So nicely done to lay out some guidelines to help come up with informed decisions on picking just the right silhouette! Thanks for the work that you've put into this video!!
Hello. Thanks for the review. I used your coupon code and bought the pattern today. I appreciate you saying "beginner friendly" for this knit phobic sewer. Your hair color is very flattering in this video. It is time for you to sew your "weightloss wardrobe". Congratulations on your work to improve your health.

Great video Kim. My Allegro shorts are the best shorts pattern I’ve ever made. Have Sabrina Slims but haven’t made them. I’ve been crushing hard on Glissando ever since they came out. Sure wish LN would make a zip front piece to trade for button front. Your pants fitting videos are wonderful. Thank you!!!❤️🌵
Thanks, Kim, not sure how I missed this post, but it is so helpful on making pant choices. I usually sew the Ginger Jeans over and over as they fit me so well, but I’m branching out after seeing the comparisons here. Thanks, again!💕
The Glissando's remind me of 40's style pants just cropped! Being pear shaped I hate extra bulk at the hip and having the wide hem helps balance the bottom in my opinion.
I just downloaded this pattern. I love the Sabrina. Cigarette pants are my very favorite and I can’t wait to sew these. Thank you so much for a informative video.
I so much love how informed this video is. I'm starting over in my clothes making journey. Learned from Mom many years ago, an now I feel I have no reason not to continue any longer, even with pants! Pants have always been so unflattering on.me but one of these patterns I feel will work even for me. Thank you
Thank you for watching! Pants can be scary but you got this! You just need to find the right pattern and make little tweaks to fit you the way you desire. The Duet Trousers and Sabrina Slims come with a fitting workbook so I think those are good choices to start with! ~K
Such a helpful video Kim, thank you! I've made the Sabrina's in a Ponte and I'm having alot of trouble with interpreting wrinkles. I've got the Duet pattern printed and I'm hoping to have better luck with those. Fingers crossed!
Thank you for this video. I'm going back to work after my Christmas holidays and I need some smart, cotton/woven trousers (middle of a hot, sticky summer here in Brisbane Australia).
Hi Kim, hope you , your family, & the move are All doing well. When you start video taping again would you "pair" tops with the Love Notion pants patterns? Although I have been sewing for years all of the available fabric types & plethora of patterns are overwhelming ( particularly so few brick and mother stores and so many on line stores! Thank you. Prayers!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You wouldn't believe the hassles that I've been going through, trying to figure out what & which pair, style, look I want to go for. Oh blow it.... I'll get the lot! LOL Thank you for the great video. 👏👏👏👏😍❤️️😁❤️️😘🇦🇺
Thank you for a very helpful review. I was looking to buy my first Lovenotions pattern, Glissando (the full tummy adjustment calls to me), but noticed that the pattern doesn't give leg length or the height they are designed for. Or am I missing that somewhere? Thank you
I love all of the garments that you sew! Thank younfor all of the great ideas and tips. I have a question tho. I printed up the pattern for Sabrina Slims and there was only one page in the directions on fitting. Where did you find the pants fitting guide?
It's a separate file. If you can't find it where you have the pattern saved, it is in your account on the Love Notions Website. So you can grab it there anytime! 🙂 ~K
Are you thinking of the Glissando pants? Karina over at Lifting Pins and Needles changed her button fly to a zipper fly over on her channel: ruclips.net/video/U2gTen5e77I/видео.html
I respectfully disagree with the idea that making a muslin that one cannot wear is a waste. It is an important part of the learning and fitting process. It allows me the freedom to make the alterations I need and as a beginner I know that there will be fit issues. I don't want he added pressure of sewing a wearable muslin. Nothing we do when learning to sew should be thought of as wasted. It is all part of the process.
Yes I get your point as well. This is the amazing thing about sewing.. some people prefer to make muslins and others not and that's totally fine. For me personally, I have to make a muslin for any pant but for tops I tend to skip muslins to reduce cost because fabric isn't cheap where I live. ~K
When you first talked about wrinkles, I thought you were going to tell how to determine if your material wrinkles. I learned this ages ago. Before buying the fabric, grab a handful, gather it into your hand, and squeeze hard for about a minute. Let go, and check to see how many wrinkles there are.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this information. You explained these patterns, fit and fabric suggestions extremely well!
So glad it was helpful! ~K

Thank you so much for watching! Karina over at Lifting Pins and Needles traded the Glissando button fly for a zipper fly! You should check it out! ~K
Yes such good suggestions
Thanks so much Joey! ~K

So great to hear you feel inspired to branch out Nancy! Happy Sewing! ~K
I love your videos! They’re so inspirational and we’re built alike. Thank you for all the work you do!!
You are so welcome! ~K
The Glissando's remind me of 40's style pants just cropped! Being pear shaped I hate extra bulk at the hip and having the wide hem helps balance the bottom in my opinion.
Yes the shape of the Glissandos is super flattering on many body types! So glad to hear you like them too! 🙂 ~K

Why does it take me ALL BLOOMIN DAY to find a pant pattern for me??? Because I didn’t look here first. Smile. Thanks for your help.
Haha! Hope you saw something you like Ann! ~K
Great info thanks very much. Cheers Mary
Thank you for watching! ~K
Your videos are so helpful! I’ve been wondering about the differences in the pants from someone who has made them.
Yay! So happy this video was helpful! ~K
Does anyone know where to find power mesh? Thank you for this video.
I found it at the fabric snob and also at discovery fabrics
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You wouldn't believe the hassles that I've been going through, trying to figure out what & which pair, style, look I want to go for. Oh blow it.... I'll get the lot! LOL Thank you for the great video. 👏👏👏👏😍❤️️😁❤️️😘🇦🇺
Thank you! So happy this video was helpful! Happy Sewing! ~K
What a great video Kim, I made notes! I own all but the Summer Caye, and I am grabbing that now!
So happy you found this video helpful! Happy Sewing! ~K
Looking for capris in jegging fabric. Would the Resolution pants/leggings be good for adapting to capris? Thanks.
I think so! I have also used Sabrinas for capri leggings!
Thank you for a very helpful review. I was looking to buy my first Lovenotions pattern, Glissando (the full tummy adjustment calls to me), but noticed that the pattern doesn't give leg length or the height they are designed for. Or am I missing that somewhere? Thank you
You are so welcome! Love Notions Patterns are drafted for a height of 5'5" and the inseam lengths are listed in the pattern. ~K
I love all of the garments that you sew! Thank younfor all of the great ideas and tips. I have a question tho. I printed up the pattern for Sabrina Slims and there was only one page in the directions on fitting. Where did you find the pants fitting guide?

Thanks a bunch!
Awesome video, Kim! Thanks. I now have all the pants patterns. Just need to find some fabric and get busy!
Sounds great! 🙂 ~K
Where do I get the Sebring pattern?
Here you go: www.lovenotions.com/product/sabrina-slims ~K
Great video Kim. May I use bengaline for Sabrina?
Sabrina has negative ease so only if it has stretch. ~K
How hard would it be to turn a button fly to a zip?
Are you thinking of the Glissando pants? Karina over at Lifting Pins and Needles changed her button fly to a zipper fly over on her channel: ruclips.net/video/U2gTen5e77I/видео.html
Have you heard of a Venn Diagram? It would be easier to use to show which are woven, which are knit, and which are both.
thats a nice idea - always good to have a visual :)

That's a cool method! Thanks for sharing Kathy! ~K
