wow wow wow!!! I am so excited to have found you. I am a short guy so everything I buy has to be adjusted. It is getting so expensive and the work is not that great. Finding your tutorials not only is going to help with my clothes I think I would like to spend one day a week work for a business and getting experienced under my belt. Thank you so much Austin
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!!❤
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.
Great info. Forgot how to do this and needed to get more room in the seat of my husband workout shorts. Most patterns are NOT made for muscular men's so I am always having to tweak them. Thanks again!!
Thanks for this video! I’m making a pattern from a pair of tai chi pants. Baggy, loose with elastic at ankles and has a gusset. Great info on construction.
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.
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
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.
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?
Right now we’re using a Hi-Steam mini boiler industrial iron. It’s amazing! It has a pressurized water tank so you always have steam when you need it. Wawak.com sells them.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

Thanks for this, I always wondered why that didn't put gussets in trousers as standard. All my climbing trousers have a gusset and it's brilliant

Awesome! Love your Iron by the way - so short and stubby - perfect for those quick pressings!!!

Just found you now. What a great tutorial. So sorry to see you never continued the series, but know it was a well done video.
Really glad I found this. The dog made me jump! I have a similar hip curve ruler and it really is a life saver. Thank you for this demonstration!
I always wanted to know how to increase the back rise, this helped so much. Keep making helpful videos for us home sewers. ❤
Sewists nah not sewers?!😅
Love it dude keep cranking these out!
This is just what I needed! Thank you for your explanations.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Please do more videos. You have a gift.
Great tutorial. Bummer that you dont have much other content. I hope you will post more.
Just what I was looking for ! Great tutorial thank you.🙌
You should buy the razor blade seam ripper. Life changing.
thank you! my working man is constantly busting out the crotch in his pants and I knew a gusset would fix that! perfect!
Just curious if you tried it and if it helped. My husband has that issue with his work pants too so I wondered.
This was a great tutorial! So helpful!

Thank you for this!! My husband is having me make his work pants out of duck canvas and I think he needs a little more give…. Hopefully this helps!!!
i would really like to see you add an elastic piece into men's work overalls waist - to make it easier to bend and move.
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
Absolutely. You can do this same thing to an existing garment or just add it to a pattern that you're working on.
How do you know what size/ shape the gusset needs to be?
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.
thank youuuu so much ❤
What are your ideas for finishing the seams on a gusset?
Thank you

Thank you
Looking for a way to replace the crotch on my carhartt double knee pants. Any help would be appreciated
Hey! Love your videos.
What kind of clothes iron is that? Looks like a beast
Right now we’re using a Hi-Steam mini boiler industrial iron. It’s amazing! It has a pressurized water tank so you always have steam when you need it. Wawak.com sells them.
Is that okay to have 8' width for increasing the rise?
For putting one in pants do you have to rip all the way down the legs or can you rip down to the thigh?
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.
What do suit pants have? seems like none come with a gusset, is this more of a jean only feature?
I’m still not clear on how you create the gusset template itself.
I guess the hard part is figuring out the correct size and shape to make the gusset.
Why did you need to totally decontruct the hems and legs... Can you add the insert just by opening the crotch up?
Great video, thank you. Are you in Farmington, NH? I'm in Rochester.
Thanks so much! I’m actually in Farmington, ME.
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?
I’d have to see a photo. I’m not sure I understand the dilemma
Nice 👌
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
Absolutely! You would just want to make a rectangular gusset the width you want and the full length of the new inseam.
@@whiskeystitched Thank you.
Could you please add a camera overhead so I can see what you are doing? Maybe show how to make a pattern first??
8:15 I've been curious about this for a while, maybe you have the answer? Why is a chain stitch so often used on non-stretchy denim?
The chainstitch in many ways is stronger than a lock stitch and it is a more traditional way to assemble denim clothing.
@@whiskeystitched Okay interesting, thank you! 🙂

I guess your enthusiasm for YT ran out pretty quickly huh. Oh well. Thx for this one.

Am I the only one that thought the gusset went the other way this whole time??😅
I can barely see what you are doing

That's beautiful man.
