Thank you! So clear and now I know what I need to do. I made a pair of trousers which fitted me well until I sat down! The waistband pulled a long way down. I had checked my crotch length but this still happened. I will take off the not finished waitband and add a little fabric to lengthen the crotch seam at the back but when I make another pair I think method number 5 will be the best for me. Thanks again.
Very helpful. I have just started, or should I say finished my first pair of short pants(exercise). They look amazing to me with panels of red and blue in a nice soft cotton stretch fabric. The only trouble was there was not quiet enough space at the back, but it was close. The idea was to make these to learn my form and generate a master pattern I could use for basis for other pant projects. I really liked how you explained those five ways make back crotch adjustments. Thank you.
Thank you so much for helping those of us who have larger buttocks. It took quite a while for me to recognize that large HIPS is not the same as large BUTTOCKS. Hence, the alteration/adjustment is very different. I love this video. As we go through Menopause, the fat distribution on the body changes overnight. It's as if an extra shelf has formed on the top of my butt. I have gotten lost with buying so many different size pants to accommodate this extra layer of fat.I will try this adjustment. Thanks so much for helping us fix this fitting problem. It has been so frustrating.
Thank you for this video Glenda. I have recently bought your pants kit and I'm excited about having it. I have made my blue print and my crotch length is to long, how can I reduce it?
@Ann Lawson - Please see page 9 in the Pants Kit instruction book, left hand column at the bottom - to tie an elastic around your waist and mark where you want the waist level to be.
I am such a pumpkin I would need all 4 🥴. I never find proper fit pants for myself in 15 years !!! I mostly wear horrible leggins now (and I don't feel pretty in them either ) so your video are like EUREKA to me. My new virtual piggy bank have your system as my new "I WANT AND WILL HAVE IT ".
I would love to try some of your patterns. I am 76 is that to old to start this. I use to make all my kid’s clothes and all my work clothes I worked back in the days where we had to wear dresses or 3 piece suits. But I have not sew any clothes in many years . Thank You
I have just finished a block draft of my pants, but I found I need the back and the front rise, as I am looking to lift the temporary waist band up to half hip. Very good tutorial TY.
Thank you Glenda. That explanation is very clear. I anticipated changing the straight of grain line but I was wondering if this alteration of the crotch line made any difference to the waist dart and if would need alteration as well. I am very happy to see that the Sure Fit Design has an Australian website because that makes it easier to purchase. Happy New Year.
Hi Jean, Yes, it's possible that the waist dart might need to be repositioned/re-angled to suit wherever your fullest buttock curve is. It would also depend on how much you split the CB open as to how much the angle of the dart tip would be affected. You would sew up a sample and simple re-position the dart if necessary. And though I'm a few days late, Happy New Year to you as well. And Martha Schuster is a tremendous resource for Sure-Fit Designs in Australia. We are so fortunate to have her there.
Little Miss Good Stitch, once again, you are such a gorgeous little thing, perfect figure. How envious so many of us are of you. God Bless and thank you so much for your sooooo helpful tutorials. So appreciated.
Hi @8:42 when you drew that line across the pattern it looked like you started it where the crotch forms a straight line to a curve. I could be wrong. I have just made my test pants. Which amazing fit a lot better than I was expecting. This was my first pants draft, but the one thing they don't do is give a high back waist. I will just have to redo the back panels and try your suggestions. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear you've had a good result of your first pants draft. Tweaking the height of the back is simple and could have been that you simply didn't measure your crotch length as long as it needed to be. Simply fix. If you have need of any assistance going forward, please connect with me via email rather than this RUclips platform as this is for more general comments. Email: info@surefitdesigns.com - thanks
Glenda, these are great tips! I am curious if you can tell me, for a mature figure that has a bit of extra padding along the high hip area of the buttocks, can you also slash & spread in that area (higher up on the back hip) for more room there too? Or is another process better to give extra room here? Thanks!
Hello, I am from Belgium, I dont know very well english, but, because you dont speak too speed and because your explanations are so clear , I am abble to understand ! Thank you so much for all ! You are genius !!!
Thank you so much. Just made a pair of capri’s and had to take them in 2 times, and the butt area that you were talking about is what I need. They were actually fine on my hips, but across that area in back, they were very snug, well and too long in the front crotch and too short in back crotch. This whole video was for me…lol. I’m 11” in front and need to be 17” in the back. I watch Joy B, and she’s great, but you go way more into to it. Actually her and I are just about the same size, measurements wise. I am flat and wide, where she is more rounded, thicker, but not as wide. Same on top, also. She’s helped me immensely, but I don’t think she has the crotch problems that I have..lolol. Thanks again Glenda. If I had you, when I was younger, I would have made lots of clothes by now. You’re the best.
Wow. I've been reading about this stuff, but she explains so perfectly. NOW I understand! I especially love how she describes how your butt can be full in different areas! Is it possible to add fabric to existing pants that fit everywhere but the butt? That would be my dream....
Thanks for your comments. And no...it's not particularly easy to add fabric to existing pants - lots of ripping and restitching. I don't do that...but with persistence and depending on the area, it can be done. It's so much easier to make pants (or any garment for that matter) from a pattern that fits like Sure-Fit Designs will.
@@glendasparling8896 Thanks so much for your response Glenda! That explains it! I have tried and tried! Now I know were to focus my energy. Thank you thank you thank you! You're the best!!!!
The back crotch would need to be extended first before the top of the jumpsuit is added. If you end up with a sloped waistline, then your jumpsuit would need a waist seam to accommodate for your angled waist line. If it's a one piece jumpsuit, if you lengthen the back, the front would automatically need to be lengthened too and then the front would end up being too long for your front crotch.
surefitdesigns it’s one piece, but could I just cut the back rise to nothing at the front or would I still have to make adjustments to the front if I did that?
@@AnitaMcB__ it might work work to cut to nothing at the front, but you'll still get extra length in the front especially at the side seams and you may/may not want this. Do a mock test first before fashion fabric.
I have been using the fifth method for about 30 years, because I am short with large buttocks. I first heard about that method in a book on tailoring. The book said that the tailor eyes off the client's backside from the side, and decides if Sir has a 'low seat' (flat bum) or a 'high seat' (protruding buttocks).
hi mam...IMPORTANT QUESTION... first of all thanks for your wonderful explaination... my QUESTION is... : crotch riser is in the arc line form... and we measure it in the arc length form only and not in straight line manner... so how to calculate it that how much this crotch point must be exactly below the belt line ie how to calculate VERTICAL DISTANCE from belt to the crotch center point in vertical straight form... as it is in the arc form... ???

Super interesting. You make it look so easy and fun. Thank you.
I pleasantly enjoyed and enjoyed the the above lesson very much 😍
I also still need one on adding a gusset at the back to increase the depth there.
Great video and very informative. Thank you!

Can I ask how do I calculate to get my front and back extension? Dan u explain for me PLEASE. Other people are confusing on RUclips. Thanks

When you are truing up the edges, I take it you don't need to re-adjust the darts?
this is great

hi I never cut pants before it kind a hard to cut
How can you extend the back if it’s a jumpsuit? Is it done in the same manner?

If you end up with a sloped waistline, then your jumpsuit would need a waist seam to accommodate for your angled waist line. If it's a one piece jumpsuit, if you lengthen the back, the front would automatically need to be lengthened too and then the front would end up being too long for your front crotch.

hi mam...IMPORTANT QUESTION...
first of all thanks for your wonderful explaination...
my QUESTION is... :
crotch riser is in the arc line form... and we measure it in the arc length form only and not in straight line manner...
so how to calculate it that how much this crotch point must be exactly below the belt line
ie how to calculate VERTICAL DISTANCE from belt to the crotch center point in vertical straight form... as it is in the arc form... ???
