These pants look so good onyou, very nicely done with the wider leg. I sawthe pattern, but holding out. I just sewed 3 prs of the Jalie jeans , first pants pattern I've ever sewed, After making adjustments, came out good. the pocket instructions were difficult, but came out very well. Again this pattern came out so well on you. Your makes are always so well done Karina
Oh I love the wider legs. I had to do that with my inner waistband as well. I didn't have enough fabric. I love those buttons, perfect for these pants. I really like these!
The inner waistband is non visible so yeah, always a fabric saving way when there’s not enough :) I bought 2mt of this fabric again a few days ago, it’s so nice! Thanks for watching 🤗
LOVE your hack, those trousers are amazing! I really missed watching your videos when I only had mobile data for a month! As always a very helpful video and now I'm off to try and catch up on more that I missed! As always, TFS 👍❤
Obsessed Stitcher thank you. I’d been dreaming of pants like these for ages. I went to the same fabric shop yesterday and bought some more of the same :)
Karina. Love the method you use to create your own "look" and fit. Wonderful! Having master blocks is certainly the way to go. Initially, it does take time to do a block but the effort pays off and is a future time saver. Like you said, it opens the door to so many possibilities and opportunities. I have been using a similar system for many years and appreciate the way you you are explaining...."teaching" your how to method. It will be a valuable tool especially for newer sewists to explore. Kudos to you and happy sewing. Cheers. JoAn
Nard Ackinon getting to a stage where making changes is not scary anymore is super liberating. It’s truly gives freedom to see what you really really want. I love it and hope I’m making it easy to achieve :) thanks for watching.
I love the pattern and the stripy material I especially like the faux pockets good idea. You definitely need to make some plain tops to go with your colourful trousers your making which by the way suit you perfectly.
This is turning out to be “Pants September” in a way 😂. Yes, I’ve been purchasing all solid colors to make tops soon. I really need them. Thanks for watching.
I love your pants. I enjoyed this video and am really looking forward to seeing your "add-ons" and how they change the look of your pants. Thank you for mentioning the different leg widths. I tended to prefer a narrower width of about 14 1/2 inches - 37 centimeters, but want to branch out more and love seeing the differences in what different width amounts look like in real life. I realize that fabric drape will really affect the look as well, but this is still a great help to me. Thank you for sharing,
Nadine Woods I’m willing to try all the widths. The duet trousers have a skinnier leg too that would be about 37cm. For wide legs I wouldn’t make them in stiff fabrics. I’d make the slim leg in stiffer fabrics. Self imposed rules 😂
Fantastic as usual! I can't wait to see the next "hacks"! You give us all such great ideas, and the knowledge of how to make changes for ourselves! Thank you so much!!😊
Fairly small vertical stripes were an excellent choice. I like the wider leg, too. I'll be so glad when "skinny jeans" and leggings go out of style. Wish more ladies would take a good look in the mirror before putting on those things. Especially, when they're wearing a t-shirt or short top. Sure, some look fine. Sure, everyone can choose, what they please. That's not the point. The point, IMO, is to wear what is most flattering, most comfortable, based on body type. (Ducking behind a rock...... ) Thanks for sharing your modifications. Well done. Appreciate the creativity of adapting a well fitting basic pattern for a number of variations.
The skinny pant look is questionable for sure but I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon. There are ways to use them in a more flattering way (not with flats 🤦🏻♀️ and cropped things), but they really aren’t my style. I’m happy I can make whatever style I want now with this pattern 😊
Hi Karina, I'm loving "pants month"! Your wide leg version of the Duet trousers is fabulous. I really like the the faux back pocket flap and the horizontal stripe fabric on the front pockets. It's fun creating details on pants and skirts, even though, like you, I don't wear tops tucked in. Can't wait to see the next two versions. Thanks for sharing.:)
Great pair of pants and I so love the print! I really need to make myself an actual pants and bodice block! I only use my TNT pattern to create something different. You always do a great job with your blocks and it’s so inspiring!
So interesting, yes most pant patterns are tight on the legs or extra wide . Straight leg, slightly wide pants are very flattering on many people . Love yr ideas. Yr pants fit perfectly. Questions 😱 Why did u serge yr seams separately? Do u think it would make a difference if u had serged the seams together ? Very beautiful sewing 😍
Aurora26 I usually prefer to press seams open on the side seams. I do this for all my pants and skirts. It just looks better. Most RTW are serged together but I sew to have something better. Thanks for watching 😊
These are so great! How did you sew up and attach the faux back pocket flaps? I'm thinking of adding them to my sabrina slims and just doing the front pocket add on haha
Megan Strowger I sewed the two layers together (right sides touching) and left a little opening to turn them inside out. Then I stitched them at the top with two rows of top stitching.... you can’t see that because of the stripes.
Lifting Pins and Needles Thanks! That makes sense how you finished and made the pocket flaps. Did you attach them to the pants with two rows of top stitching as well?
H i Karina, love your pants. Loved the easy way you widened the legs. I am going o use this. While you were showing the paper pattern for the faux pocket flap, there was a ruler on the table that i have not seen before. Where did you get it? Seems interesting!!!
It’s those transparent rulers with a french curve. Super useful. I got it at the craft expo I went to in São Paulo a month ago. I’d been looking for one for months.

You look great in pants. Fabulous! So glad you’re doing pant tutorials. I’ve been struggling with pants for years.
Your pants look terrific! I like the pocket inserts and flaps, especially having the stripes in the opposite direction.
Tania Cern stripes are always fun that way. Thank you for watching:)
Great job.Love your pans.
Thanks so much! I could not figure out those pockets until I watched this about 4 times! you are awesome!

Thank you so much. You can widen the leg of any pant pattern that you are happy with the fit :)
Love these trousers, the slim stripe is gorgeous xx thankyou loads for showing us xx
Thanks for watching 😊. I love changing up a pattern that fits :)
Perfect width for me. My legs are awful in slim trousers. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you! I am making wide leg linen pants from a tapered leg pattern, and this video is exactly what I needed.
Cool! Glad it helped :)
Love the pants, especially the pockets, faux pockets.
Patricia Rainey thank you. They were fun to make :)

Thanks for watching and yes I’ve been busy so you might need some time to catch up 😊. Glad to have you back.
Thank you for sharing your skills! Your information on making the pants are excellent!
Thank you so much 😊. I’m glad this is handy for you.
Love your creativity
Anita McB thank you so much. It’s the most fun about sewing. Creating different details even if they are just for me.
Absolutely love your tutorial. I have been looking for a nice slack pattern. Thank you Sooo Much!
You are very welcome. These are a nice break from all the skinny type tight pants out there :)
Great vlog, very informative, and what beautiful trousers. Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching :)
Wow Karina those are amazing. You took those stripes and tamed them down into the most beautiful pair of pants. Great great video!!!
Obsessed Stitcher thank you. I’d been dreaming of pants like these for ages. I went to the same fabric shop yesterday and bought some more of the same :)
These very well made! I will be making the duet trousers.
Very nice.
Marilyn Wood thank you :)
I love these pants! They look fantastic! And can't wait to see what else you make with your base pant pattern!!!
Rita Jackson thank you! I’m enjoying myself :)

Great pants, love the pocket hacks in the back.
I’m not ready to do a full blown welt pocket anytime soon 😂. I’m just pretending.
These are gorgeous!!!
Excellent tips.
Great video, Thanks for sharing the process with us!!! Very helpful, I really like the pants!! Great Job!!
Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much :)
You always do such a lovely job with your makes, Karina. These pants look fabulous!
Thank you so much
I love ❤️ these
I love your pants and the stripes! Is your fabric woven or knit? You make such beautiful clothes!
It’s woven. Rayon/cotton blend. Thank you so much 😊
Fantastic as usual! I can't wait to see the next "hacks"! You give us all such great ideas, and the knowledge of how to make changes for ourselves! Thank you so much!!😊
Jana Monin you are very welcome :)

Yeah those details are for me 😂 and they were fun to create.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Sorry. I should have also asked if you have the website for this ruler. I would like to get one.😀
Glo Jackson i found the same one here:

Lifting Pins and Needles thanks so much
Great pair of pants and I so love the print! I really need to make myself an actual pants and bodice block! I only use my TNT pattern to create something different. You always do a great job with your blocks and it’s so inspiring!
This pattern turned out to be my block as such. I’ll treasure it because it’s the base for my future pants :)
So interesting, yes most pant patterns are tight on the legs or extra wide . Straight leg, slightly wide pants are very flattering on many people . Love yr ideas. Yr pants fit perfectly. Questions 😱
Why did u serge yr seams separately? Do u think it would make a difference if u had serged the seams together ? Very beautiful sewing 😍

Thanks for the explanation !
They look great Katrina :) How great is it when you can take one pattern and adapt it to make so much more :)
Quiltygal it’s super fun and satisfying to make different styles keeping the hips and waist the same. Loving this.
What is the current width of tge bottom leg. I mean how much extra have you taken from narrow bottom to flared one? 12 or 14 inches
The straight leg (my original version) has 16.5” and I took it to 28”.
If she added an inch to each leg seam, that’s 4 inches so it would increase from 16.5 to 20.5, not 28.
Nice
These are so great! How did you sew up and attach the faux back pocket flaps? I'm thinking of adding them to my sabrina slims and just doing the front pocket add on haha

Exactly that :) I’ll
Show that better on denim shorts. I’ve done the same with contrast stitching so it’ll be more noticeable.
H i Karina, love your pants. Loved the easy way you widened the legs. I am going o use this.
