I learned to sew when I was six and though I am not even remotely a beginner I still find it a challenge to follow the instructions that come with commercial patterns as the sample pics are not sufficient and the directions can be interpreted many ways and even at times poorly explained. I am a visual learner and Mimi seems to be the only pattern designer that has video tutorials that walk you through each pattern she has and that has made this soooooooo effortless! It’s a brilliant sales tactic as well. I specifically purchased a dozen or so of her patterns because of this. I made these pants yesterday and wore em today and omfg they are sooooooooooooooooooo comfortable! I’m working on a second pair now! Thankyou
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Alonso Jaden thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
This is an awesome teaching video. I am about to embark on sewing my first pair of pants with a fly and zipper. I happened to have this pattern in my stash which I purchased for the vest. Now I can't wait to jump in. Your video makes it appear so less daunting. Thank you!
Firstly, MimiG you style your designs to grace and enhance the body, regardless of size. Thankyou. These pants are soooooo flatering, and make a woman look like she is power dressing, not skanky dress. I can not find these pants to buy at any shop on the rack. You are fantastic. Everywoman should have your designs as a capsule wardrobe.
I just finished my first pair of pants ever following your tutorial, and they are GREAT! I made your pants for my mom. I've just started sewing so she supports me by being my customer/guinea pig. I've called her over to try them on, so that will be the big test. But as far as the look, they look amazing. They actually look and function like pants. I know that that's silly, but as a beginner I'm always afraid I'll get some Frankenstein looking creation. And that it'll be like the hand made mugs you make for your parents. They're super happy and proud of you but everyone else thinks you made a bowl or morphed figurine. Anyway, thanks for the tutorials on how to make your fabulous clothes.
I love what you’re doing. I recently signed up for your class. I’m not a beginner but haven’t sewed in a while. There are so many things that I missed out on when I first learned and your class is making it a lot easier.
I am seeing ur tutorial for the first time and i am inlove already, i have never bought a pattern bc i beginner, will be ordering this pattern right away bc ur tutorial is just making everything easy.
I have just completed the pants. What a mess, but I never gave up and learned a ton. Starting the coat next. Ty so very much. Could never have gotten this far without your tutorials.
Bought the pattern and done the jacket. Next project is the pants. I do a hong kong finish on my pieces and would love to know when to do the finish before continuing with the next step. That was my frustration with the jacket but it turned out beautiful.
I followed this tutorial with the pattern sheet. You will have to make adjustments to the pattern, if you follow this tutorial, as they are slightly different. Nevertheless, I loved the results.
I'm excited to make this! I wanna make the front shorter (maybe at the narrowest part of my waist) than the back (maybe on the hips) and tuck in the under shirt in a pair of high waist jeans. Idk if it will turn out good but still excited to try. 😆 Thanks for the tutorial!
I love the video and appreciate the sew along, although the video didn't show the part where you enclosed overlap into the closure of the yoke. I did eventually figure it out. Thank you love this pattern!
I thought these pants would be easier to sew since there was a tutorial to go along with it but I'm so lost and frustrated!! I don't think I want to finish them! I wish you would go in depth on the directions just a bit more. And show the finished product. Thanks
Akeya502 I’ve seen so many messages about showing the finished product... it,s right on the envelope. What difference would it make to see it these ones?
I just completed a Muslim of the pants everything went good. had trouble with the zipper but I figured it out after only looking at the video 1500 times lol what material was that that you use
Have anybody did this pattern 8177 can you tell me if the pants is wide enough because I want them to be wide and if anyone did the jacket to this pattern
What type of material are you using? I know I look at the pattern and he said Knit two way stretch is a tweed or two way Stretch, you experience and you know what type of material ,So what my type material is that through using? Thank you so much for your patience.👩🏾🦲😘 It says about fabric options, knit 🧶 two way stretch, But there’s so many different styles of knit 🧶 know I sound silly but I don’t have that much Sewing common sense, I No you need to stick with the material that’s on the pattern in the back, so is that a heavy two Stretch or a light two a stretch, I’ll figure it out I know it’s funny to you, but your expert at this, like I’m good at cooking and when someone ask me a question I smile, because I know they don’t get it I’m familiar with measuring cups and measuring spoons and I know the lingo of chopping and cutting ,dicing, Blanching your Tomatoes and green peppers, But when it comes to sewing I have maybe one or two common sense on that like don’t speed when your sewing 🧵 But what other things I need help! So please be patient with us.🤭 😅😂🤣🤦🏾♀️
That fly and all those waistband turnings are so confusing! ‘I want you to pivot’ ...really? Where? The underlap doesn’t match the written instructions either. I saw towards the end she changed it to match, but didn’t edit the video to match the correct way to do it. Good luck anyone wanting to follow this 🤦🏼♀️

Love these older tutorials they have so much information and I learn something new every time.
Awesome sauce!!! Thank you so much. You are my teacher now. LOL I've learned so much from you...thank you darling.
Thank you so much, it's a pleasure to watch you put these pants together. This is going to be another project for me.

I'm enchanted!!! Learned a lot with this video. Thanks, Mimi!! Everything seems to be so easy with u. 💋from Rio, Brazik
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for a job well done.
Thank you❤
Спасибо огромное!!!! Я не шила 10 лет, но за день, благодаря Вам вспомнила и сшила классные брючки!
you're a beast with that sewing machine.
Bought the pattern and done the jacket. Next project is the pants. I do a hong kong finish on my pieces and would love to know when to do the finish before continuing with the next step. That was my frustration with the jacket but it turned out beautiful.
I did the jacket and the tshirt last year for my birthday. I need to make these pants though. So cute
I followed this tutorial with the pattern sheet. You will have to make adjustments to the pattern, if you follow this tutorial, as they are slightly different. Nevertheless, I loved the results.
“Thank You for being here “ Inspired To the MaXX - i’m buying all your patterns

I love it...u make it so easy🖒
I love the tutorial
It's slowly for me . I like this.
I just bought this pattern packet today and I was wondering what material would be best to use? this is my first time sewing pants.
I love the video and appreciate the sew along, although the video didn't show the part where you enclosed overlap into the closure of the yoke. I did eventually figure it out. Thank you love this pattern!
Samantha Ferguson -how did you figure it out? Please help a sista out!!
Merci beaucoup 👍👍👍👍👍👍
These full-legged pants should fit any plus-sized woman with comfort. A partial drawstring waistline may be of more comfort for any time of the month.
Tanks you
I thought these pants would be easier to sew since there was a tutorial to go along with it but I'm so lost and frustrated!! I don't think I want to finish them! I wish you would go in depth on the directions just a bit more. And show the finished product. Thanks
Very nice
The finish garment is what she is wearing on the envelope please check it out!
Mimi can you please show the finished garments like you use to!
Gracias por traducir

brownsugarcoffee1 agreed
thanks .
Does Mimi ever responds to her message? I love her work, but I never see any responses to our questions...
1966Kibbles no she don't respond and that's something I dislike when you have a question.
I generally hate cutting my patterns do I have to cut it?
Me too. Make a copy of the piece you need to cut, and cut that. Original pattern is safe!
please show the finished garment..!

I found pictures of this pant by copying the pattern number and pasting it into the Mimi G Lifestyle Blog search box.
TheChicago35 Yeah Mimi, those were going to be great pants.
Love it! However, I wish you would have model your finished pants.
What fabric did you use for this video
where do people get completed or printable patterns?
Mimi, can you please show the finished project for this look (Pattern 8177)? Thanks!
Peace sis! The jacket is a wool blend and the black vest and pants is a gabardine. This came from her on her site.
Akeya502 I’ve seen so many messages about showing the finished product... it,s right on the envelope. What difference would it make to see it these ones?
I just completed a Muslim of the pants everything went good. had trouble with the zipper but I figured it out after only looking at the video 1500 times lol what material was that that you use
What type of zipper are you using ? My pattern says to buy an invisible zipper but the pattern and video seem to be using a normal one! HELP!!
I cannot figure out how to stitch the corner of the right fly at 18:30. Has anyone figured this out?!
Please con you do this one from making your own pattern please
that looks like denim... but any special kind?
What did the end product look like?
Mimi los patrones incluyen costuras

What fabric is that?
The jacket is a wool blend and the black vest and pants is a gabardine. This came from her on her site.

I think fabric suggestions and such are probably available in the written details within the pattern.
