For years, I was sewing “in the dark.” A size 12-14 pattern fit me well simply adjusting the hip by 1-2 inches. That was years ago. Now, I’m old and forget the nice sewing days. I totally stopped sewing for me because I had no idea how to fit a pattern. Then I found you! Thank God! I’m sewing for myself once more and fitting isn’t scary any more! Thank you, thank you!
I made these pants out of a drapey polyester sheet I got at a thrift shop, as a test garment. They turned out beautifully! Now I’ll try them in “real” fabric. But I might wear the sheet pants at home in the summer, ha ha!
Can't wait for the waistband. I really want lots of palzzo pants for the summer to keep cool. Being plus sized gets frustrating finding the perfect fit.
I love these. They look amazing both ways but that Tshirt you made a while back goes perfectly with the pants. I know it wasn't but it looks like it was made for the pants.
Love these pants. I have a great piece of material that is very summery. I want two make these pants. I plan on pairing them with a tee with parts of the pants material appliqued around the neck. Can't wait to start.
My town only has a Hobby Lobby, it's 45 minutes to the nearest Joanne's, and I have a tank top out of that fabric. I've gotten compliments on that fabric by local plant lovers like me.
Hello Alisa 😊. They are beautiful. 👌🏼. Would you consider a video on how to self draft a very simple swimsuit? It would be so cool to be able to create a perfect fitting, handmade swimsuit you designed yourself.
Oh that was lovely. I’ve been making my own trousers for decades, but I learned so many new little tricks today. Thank you for that. Beautiful fabric and stunning pattern make these wide leg pants so gorgeous. They look equally stylish with the formal white shirt and with the t shirt. Amazing. Your channel is such a treat for us sewing friends ❤❤❤
Love, love ❤️ love your videos. I have always dabbled in some type of drafting my own as I sewed. You are just so refreshing -all about the craft, simple to understand and fun. Keep up the great work.😁
Thank you so much for this video! I discovered palazzo pants last summer and spent almost a year scouring RUclips for a tutorial to make my own. The videos I found seemed so over-complicated for such a simple style. I had to revisit your basic pant pattern tutorial, but I was determined to make these pants and I was able to discover where I needed to make adjustments to my measurements to make the basic pant pattern actually work. (My first couple of attempts weren't very successful previously, so I gave up.) I love the fact that your waistband is stretchy and comfy, because the other videos I watched involved a fitted waist with buttons and zippers and there was no way I was going to give up the comfort of this style by restricting my waist! So now, I'm confidently crafting palazzo pants and will be able to use the basic pant pattern for future styles. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!
Love this video! I can’t wait to make some too. I like that you did them with French seams. Your top and sweater coordinates perfectly with your new pants too!!!
I always adore your videos, they inspire me so much. I loved this one...its exactly what I live in all summer. And the music you chose was great...so much fun!!!❤
Oh Alisa … these pants are beautiful and so stylish; perfect for my holiday to Greece. When I see how expensive these are in the shops and knowing I have to chop off most of the length as only 4ft 11, I can now make my own! You are a true inspiration and thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all.
Thanks a lot Alisa 🙏 I made my first palazzo pant from scratch following your tutorial exactly the same way. It looks FANTASTIC. Love the fit, so perfect ♥️
So cute, and I love the waistband. I can't wait to watch your video on how you did that! Thank you, I always learn something new when I watch your videos!
I just wanted to say that making relatively short videos and referencing more in-depth videos you've done in the past for the same concepts is really smart. I've been sewing a long time, and I don't need detailed steps, I find a lot of sewing videos too detailed/slow and a few I find myself thinking "wait, what did they do? How did that work?" F Also, for the French seamed pockets, the way you did them looks so much simpler than how I was taught. I've been wanting to make some wool trousers with French seamed pockets, but I've been fretting over the idea of messing up one of the dozen or so steps. (They are drop front, so they do need to be a bit more complicated, but not by that much.)
Annie, hello there! I don't... unless it is fabric that really comes undone, like boucle-like, loosely woven linen, and I usually do it with silk... everything else I just wash, I usually only loose a tiny bit at the raw edges, but If I am short on fabric- oh yes, I will be getting that raw edge done, so I don't lose anymore fabric :)
Gigi, hello there and welcome and thank you for joining ! I saw that you already watched the Early Access video and you mentioned you are working on a gathered skirt, so here's the video on the gathered skirt with exposed elastic for Members Only - ruclips.net/video/PuJzI51E7YE/видео.html
I have been wanting to try a pair of palazzo pants. They look so comfortable. However, all the palazzo pants I see around here are made out of polyester (plastic). Polyester is hot; but, it usually drapes well. I hate polyester. Your new palazzo pants look like they were made from woven, cotton fabric. Are they made from woven, cotton fabric? They don't look stiff or uncomfortable. They are perfect; they look great on you. Thank you for this video.
What a delightful young lady you are! Q: My ready wear Palazzos apparently had the waist area folded down about an inch (kind of like creating a hem) and sewn into the waist line. They are super functional (the fabric has great stretch). Would like to know your thoughts on this in comparison to adding a separate waist band. Thanks!

Just a normal cycle, like I would wash the garment after if it all sewn.... But, on really brittle fabrics, like some boucles or similar - I serger the edge so that way it does not fray too much. But I barely ever do that on cotton...I hope this helps.
Very beautiful but I would have liked to see them all the way to the bottom to see how they drape. Could you post a picture somewhere and write in the link please ? My mother loves palazzo pants but she is plus size and I am wondering if I could make them for her and how they would fall on her. Also, do you have a video on flat felled seams ? Thank you for your simple videos.
In a few days, if I have a chance -I will take a full length picture, but I promise - it looks exactly the same as in the video. For the drape you have to think about the fabric, if you look at the other pair of pants and the beginning of the video, the ones I made in viscose, you see the drape there is different, so it really depends on the fabric. If not sure - make a text palazzo pants for your Mom and see how it fits, that way you know for sure and not wasting fabric and you can make adjustments instead of trying to figure out how to fix it with the fabric already cut out :)
I would also like to see the full length of the pants all the way to the ground. And I really like the way you made the waistband. It’s perfect for palazzo pants!

The palazzo looks lovely.. thanks for sharing the tutorial 😊
I agree gorgeous pants, love your fabric choice ❤❤❤as always you are an amazing instructor ❤❤❤so good to see you 🥰have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
Interesting how the back pocket is put together. Very neat and beautiful to look at. I will definitely try that out. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Astrid :) it does 2 things at once for me - adds a second layer, a little extra thickness to the pocket and conceals all of the raw edges
Love, love ❤️ love your videos. I have always dabbled in some type of drafting my own as I sewed. You are just so refreshing -all about the craft, simple to understand and fun. Keep up the great work.😁
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your channel. I'm getting back into sewing after a long break and your videos have been a great help.

Hello, from Tahiti, love love the fabric, the way you sew. It will really look good with a jacquet with the same material ❤
Fantastic looking pants & you carry off that print beautifully! If I were a few years younger, I'd be tempted to buy that fabric for pants, too!
Looks awesome
Thank you! Love this.
I'm so happy to be back to pattern making and sewing clothes!! Thank you.
PS: I hope you will soon share how to make patterns for babies and kids.
You are so talented!
Very cute pants. Thanks for the nice tutorial.
I have wanted to make a pair of these pants! Thank you so much. I already have the fabric too.
You are amazing! I love your palazzo pants, and will definitely tackle this project! Thank you!
I really like the way you teach ❤️
Always enjoy your videos. I'm doing inseam pockets , French seam, right now. I'm getting better.
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you, Ratchel!
Gorgeous!!
Great video. Thanks
I love this fabric and pants. When you pre-wash new fabric so you zigzag or serge it so it doesn't fray?

It is truely a beautiful pair of pants. I still battle with my pattern😂😂

Please please please make some pants with that sequin material! OMG that was SO CUTE!!!
Ha ha, those would be some REALLY sparkly pants :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I bet your kiddo would enjoy a pair.
Why do you put one leg into the other to sew? I sew mine without doing this , curious to know why.❤
How do you pre wash? I always get a big bundle of fabric.
Just a normal cycle, like I would wash the garment after if it all sewn.... But, on really brittle fabrics, like some boucles or similar - I serger the edge so that way it does not fray too much. But I barely ever do that on cotton...I hope this helps.
I’m curious - why did you see the legs with French seams but switched to a flat felled seam for the crotch? Is there an advantage I’m not aware of?
I thought there was a reply - I have the same question! 😊
Flat felled seam is flat when finished, so no seam allowance flopping around + durable for crotch - that's all :)
? comfort

My mother loves palazzo pants but she is plus size and I am wondering if I could make them for her and how they would fall on her. Also, do you have a video on flat felled seams ?

All links are in the description of the video. at 13:58 you see 90% of my leg length, that's how they drape :)

For the drape you have to think about the fabric, if you look at the other pair of pants and the beginning of the video, the ones I made in viscose, you see the drape there is different, so it really depends on the fabric.

How much cloth is required to make a plazzo pant
Make a pant pattern first and then calculate how much fabric do you need for your style and your size :)
🥰👍
Español PLEASE😢
You’ve mentioned that “I added a little bit of ease.” What does this means ? 😅😅
Hello there :) you can go to my detailed drafting tutorials to understand what is ease in patter drafting and why it is needed and different types of ease that exist, or your can Google the definition of "ease" in sewing for a quick fix :)
Saw hobby lobby and thought to myself, “I’m sure I can find instructions for loose pants elsewhere.”
Please, no Hobby Lobby.
You gotta use what’s available, and not everyone hates Hobby Lobby.
