Wow! It’s so gratifying to see your finished product. I’m impressed you did it all on the overlocker. I want to go try to make these, thanks for the inspiration! Now I know what to make with all the quilting cotton I have been accumulating. 😊
I made a drawstring patchwork skirt a few months ago with the raw edges exposed. It's an idea for your pants to give them texture. Just a thought. I like using a drawstring instead of elastic because it's very forgiving of weight fluctuations. I learned these from Heidi at Rain Country. She's also very inspiring. 😊
I have tons of scrap fabric left over from making masks during the pandemic so I thought I’d look for a patchwork pants tutorial and found yours. Coincidentally, I just bought the same pattern from Etsy last night. I guess I was meant to make these pants! Thanks for the great tutorial because I thought I might be nuts for thinking of this. ❤😊
Brilliant, thank you, love these style trousers but they're quite expensive to buy so looking forward to using up some fabric I've got stashed 😊 so many designs can be made from the concept 😊
How will you prevent the fabric from twisting and pulling after washing? The only way of preventing that is to be sure to cut along the straight of grain.
This really turned out great 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍..... Consulting!!!! I have a question, as this is woven fabric, will it not fall apart if you only use the overlock machine? I've been told that you have to use the sewing machine first and then overlock the edges (woven fabric). and that you only can use knit fabric without the sewing machine first....? 🤔🤔 I once made a patchwork dress with the overlocker only and it came all apart but maybe I did something wrong.... Maybe my tension was off 🤔🤔🤔.
I’m not sure how to ask this question correctly, but how come you can trim down to the pattern without your stitches coming out? I don’t know much abt sewing, sry if it’s a silly question. Lovely video!
Serging doesn't lock the ends anyway, but as long as you are going to sew the cut edges into another seam (e.g. when sewing the front and back pieces together) they'll be secured. If you serge a seam that you won't be going over again then you have to secure the tail of your serging thread. You can put it through a large darning needle and pull it into the seam a bit before trimming, or sometimes I just pop it into my regular sewing machine and just go over the ends to secure it.

I've realized that piecing together fabric scraps is a good enough reason to buy an overlocker. Love how quick it is.
This is the advice I need 😊😊😊
My grandma has an overlooked it's mostly motivation to, earn to drive
Wow those pants turned out great. You made them so fast. You made it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks so much 😊
Kim, love your ‘can-do’ attitude!

That’s a lovely idea 😍 and a drawstring would be great too, thanks!
The cutest!

This is wonderful

Did you make the small iron board yourself, if so, can I ask how? And love the pants, so colourful ❤
Love these! Inspired me to make a pair too 😊
Thank you! 🥰
I love this video. What a smart idea. I made a jacket using an old tattered quilt. It came out beautiful.
Wow! Very beautiful work!
Thank you!
Really nice trousers, made with so much care!
Thank you ☺️
Love the trousers thank you for the video
Thank you!
I so love these and wish I had a serger!
Me too...but we could use zig zag on sewing machine I think.
Overlocker on a sewing machine
Great 👍 job
It's fantastic 👏 ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️

Well done and lots of very useful information!
Thank you ☺️
Great video… just wondering if you had any info on how you did the rolled hem on the overlocker.
Love the clours and the idea.
Not got an overlocker love how quick it is x
Thank you Shirley ❤️
amazing work 😍
This was so helpful!
Thank you so much for this
Hi Kimberley - this is fantastic thank you! I just wanted to ask what sort of overlocker you have and would you recommend it?
i obsess now !
My sewings open up when I try to cut the parts for my pants. How does I prevent this?
Back stitch where you’ll cut! It’ll “lock in” your stitches
This really turned out great 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍..... Consulting!!!!
I have a question, as this is woven fabric, will it not fall apart if you only use the overlock machine? I've been told that you have to use the sewing machine first and then overlock the edges (woven fabric). and that you only can use knit fabric without the sewing machine first....? 🤔🤔

Oh good question. Maybe pre-washing the fabric helps a bit with this. I’ll have to keep that in mind when I make mine.

Whats the name for that type of pants?
