I think of cotton velveteen as unwaled corduroy and wear it as i would wear corduroy .
That's a pretty good comparison!
I had some deep purple no wale corduroy Gloria Vanderbilt jeans more than 40 years ago. I had a satin-y blouse that really made them look fancy. I love your new Largo pants!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Whitney for velvet tips. Also loving that t-shirt fabric!
Thank you! I have a sew the look video for the top with links to the fabric! It's here: ruclips.net/video/5PrpGAMRdRA/видео.htmlsi=JjpYSdG3_2X24apf
THe perfect pattern! and wow yours look gorgeous :) Love the sewing tips for velvet. Thanks for the velvet tips, I am guessing it would be similar to corduroy. This helps. And I bet lots of us would love a sew along :)
Thank you so much!
I had sewed a different pattern in cordoroy and yes, the tips definitely apply to cordoroy as well as velvet. I'm excited to add this one to my pattern stash, because the one that I had used wasn't nearly as well drafted / instructed and I made a TON of mistakes. It was a great learning experience for sure, but I am excited to make the pants again eventually with this pattern.
Beautiful pants!!! Rich chocolate is so usable ❤
Thank you so much!
Those pants are fantastic. That’s a classic trouser pattern right there. I love the shape of the legs. I just might have to get this pattern…
It's a pretty great pattern!
Those pants look amazing! The unexpected fabric choice makes them stand out.
Thank you so much!
Thank you, Whitney, for sharing your tips for sewing with velvet. The pants look lovely.
You are so welcome!!
Great pattern. Velveteen fabric provides a cozy look. Whitney: The chocolate brown is perfect for this Fall and Winter. Fall is here, y'all. (Excuse me, now, while I am digging out some dark lavender velveteen from my stash.)
Oh that is going to be so pretty!
Dark lavender? You just spoke to my soul!!
The pants are lovely in the velvet. Thank you gor your tips. I LOVE the fabric the top you are wearing is made up in.
Thanks so much!
Those pants are beautiful! I think I'm gonna have to give them a try! The tips on velvet are appreciated, too!
Glad you like them!
Excellent! Hope you will do a sew along for these in that fabric.
❤️❤️❤️
Love these! I almost bought a pair of cargo pants but luckily I didn’t . These re definitely on my “to sew” list! Thanks so much for showing us this pattern.
I hope you love them!
Oh wow these are beautiful!! I am never been a cargo pants person but these are stunning! They look so good on you. Saving this video and thank you for the tips. I think a black pair or a wine colored pair would be awesome in the winter. (Brown is a no-no in my color palette.) Awesome video, Whitney! 💕
Thank you so much!
Great pant pattern, your pants turned out great!
Thank you!
Gorgeous pants! Great fit.
Thank you!
They look great on you!
Thank you so much!
Love these, can't wait to make them up. I never would have thought of making them out of cotton velveteen...WOW Thanks for all the great tips.
You are welcome!
They look lovely on you they are going to be great for winter. Your nail polish matched beautifully.
Oh thank you!
I really like them!
Thank you so much!
Amazing tips on sewing with velvet, I knew a few, and learned even more. And your cargo pants look awesome on you. Love that top with thoes pant to, so fall- is h 🍁🍂
Thanks so much!
When I saw that the new pattern was cargo pants, I thought “no, don’t need that” but after seeing yours and that I can leave off the “cargo” parts and have a great pair of trousers, I decided I did need this pattern!
it's a good one!
I had no idea that I wanted a pair of velveteen cargo pants but it turns out I not only want them-I need them! Your pants look terrific!
Thank you so much! You should definitely give them a try
Oh my goodness, I love these! And in velveteen no less! Just beautiful Whitney! Thank you for the great tips which also would work for corduroy or any other fabric with a nap.
Absolute the same thing for corduroy! Thank you!
I loved a faced waist. It is so easy to make the ants then make the waist fit perfectly. And you can let out the tucks if you gain weight.
Yes!
Those pants look great on you. Excellent tips.
Thank you so much!
They are lovely 🥰
❤️❤️❤️
That is a great pattern! And that dark chocolate brown colour is a beautiful colour; love the velveteen! I'm looking forward to see how you're going to style it this autumn and winter season.
Thank you! I have lots of ideas of ways to wear them when the temperature drops a bit.
Your new pants look fantastic on you., they fit you so well. You should make a pair in denim or a fun patterned canvas. Thank you for the tips!
Great idea!!
Beautiful velvet pants. I was thinking outdoor pants with a wind block fabric. Thanks for the additional tips on napped fabrics, I am a fan of corduroy during the fall and winter. Your pants will be perfect with your handmade sweaters or flannel shirt.
Absolutely!
Fab pants :D love your version.
I saw the LN newsletter today, and I had to buy this pattern :D
I am thinking of using cotton twill for my first version :D
Sounds great!
So excited about these! Thanks for the video… hoping with what I learned from your fitting class I can get a great pair for me and my daughters🤞
Give them a try! I think you will love them!
The velveteen is gorgeous. Already bought and downloaded the pattern. Currently working on the Uplands for my daughter and can’t wait to try these. My daughter is very hard to fit and to date I’ve not had very good luck with LN pants on her, but I learn a little more each time I try. So maybe eventually I’ll be able to fit her without needing to spend weeks on pattern tweaks.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
What beautiful pants! And great tips for sewing with velvet! Thank you so much, Whitney. I'm wondering, could a stretch woven, something with just a little bit of give to it, be used for these pants?
Yes it could--just keep in mind the amount of stretch your fabric has because they could "grow"
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you for the advice!
Oh Whitney, the cargo pants are a great fit on you.
The perks of making clothes to fit!
Thanks so much for the tips! I'm buying the pattern tonight & will re-watch your video before I start. I love, love your top - is there a pattern for it?
Thank you! That's the Style Arc Posie Knit top. I have a video for it here: ruclips.net/video/5PrpGAMRdRA/видео.htmlsi=JjpYSdG3_2X24apf
So cute on you!
Thank you!!
Working with synthetic shiny velvet and after much cussing and 2 pockets and a seam later I remembered my walking foot at the back of drawer. Great place for it 😂. I have a bernina and it does let me get away with murder ❤
Those Berninas are pretty great machines. But a walking foot is handy to have
Thanks! I have some grey cotton velveteen (mom bought it and then didn’t use it). I’m going to make McCalls m5530, probably view b because the velvet bow may be a bit much for me. I will get a pretty button off Etsy, they usually have some off old designer coats.
That sounds beautiful!
Yours looks amazing!!
Thank you so much!
The Itch to Stitch Upland trouser pattern looks almost identical in the line drawings except for the front pocketing. It would be easy to hack the patch pockets onto an Uplands cut. Whitney, as a big Uplands booster before Largo Cargo came along, could you perhaps tell us whether the fit and instructions of the two patterns are different?
You could definitely hack the Uplands to be something similar. I would say the two pants are very similar in fit and construction!
Great tips! Thank you. I bought the pattern after watching this. Did you preshrink your velveteen?
Yes I prewash everything before I sew. My washing machine gets used every day!
@@TomKatStitchery do you put velveteen in the dryer?
@@claudiaw56 yep!
You are too much of a good influence on me! lol I've bought the pattern but I think I would omit the hammer strap. I love that these are pretty straight through the hip to hem. Would you use cotton velveteen for the blazer/jackets that are all the rage this fall?
I think you could omit the hammer strap, side pockets, and change back pockets to welt pockets and you would have a really nice pair of regular trousers as well with this pattern. I really love the fit on these! You could ABSOLUTELY use the cotton velveteen for a lovely blazer/jacket for the fall. I actually bought this fabric with that in mind, but am really glad I used it for these pants!
Love the pants! Just wanted to let you know that your link is broken. I can get to the pants by searching, but wanted to make sure you get your affiliate credit!
Thanks for the heads up! We got it fixed.
Hey Whitney, how many hours did it take you to make these? They are beautiful on you. What kind of shoes were you wearing in your video? They looked great with the pants.
Thank you! I'm a fast sewer, but these took me 2-3 hours to sew up - a little more for cutting out and interfacing. The shoes are some calf hair boots from J.Crew that I bought second hand recently! They are hardly worn!
Those look great Whitney and great on you! I do have a question on fit though. On the Love Notions site many of models seem to have bunching in the front crotch area. Yours don't seem to have that or is it just dark brown disguises it. What adjustment do think should've been made to fix it? Or is it the design of the pattern? Thanks.
With the dark color, how can you see the fit…
I can’t tell on Whitney’s. I think the dark color disguises it. But the Love Notions web site shows a lot of examples with pulling &/or bagginess right in the front crotch area.
I've got the fit pretty good on this pair and had to minimal tweaking (the full belly piece was a game changer for me). Usually the bunching in the crotch is a rise issue, either too long or too short. However, it could also be a combination of a few things. The models could have also just picked a wrong size. The pattern went through a couple of iterations before the final version. I know she added a bit more ease in through the hips for the final and that could play a part in the fit of the crotch as well. Fabric can also play a part. Thinner fabrics will show more creases.
@TomKatStitchery Thank you Whitney! I have a long rise, so maybe these are the pants for me!
Whitney - which pants pattern do you think could be made into those narrower legged trousers you suggested? this new Largo Cargo or the Upland? thx, linda
You could narrow the leg on either of these pattern, pretty easily!
Hi, Whitney. Thank you for the tips! I just wanted to let you know your affiliate link here is not working; just want you to get credit for any sales you generate.
Got it fixed--thanks!
Thank you for the tips. Years ago I ruined a beautiful velveteen. That was before utube!
Oh no! Glad I could help!
Would these tips also apply to corduroy? Especially the pressing tip.
Absolutely!
Your affliate link isn't working!
It's fixed now!
Will you have a sew along with the Largo Cargo?
Probably no sew along with this one, but enjoy the video about the Largo Cargo that aired in Fall 23 ruclips.net/video/laQa6JdWqqs/видео.htmlfeature=shared
🇨🇦😃
❤️❤️❤️
Are you left handed? I see your hammer loop is on the left. 😉
Like these pants will ever encounter a hammer.....😂😂
