This was a very interesting sewalong, I haven’t seen a pair of pants put together in quite this way before. You did a lovely job of explaining as you went along and your sewing is beautifully neat, well done!
I could not have made my pair without your tutorial. The Closet Core blog has a demo with very highly patterned fabric so you cant see what it being done. Your video was so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
I've been so scared to tackle this pattern that I bought (and have been prevaricating on returning -- too intimated). This wonderful tutorial has made all the difference. Thank you so much! Brilliant work!
The Pietra pants is a fantastic pattern and the pockets are wonderful. Very easy to sew and fit. I’ve made 4 pairs (2 wide leg and 2 straight leg) so far and planning another one. Don’t let the unusual pockets throw you off. They are the easiest pockets you’ll ever make and are very flattering. I sewed size 16 & they look great on all sizes.
Izzy I loved watching and listening to you teach the Pietra Pants Pattern. It is one that is on my list so I was ultra interested. It was so relaxing watching and listening. I love your gentle style and you were very informative with every detail and hints and tips for sewing generally. Your neatness is definitely something to aim for. Can’t wait to make them.
A great sewalong, thankyou. I appreciate how you show in detail the tricky bits. The elastic insertion is particularly helpful for me. I will use this method for other waistbands , thanks again.
I just discovered your video when I had purchased this pattern. Your instruction was easy to follow and your voice is very soothing and relaxing. I like when you include the stitch length for specific steps. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm not sure I could have sewn my pair without your help, as the pattern instructions seem counterintuitive in a couple of places. Your showing me what I was expected to do made all the difference!
Excellent instruction details! I have just purchased and cut out the wide leg version. Can’t wait to see how the fit is on my muslin pair before purchasing some linen!
Excellent sew along. I love to wear crop trousers in the summer but have been reluctant to give them a go. This is so helpfully detailed that I might just take the plunge.
Wonderful video! I struggled through making the shorts version, by myself, just before this video came out! Poor timing on my part. There are very few other Pietra Pant videos available, and none that just got on with it like this one does. I'll make the full pant this time, with your wonderful guidance to fill in the parts that were more difficult for me the first time. Thank you again for doing a tutorial, even though the pattern has been available for a while. They are so beautiful and flattering and should be tried by many!
Thank you for this really helpful and interesting sew along. Even though they are meant to be cropped, I would prefer the length to be bit longer for me is that possible with this pattern please ? 😊💕
This is a great video - thank you. However, it would help enormously if your videos could use fabric with an identifiable right side/ wrong side. Sometimes it's difficult to see exactly which side you're working on. In other videos, the poster has marked the wrong side in chalk, where it isn't obvious. I appreciate it may not be the fabric you want to make the garment in - or the fabric Minerva want to sell - but if the object is education, please make it as easy as possible!
You are doing a great job there at Minerva with the content you provide us with!!! I really appreciate it!
Thanks so much 😊

They turned out great
Great video. I have the wide leg pattern cut out, ready to sew up. Couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you 😊
That's so lovely to hear!
Thank you for your excellent video.🌹
❤
Really enjoyed your sew along. I’ve recently made a toile of the Pietra shorts which came out fine. I’m looking forward to making the pants now
❤
Excellent instructions. Subscribe worth as well as share worthy.
Much appreciated!
Tnk you
Lovely video

😊💕
I am a newbie sewer . I’m not over-keen on cropped trousers so can i lengthen the pattern to make them long trousers as I lover the rest of the look?
Of course! The pattern does include a wide-leg full length option, or you could lengthen the tapered leg option.
The volume is little low on this video. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you for your feedback Andrea
Thanks for such an in-depth sew along, we lost you volume wise towards the end.
Thank you for the comment!

xXX👍👍👍
Can't hear you and have the volume all the way up...
Very nice but not for $32.57 US no way what I pay that. I don’t care how nice the pants are.
