Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate this method and explain the ratios. BTW, I love your outside noises, the thunder, the singing frog… it sounds like my house on a summer night. All you’re missing is an owl. So peaceful.
This was so helpful. Thank you! Did you make it?
Ease chart! So cool!
I just bought this pattern and I hadn't considered linen. That would be dreamy.
Just found you and love your channel. You are great at explaining every detail ❤️. Thank you
Oh, thank heavens for you!! I just sent for this system so this video is just what I needed. Loved how you explained how to figure out our not-quite-proportionate bodies!!!
@@kattmd8294 Glad it helps. Good luck with the system. I love their pattern styles.
So I'm working on a test garment for pants and want to install an invisible zipper in the back. Your video said to install the zipper then finish the sewing the back crotch curve. Do you have a tutorial for this? I ask because I'm just getting started on zippers. I watched your zipper tutorial from a few years ago; have you updated this method or is it still the same?
I'm prepping to sew this pattern and am so glad I found your tutorials. I just saved them in my playlist so I can follow along this weekend.
Let me know how it turns out…you can do it!!!
THANK YOU 🎉 I just subscribed, I love watching people use this system, since I learn by watching and hands on. I have had great results with this system, except for the waist. Usually I just leave out the darts. You explained so much, I'm watching this a second time.
Glad you got something out of it. I'll be doing more with the system on future videos. Thanks for watching :-)
Thank you for creating content.
Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Mama worked so hard fitting our clothes pants were her nemesis ! My Aunt came 2 times a year & Mama sewed her wardrobe, beautiful things and we had so much fun together. Mama would fit the pattern pieces my sister could cut & use sewing machine, Mama sewed mostly and I did the hand tacking, hemming and pressing. Fond memories too on bad weather days sewing and baking. Thank You ❤
Thanks… Remember to Always keep the light source behind the camera. 😊
Thanks, but the light is directly in center of my work station so it's a bit hard to but I'll definitely keep that in mind when filming. If there's anything you couldn't see clearly or need clarification on, please let me know. Thanks again for watching.
Your zipper visuals and instructions are perfection.
Glad it helped.
I think you could insert a diamond shaped crotch gusset, similar to men's trousers. You have put in a lot of work and your fabric is lovely. These pants are worth saving. Try a 6"x4" diamond and over lock the edges. Release the 4 seams at the crotch and fit in your gusset. This will give more fabric which will allow better movement and give you a nice skim over your lower hips. Good luck
Just found your channel, this is the best explanation of adjusting a pants pattern, still trying to decide if buying the Lutterloh system is for me, thank you
Glad you got something out of it. I do like the patterns that Lutterloh puts out...it's so much more modern then most of the big 4 patterns.

Thanks for watching.
Watched all 3 Lutterloh videos, wow what great instructions and details. Thank You Ma’am, very well done and appreciated truly. Subscribed and liked, your alterations help as I have a similar figure. 👏👏👏So Good
I'm so glad you found my channel and got some value out of it. I"ve been away for a while but coming back soon with more content. Thanks again for watching.
Excellent I look forward to your welcomed return. Very Best Wishes Always 🌷
Thank you so much for creating this! As a beginner sewist I cut out this pattern and the confusion immediately began. Ive learned ao much just from this initial video. Thank you for sharing your skill 💜
Glad it was helpful!
Welcome back and hope you are doing well!
I am! And thanks for tuning in 😊
Hi. I just purchased this system in. I'm not really sure. I understand the math. my bust is 47-48 inches, and my hips are for the widest part of my body, which is my waist area is 48-49 inches. I have the system about 20 years ago, but I didn't know how to use it, and I gave it away. I'm taking another stab at it. I didn't know you said go. It did not come with seam allowances or any allowances😅. I just could not figure out why my garments would not fit me😮. I will take any suggestions on how to use the system. Better! I'm going to watch your videos you have on the system and I also am going to start my Lutterloh journey on my UA-cam channel In post pictures on Instagram to encourage me in any other ladies who are around my size and want to use the system too. I look forward to watching your videos! Have a blessed day and happy sewing.
Thank you for much. And it is definitely worth giving it a shot. I just find it works perfectly if your portions "are proportioned" LOL But mine is not! But for dresses, shirts, etc. you use your bust measurement and for pants, shorts, etc. you would use your hip measurement (or the largest part between waist and thigh...so for some, this may be the upper hip for example). Usually fitting pants and such is the tricky part, so I use a standard size chart and check the measurements. So if my Hip is 48", the size chart will probably say my waist should be 38-40" (mine is actually 42"). So here if I used the hip measurement in Lutterloh the final pattern wouldn't fit my waist probably. So again using the standard size chart I see what a hip measurement for a person with a 42" waist would be (typically 50-52") and so using the Lutterloh system I would use a hip measurement of 50 or 52" (although my true hip size is 48"). It'll fit better and I can adjust the waist (if need be) and take in any extra ease along the side seam (if need be). Anyway, hope this helps...good luck!! Can't wait to see what you create.
Too much uuuummm.
Some of us just talk that way and it gets on people's nerves...I get it but it is what it is! Get through the uuuummmms and you'll probably learn something but if too much for your brain, thanks for checking it out for as long as you could 🙂 Happy Sewing to You.
Wow! What an amazing in depth analysis of this system and how to use it. Most detailed I have seen. You are an amazing sewist! Thank you.
You are super sweet...thank you!
Thank you for showing alternatives to the instructions. I am carefully following along with your videos. Please, keep up the good work.
Thank you, I'll be back soon with more videos. How did it turn out?
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. Many people will appreciate that.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and I'm glad you got something out of it. I plan to get back to the videos very soon.
Thank you for ALL of your in-depth descriptions on all the techniques in making these pants !!! I learned SO much that will help me on other sewing projects!!!
Thanks for watching. How did your pants turn out?
Been missing you!! More Sew alongs PLEASE 😊🙏🏽
Awww 🙂That warms my heart. I'll be back soon!
❤ thank you 🙏 thank you for these
Glad you like them!
I actually think these look quite cute in you ! I like them. 😊
Awww :-) thank you!
As a new sewer, this was beyond helpful after a long cry over this pattern. Thank you x1000000!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Please explain the 10-13” waist to hip ratio My natural waist is 33 (smallest part of my waist) so therefore I should add 10 to get my hip measurement which will be too big or that will give me a 3” ease?
This applies if your portions are NOT in proportion. Lutterloh makes its patterns with this assumption. But I like cake, sugary foods, the bad stuff - so mine are not in proportion (so I just came up with that method to help me (and it's been working pretty well). See my comment above for @Zeldasews (I go a bit in more detail about my process). Still have questions, let me know.
Too much movement
Got it...working on that. Thanks for "trying" to watch and the feedback.
Made the jumpsuit out of a flowy lyocell. The fit was a disaster! The look of the sleeves was huge! The legs were too wide! It was impossible to get on! I ended up throwing it in the garbage! The pattern says for a size 18 that the leg width is 18 inches. This is not correct!
Make sure you're using the finish garment size and knowing the amount of total ease you like in that type of garment for fit purposes. Don't give up...try it again. And play around with the fabric types. Good luck.
@@sewsosmart3825 I am short so I had to shorten the bodice. This made it impossible to get on.
Thank you, excellent instructions
Glad it was helpful!
Your instructions are impeccable. I just made this blouse and then found your tutorial! Perfect!
Glad it was helpful!
I was just looking at that finished garment measurement and that confused the heck out of me. glad you make the top i wanted
You can do it!
Finally, someone creating a pants tutorial that's SHAPED LIKE ME! like MOST REAL women. Kudos!!!! New to your channel so hopefully you have a FBA tutorial. if not please make one. THANKS!
Yeah I've been gone a while, but coming back soon!
Hands down, the only pants fitting video that makes the most sense. Thank you. And, I’m so glad you’re safe. How scary about the guy trying to break in. Credit to your dog for alerting you with the non stop barking lol😅
Yes, it was very scary but yeah that little chatty dog is a keeper LOL I'll be starting to put out some videos soon, so keep a look out for them.
@@sewsosmart3825 looking forward to your new videos!
I was searching up this pattern on here because the zipper instructions nearly had me in tears despite me having sewn for years now 😭 this made it so much easier to understand. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I think I'm hearing purring. Is there a cat nearby?
Hummm, not sure. Sorry for the background noise.
Good tips, thank you
You bet!
