I've seen dozens of tutorials and referenced several books... they tell you what to do but not why. I'm so appreciative of you breaking it down so that I can understand the geometry! You're an excellent teacher, bravo!
absolutely incredible, I think this is one of the best sewing videos I've ever seen. It's so important to have a conceptual high-level understanding of these kinds of concepts so that you can solve your own problems and so many other videos jump into the "how" and completely skip the "why" of pattern design
100% agree. This is amazing. @CorneliusQuiring you have explained this so beautifully and digestible. I've been wanting to make a better fitting pair of pants for a while and I now believe I can. I'm going to check out your course too. I actually had to pause it half way through and tell my partner I am watching the most amazing sewing video explaining why pants are constructed the way they are 😅
Once again, you win the Best Explainer Award. Which bushel have you been hiding your light under??? You have totally given me the confidence I’ve been looking for to be able to sew. Millions of thanks!!!!!
You have a gift for teaching! I would have tried harder in math class if the curriculum actually showed examples of everyday use instead of calculating the time two trains will pass each other heading opposite directions. Your sewing channel is the only one that breaks patterns down like this!
Wow, you explain this so plainly and simply that anyone can understand the concept. I wish I had you to teach me over 60 years ago, when I was first learning to sew.
as im finishing my collection for my masters degree in fashion, i love how there's always knowledge and more to learn, the altering part of the video so nicely explained and logical (way better than what i had in 5 years in school), thank you
You should explore different styles (the Italian/continental cut, the English/drape cut, the American sack suit, etc.) and different techniques in making/sowing them. That is perhaps very high level stuff, idk, all I know is you explain stuff so well and there's a dearth of information on sowing different styles. You'd be the perfect person to explain. Also, I saw a comment somewhere saying you should write a book... I second that! I'd buy it in a heart beat.
I have always thought that cups and trousers are 2 of the hardest types of garments to learn how to draft. This video is an excellent tutorial on how to deeply understand the mechanics of it without having to passively follow a random construction book. Great channel, Cornelius
I think you just taught me some math that I couldnt figure out in High School. I never realized that I could learn better math comprehension with sewing.
Thank you so much for sharing your mind blowing ability to explain in 3D what books show in 2D… And your speach flow is so clear, perfect for people like me living in a non English speaking country. Well done Cornelius. ❤❤❤
I’ve been sewing my entire life and am very good at intuitively understanding how to turn the 3d shapes of the body into flat pattern pieces. That said, this is such an incredibly excellent explanation. I’m absolutely going to share this!
Thank you so much for this REALLY simple but very GOOD explanation of pattern drafting. You have made this with a shirt, too, if I remember correct. This helps to understand, what we are doing, when we work with patterns, make alterrations or make the pattern totally ourselfs.
This is fantastic teaching. #Masterclass material. Thank you for this cleverly and clearly explained concept of pant patterning. This helps tremendously.
Omg! This perfectly explains how things work in the pattern and how you go from 2d to 3d. Thank you so much! It makes everything so much clearer in my beginner sewist mind
At last a great explanation of why there is a funny curve in the back pattern of pants, I could never understand the reasoning behind the slope in the back. With your teaching I now fully understand that it’s used to get a smooth butt that fits well. Cornelius you are a brilliant teacher Thank you so much. ❤
I am Thanking you for your teaching I have been sewing 67yrs I would have loved to have had a teacher like yourself. You explain things slowly and methodically with detailed explanations of the methods and why they are there. God bless you. ❤
Absolutely mind blowing. I am so glad I found your channel. Understanding the basic principles is so key, but most videos and books tend to gloss over it. Your teaching abilities and soft spoken nature makes the perfect teacher! I got into sewing so I’d be able to make better fitting pants but it has always been a hit or miss. I made a pattern using your video yesterday, I have never worn anything so close to perfect. Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have a hell of a time buying pants that fit my 5’5” body because I have shorter legs. I would typically wear a medium sized pants, but since my legs are so short, I usually need to buy a boy’s size xtra large so that the bottom hem doesn’t drag on the floor. I’ve ruined so many pairs of pants trying to make adjustments and never get it right. Your explanation of why the pattern is shaped as it is was brilliant! Everything made perfect sense and was logical. Now I can see the bigger picture. Your paper and fabric models were exactly what I needed to see. A 3-D visual helped everything make sense and when it did, I was blown away! Duh! lol! You are the master and I just made you a thank you cake…but I ate it. Yes, all of it because now I know where to make adjustments when I become “full-figured”, ha! Thanks again, pal!
Not a worry, I already had cake for breakfast :) I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching am may future pants fit just as you hope.
I discovered male, ball-jointed dolls in 2006. I also found Masaaki Kawashima's flat pattern books. I have been sewing clothes for dolls in 1/6, 1/4, and 1/3 scales for the last eighteen years. You are very good at explaining what goes wrong and how to fix it. Love the content
Hey Cornelius !!!! I discovered a few month ago your chanel cuz i want to sew my own stuff. I can say from my full heart that i realy enjoy every video that i saw on your chanel and like a 100% the energy that u show in every second!!! greeting from germany. Keep goin!!!
Hi! This video is properly incredible, thank you so much for all your hard work. The production value of your channel, clarity of your voice and explanations, etc, etc. is amazing. All of this for "free"... I'd love a patreon or something to just support you outside of specific courses. But seeing how professional you are, I wouldn't doubt your business model :-D
Thank you for the very kind words about my work and thank you for the offer of support. I do also have a Patreon, available at the following link: cornelius.ooo/patreon
Thank you so much!! I am a complete idiot when it comes to sewing. Sewing has made me cry on more than one occasion, but your video didn't make me cry, I am trying now to make the pants with just an elastic waistband. I am capable in other areas, but sewing is not one of them!!
Well explained and detailed work Cornelius, I love to see your videos because you know how to make a person understand things easily with practicality. Good job keep the spirit up
Simply fantastic! Now I am a novice. But I am wondering about the waist band. Sewing the inward curves at the waist line, produces a sort of V look and if you add a straight waist band, it pulls down the sides and now cause the pants to be ill fitting with bunching of the fabric. What is the best way to cut and apply a waist band? Thinking about your course and trying to find the time. Thanks.
I personally like to do a curved waist as my waist tapers in. If I had a blockier build, I would do a straight waistband. I'm glad to hear you're considering my courses.
Very nicely explained. Thank you. Though... I don't see how do you divide that curve between the legs? Do you divide it in half, or you make it 1/3 in front and 2/3 in the back? Or could you make it even 2/3 in front and 1/3 in the back? Is it arbitrary?
No shade given to all the female seamstress that II’ve learned so much from as a beginner but a big shout out to the males that I’ve learned so some much from. The men really know how to dumb the process down for me without all the chatter and sometimes distracting background music. Cornelius thanks for your videos that makes everything so easy to understand.

Hi Mr Corn 🌽, thank you so much for your efforts to make this video. Much 💕
I've seen dozens of tutorials and referenced several books... they tell you what to do but not why. I'm so appreciative of you breaking it down so that I can understand the geometry! You're an excellent teacher, bravo!
Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear my approach works for you. Happy sewing.

I actually had to pause it half way through and tell my partner I am watching the most amazing sewing video explaining why pants are constructed the way they are 😅
Oh this hits. The triangle answered a question I had about the back seam I've had for ten years.
I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.
This is the most fun Masterclass on Pattern Drafting I have ever seen. Unbelievable this information is free, thank you very much Cornelius!
I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
If you'd ever wrote a book, I'd immediately buy it. You explain things so well. Thank you!
Perhaps one day I will create a book :)
Once again, you win the Best Explainer Award. Which bushel have you been hiding your light under??? You have totally given me the confidence I’ve been looking for to be able to sew. Millions of thanks!!!!!
You are kind, thank you. also, you've definitely got this!
This is the first time I've really understood the why and how of altering pants.
That's awesome to hear.
You made something complicated so simple that a five-year old can understand it. Thank you!!!!
A compliment of the highest order, thank you.
I am an off the wall visual learner and I LOVE THIS!
Then my work here is done :)
You have a gift of taking concepts and breaking the theory down to it's most basic elements. Very easy to grasp! And you add humour which is awesome!
Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear my approach works for you. Thank you for your support!
You have a gift for teaching! I would have tried harder in math class if the curriculum actually showed examples of everyday use instead of calculating the time two trains will pass each other heading opposite directions. Your sewing channel is the only one that breaks patterns down like this!
Thanks so much. I'm glad to hear my approach resonates with you. Also, when will the trails pass?! ... haha.
Toddlers absolutely understand this, the best sewing tutorial ever.❤❤❤
I'm glad to hear I could simplify it to make it understandable.
Best sewing video. You have a way of explaining “how’s” and the “why’s”
I'm glad to hear it.
Wow, you explain this so plainly and simply that anyone can understand the concept. I wish I had you to teach me over 60 years ago, when I was first learning to sew.
Oh wonderful, I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant, I could watch your channel and never sew again, just a pleasure to watch and listen to.
you are kind, thank you!
me too!!!!...one thing to watch...another thing to do it
Never stop doing what your doing. You’re a blessing 🤍
Thank you for the support and motivation.
You’re a life changer Mr Cornelius Quiring. Thank you 💪🏽
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Finally!!! A break-through in my understanding about pants, & it's all due to you.
I'm glad to hear it.
as im finishing my collection for my masters degree in fashion, i love how there's always knowledge and more to learn, the altering part of the video so nicely explained and logical (way better than what i had in 5 years in school), thank you

Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear my approach works for you. You got this.
This is what I need. Visuals with funny examples. That’s how I’ve always learnt or memorized things growing up.
Nice, I'm glad to hear it.
this video really expands on what ive known about drafting pants to a whole 'nother level
oh nice, I'm glad to hear it.
Are you very good at teaching ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. 🙏🏻
I’ve been a tailor for years and this was great to see explained for the layman ❤🙏thank you
Oh nice, thank you for the thumbs up.

@@CorneliusQuiring Do you by chance have a place where people can share what they have made with what they have learned from you?

Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Holy moly this is the video i am trying to find about jeans drafting explanation. Thankss
Oh nice, I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.
As many others have pointed outyour videos are incredibly helpful, i cant wait to see a video in this style about the basic top/shirt block
I'm glad to hear it. There's one coming up :)
Thank you so much for this REALLY simple but very GOOD explanation of pattern drafting. You have made this with a shirt, too, if I remember correct. This helps to understand, what we are doing, when we work with patterns, make alterrations or make the pattern totally ourselfs.
Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear my approach works for you. I plan to do a full length video about this as well for tops.

Best description I've seen on pants...thank you!
I’m learning to sew and this was so helpful. I’ve been having a hard time visualizing how pants are put together. This was amazing. Thank you
I'm glad to hear it. May you make plenty in your future.
You’re ADORABLE! And Oh So

You are wonderful. My son is interested in making men's garments and I'm sending him to your classes
I'm glad to hear it and I hope he learns plenty. Thank you. 🙏🏻

I'm happy to hear it.
Hi Cornelius. On your video at time spot 12:10. Are you talking about lowering the crotch if it is to high up ??❤
Yes, that is it exactly.
Clear explanation - are the front and back panels the same size or is the back wider than the front? at 2:30 when they're cut "right down the middle"?
Yes, the back tends to be a little bit larger.
I have a long back crotch length and a curvy butt so I always have to extend the crotch points out a couple inches on the back piece.
Simply fantastic!
Now I am a novice. But I am wondering about the waist band.
Sewing the inward curves at the waist line, produces a sort of V look and if you add a straight waist band, it pulls down the sides and now cause the pants to be ill fitting with bunching of the fabric.
What is the best way to cut and apply a waist band?
Thinking about your course and trying to find the time. Thanks.
I personally like to do a curved waist as my waist tapers in. If I had a blockier build, I would do a straight waistband. I'm glad to hear you're considering my courses.
Hi! Sir can u plz tell why pant inseam pulled upward
Fantastic! Thank you!
🤠🙏🏻
Very nicely explained. Thank you. Though... I don't see how do you divide that curve between the legs? Do you divide it in half, or you make it 1/3 in front and 2/3 in the back? Or could you make it even 2/3 in front and 1/3 in the back? Is it arbitrary?
It's really up to you in terms of how much you want to divide it, I find.
Just sub’d ❤the content 👍

No shade given to all the female seamstress that II’ve learned so much from as a beginner but a big shout out to the males that I’ve learned so some much from.
