have some serious skills! Very professional.

Hello, thank you for creating a RUclips channel and your videos. I only started watching them now, but when you said:”Man, I can’t tell you how much I love the sound of the machine!” I had to comment, because, so do I!!! I have a 201 myself and I love the looks it’s functionality, that it’s all solid material and build to last, but most of all why I love the old singer is the sound!!! And I love to see that there is another guy out there being into sewing and those old, superior machines! Thank you!
