Elisabe, Thanks very much for showing your process on fitting the pants. This is very helpful. It's time for me to make another blueprint so this is very timely.
@@moniquerobinson7691 thank you for watching. Once I realised where I needed to give more ease and take away some ease it made a big difference to my fit.
I cannot thank you enough Elsabe. Very Informative & clear instructions. I am now going to pull out my pants pattern & go for it. The side on photos were a great inspiration. Please come to Australia ❤❤❤
Thank you Elsabe for sharing. My body also changed and your video is a great help to sort my problems out with regard to the pants. We appreciate what you doing to help us to improve our sewing skills.
Great informations and the steps make so much sense now. Love your final pants...cant wait to see what you will do with them! Thank you so much for taking the time For this video❤👏🏻👏🏻
Elsabe, you are so kind to teach us all the devilish details of pant drafting with the image flaws that we all have. You have given complete instructions here, very grateful.
Thanks for watching. The pattern as is gives me the right circumference but divides it equally between front and back pattern. I think that establishing where I needed to give ease and where to take away ease really made the difference.
Great video Elsabe. I have drafted my pants and will now follow your instructions to complete them to fit properly (after making a pair of jeans that dont quite fit right). Very informative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Elsabe, for sharing your fitting knowledge with those of us trying to find success in fitting the garments we sew. I am motivated to take out my pants kit and try again.
This was such good information - I bought the pants kit a while ago and have not had the confidence to use it. You have inspired me to get it out and use it. Thank you - have been learning a lot from your tutorials so please keep doing them.
Thank you for showing us this information. This is quite helpful and interesting. My Surefit pants pattern gives me the best fit of any pattern I’ve ever used from waist to crotch. Legs are a bit wide but easy to taper in. I’m in process of sewing the boot strap pants form so I can fit my pants easier plus see what looks better on me.
Thank you Elsabe. Towards the end of the video, you mentioned that you shortened the front crotch length by 1cm. Did I understand correctly that you pinned out a wedge from center front seam just below the tummy and decreasing to nothing at the side seam hip area, but then you made the adjustment by taking off the 1cm at the top of the waist area for expediency? For the final pattern, would you do the pattern adjustment just below the tummy area or at the waist level? The net measurements would be the same either way, but would the fit be any different between the two adjustments?
Thank you very much. This is very enlightening. I do have one question: With the redistributed ease, isn't the side seam of the back panel a tad longer in the hip area than the side seam of the front panel? It looks that way on the video around 29.05 and following where you show the two pattern pieces stacked on top of each other. So how do you sew it together, ease the back portion? Thank you.
Very interesting Elsabe! Just a question about the different shapes your side seams have at the low hip area, ie the back was curvier than the front, doesn't that mean the back side seam is longer than the front side seam? Did you need to ease in the back pattern to the front, or did you hand that in some other way? thanks so much :-)
Thank you Elsabe ❤ how do you manage for the quite different curvature of your pants (front & back) in the hip area? Isn't it difficult to mach in sewing? Did you verify that the side seamlines have the same length for front and back?
I had no problem with the curved seams. As you saw on my photo my pants seam was smooth. I always measure my inseam measurement when drawing my pattern and when I true my pattern I check my side seam. I think if I had more of an extreme curve it would change the length, but in this case I had no issues with the side seams.
Brilliant video! Very helpful. I will pull out my pansy kit and give it another go. Thank you.

I hope your pants form is a success. Share it on the SFD Facebook group once you are done.

When I pinned it together it matched without having to ease it in. I actually got a smooth seam.

Carmen, is that you from Fitting Essentials and Inhouse Pattern? Claudia here. I have the same question, see above.
