![How to draft Crotch Lines for Culotte from A-line skirt patterns [Pattern Making Tutorial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MvixCksR6ME/mqdefault.jpg)
Your clothes always look beautifully drafted. Must be the time invested in fitting and pressing. Can’t wait to try drafting this pattern.
❤❤❤ Thanks for all your tutorials that I've watched
You make it feel so doable! Thank you
It is, it totally is! I promise :)
Hi, just wanna tell you I finished this pants today and so happy. Drafted the pattern according to your video myself. Rejected by first seamstress because it's not complete. Eventually it needs 3 seamstress to make it perfect but it's a perfect skirt pants now. Thank you for making this tutorial video. It's an interesting journey.
I have been wanting to make myself a long pair of culottes pants. I like wearing long pants. However, as a woman I am expected to wear skirts at times. The right culottes could keep me happy and please those who want to see me in skirts. I had a pair of culottes in the 1970's that had pleats in them that hid the split between my legs. When I gained weight, I gave them away. I wish I had made a pattern from them first. Thank you.
ooooh, yes, I totally understand you! You can use this as a base and then incorporate the pleat, by using a slash&spread method to create it, I am sure you can do this and then you can make this any length. I like a design like this for a bold print, especially if you opt for no side seam - then you don't have to break up the print.
My favorite shorts are actually skorts that look really similar to these but have a panel in front so they look more like a skirt. I am very excited about making these. Thank you.
Oh yes, you can do that here as well, just sew in a panel into the side seam and use a snap or a hook to keep it in place on the opposite side :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity excellent tip, thanks!
❤ Thanks for BOTH suggestions!😊
So easy to follow what you are doing! Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial! 😀
This will be my favorite garment when it’s getting warmer. I love it.
Yep, and you can make it any length, like for example midi length to wear with boots :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity This sounds good. Did you try to sew it with a bit thicker fabric?
The ones that I made are cotton with cotton lining, the 1/2 circle skirt muslin was made from thick suiting fabric - you can definitely make them in a variety of fabrics.
I'm late to this party, but glad I came. This reminds me of a tutoria I used to draft myself some tap pants. The tips here would have helped that project turn out better.
Hello there, Esther! Oh man... I know how it feels, on a bright side - now you have all these tips in your tool box. By the way, here's the Members Extra for this project with more tips and suggestions and a look inside the garment - ruclips.net/video/bUy4S4uCHJY/видео.html
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Yes, that's true. I still have that pattern somewhere. If I can find it, I might be able to rework it.
Have to find some drafting paper; thinking I can do this. Thanks for your fantastic tutorial!
I get my big roll from amazon, I think I have a link in the description of this video - it is usually enough for about 6-9 months for me, plus I sometimes use it as my pressing cloth, lol :)
What a wonderful tutorial. I love culottes and will give this a try. Thank you. 😊
I am happy that this will help you! I made another culotte tutorial a few years back, the green ones, you can find a link in the description of this video, those are straight rather than flared, but this way you have many options.
I love all of your videos and enjoy watching your videos over and over again ❤❤❤❤ my favourite RUclips notification ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for such kind words, I truly appreciate that!
So cute and very straight forward drafting. Thank you
It is, isn't it? Basically a circle skirt with crotch extension :) by the way, here's the Members extra for it and the second part of this project is coming today :) - ruclips.net/video/bUy4S4uCHJY/видео.html
Perfect for summertime! (already here in Texas 😊🌞)
Oh yes, absolutely! Here's a Members Extra about culottes with a ton of inspiration - ruclips.net/video/d4klG5IlIV8/видео.html
잘 알아듣긴 힘들었지만 아는 단어로 조합하며 영상 잘 봤습니다^.^ 좋은 영상 올려주셔서 감사합니다😊
WOW!!! love the culotte pants 💖
Beautiful as always thank you
Great! I’ll definitely try doing one these
As always, very well done!! Your explanations are always so clear. I’ve been sewing for over fifty years and you made something make sense to me today. Please pat yourself on the back and thank you!
So cute!
Thank you, Pam! And you can make it any length, does not have to be short :)
I love these and thank you for sharing. I followed your tutorial for the half circle , but would love to know how to do the quarter circle as I prefer that fit. Thanks
Hello there Lisa, it is the same thing, you are going to fold the paper in half again and the repeat all of the same steps. You can see the Members extra for a circle skirt (where we discuss it) here - ruclips.net/video/X09PvstolkQ/видео.html (you will also find Instruction Sheets on Google Drive where you will see a visual for a 1/4 circle ) and a Members Extra for these culottes here - ruclips.net/video/bUy4S4uCHJY/видео.html
So excited for this! Already shared with tumblr and discord.
Thank you so very much ❤ I appreciate your content ❤❤ I am a beginner at sewing and you are very helpful ❤❤❤❤
This is fascinating
Beautiful!
Thank you, Maria!
Very cute!
There is a Members Extra coming up for this garment, meanwhile here's a Members Extra with culotte inspiration in different lengths! :) - ruclips.net/video/d4klG5IlIV8/видео.html
Needly done
Great video. How did you learn how to draft these shorts? Thank you.
Thank you so much, these are the cutest- and coolest! Your explanations and instructions are always easy for me to understand and follow❤ do you think you could do a couple of plus-size pattern drafts sometime? That would just be the 🍒 on the 🍰 !
Janet, hello there, unfortunately I don't have anyone to draft it for or to model it after the garment is done. Without a model I can't see if the fit or the proportions are right, I can't suggest adjustments if those are needed... there are differences when drafting for plus-sizes, but you can for sure start out with the directions in this video. After all - you are working with your measurements and therefore your measurements will be reflected on the pattern and in the garment. In the FB group for Members we have many Members with different bodies, shapes and sizes and they have drafted bodice blocks with darts, and knit bodice blocks, pants, skirts and more. I would encourage you to start with a muslin, to see if the proportions and the fit is right for how you envision it to be, that's one of the reasons I do it - I am quite short, so the length is very important and a muck up allows me to see if it actually looks good in real life or just on the paper. I hope this helps!
❤❤❤
Wonderful as usual!! Will the instruction sheet be on the members' folder?
Chiara, hello there! So sorry for the confusion - I haven't done Instruction Sheets since the Membership Update in June of 2022 - here's that video - ruclips.net/video/bSFtqRBHz4U/видео.html also, here's the Members Extra for this project, and there you will see a nearly identical project for which there is an Instruction Sheet on Google drive :) - here's the Members Extra - ruclips.net/video/bUy4S4uCHJY/видео.html
👌👌👍👏👏
Thanks for a great tutorial 😊 do you think it would work drafting a pattern for a culotte for my granddaughter ( som to be 10 years 🥰)? I mean - the measures you mention in the video - do they apply to children as well?
Hello,
if i decide to make them longer (ankle length) i should just extend the length and keep the width the same, right?
Thank you so much for this video and for the others!
Yes :) edited to add - when you make them full length - you will need to have quite a bit of fabric, for the muslin you can still do them short length, because you only need to double check the fit around the crotch, waist and side seam and for the actual garment you will do full length. The bigger is the angle of the circle the wider your culottes will be at the hem, especially if they are long.
Hi Alisa. How do I become a member of your channel? I'm from Jamaica and I love watching your videos.
Awaiting your response.
Do I have to make a muslin for it to get the necessary measurements?
Could I use this draft for a Palazzo pants?
Hi, Giselle, I have multiple videos about drafting pants, including palazzo pants. You certainly can use this draft to make long version, but keep in mind that it will get more and more flared the longer the pants get and the crotch extension length here is for a culotte. You can take a look at my other pants/palazzp pants videos and compare and make a decision what better suits your needs.
Alisa - I can't seem to find the tutorial for the pocket you used in the culotte draft. It's kind of a hidden side seam pocket... Help! Thank you!
I got your covered :) this is the tutorial, at about 8 minutes I show the steps for the pocket - ruclips.net/video/mlkre-RPTlg/видео.html
Thank you soo so much Alisa! I will give them a try!!
What material are you going to use for making the actual shorts? I can’t recall if you mentioned that.
This coming Sunday is the second part, the sewing part, of this project and we will talk about that. You can use a variety of fabrics for it, the daisy culottes in this video are made from cotton.
Ok, thank you!
I am curious what fabric you used for the blue culottes. They look really nice.
Gerrie, hello there, do you mean the mock-up or the actual garment? All is cotton, the grey mock up is suiting fabric (no fiber content known, but by the feel of it polyester or polyester mix).
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you for answering. In the thumbnail photo you are wearing flowered print culottes. Is that cotton? I’m wondering if cotton or rayon would work.
Yep, that is all cotton - the outer fabric and the lining for the daisy culottes. Rayon could work, but you have to think weather it will hold or not hold the shape, it is more drapey than cotton. Also think about is is too soft for a pair of pants/shorts? Here's Members Extra about 2 pairs of pants I made last year, same pattern but 2 different fabrics, one cotton and one rayon - you can see the difference in the flow and fit, I also talked about challenges and different sewing techniques that I used for one and the other - ruclips.net/video/aamD4MiAalM/видео.html
7:25 Sorry if i missed it, but why was 5/8" added & subtracted on those lines? Was that a standard pattern making thing, just an example, or a "custom to you" amount?
You have more body in the back than in the front crotch, therefore back crotch is a bit longer and the front is shorter. You can always adjust it depending on your fit and preference.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Do you have any guidance for when you need to adjust there? I have a big belly & flat bottom & I don't know how to account for that.
Appreciate your response! 💖
One way is to make a mock up and then see if you need any adjustments from there. These alterations at times are quite difficult to explain in a single comment, but what You can do is google "tummy alterations on pants/skirts" or similar and I bet you will find information regarding that.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you so much! ✌🏼
It's so hard to understand 😭
