On commercial sewing patterns you don't go with the pattern size you chose, you go ofthe finished measurements either on the bottom on the pattern envelope or on they're printed on the patten its self .... if you cut them out from the sizes on the top ... they will be way too big ... thats just a guide for buying the pattern

For someone who doesn't sew pants very often the Lutterloh method was an excellent choice! I would recommend that if you want to sew another pair, the crotch needs a bit of adjusting. I'd add about 1/2" to the "Rise" and they will fit a lot better. That was one measure that the Lutterloh system seems not to use and yet that is so important. Take your tape measure and run it from where you want the waist to sit down through your legs and where you want the pant waist to be in the back. That is the amount of the rise. Or measure the "rise" in a pair of your pants that fits well and doesn't give you "camel toe" when you stand straight. You are doing very well with your sewing so I sure wouldn't be discouraged in any way. The first pair of pants that I made were pajama bottoms and I can't tell you how many times I had to rip out the seems as I got the legs mixed up!! My mother, who was an excellent seamstress and pattern designer, had me chalkmark all the fronts which helped me get the pieces in the right places. I like to repeat a pattern almost right away if it is a wardrobe staple, so I can incorporate all my notes where I maybe went wrong or could make it easier for the next pair to come together. For pants and jackets, I've gone to a stretch lining and I've found it more comfortable. Keep up the good work and let us see your next project! It's refreshing to see sewing as it really is instead of like a TV show where it all comes together without a hitch.

finally an honest review! i was thinking about getting a kit but i am new to sewing. This made me decide to wait till i am more advanced before attempting trying to sew garments with out proper instructions. It seems great to make your own patterns but if your new to sewing i can already feel the frustration. Esp with the cost of fabric and the cost of the kit. thank you for making up my mind.

This dress fits you so much better than the inspirational dress fits the model. It looks amazing on you. Nicely done!

The A and O to sew with this systeme is to take measurements and a second time take your honest measurements . I am sewing since many years from this book

While the back is a good fit, the front crotch is not good. This confirms to me the defect of the system.

Yes! I agree. I would love it if Lutterloh would re-release patterns from each decade. I have the same desire to recreate fashion from popular TV shows like "Mad Men" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".

Maybe the waist was suppose to be cut on the fold for the extra length

The pants do look nice. Garments that fit well are so comfortable to wear.

If you've never changed a needle before, then the needle may have simply been too dull (v. material to thick) to penetrate. Needles, like rotary blades, have a project life. (And when I started sewing, I didn't really understand that!). And needles that break can be an eye hazard. I need my reading glasses to sew now (sigh), and a good thing as they have deflected more than one broken needle tip. I have the Lutterloh system, but I have not had a chance to make anything yet with my crazy work schedule.

❤Every pattern you put together, you will learn something new. Never give up. It may not be perfect, but you actually did a nice job. New sewing projects can be intimidating at first. Just take your time and go step-by-step. You will get it tovwhere you know yourvown tricks. It just takes practice.

Trousers has to be fittet, and Lutherloh are not for beginners. ❤

Why didn't you make a muslin first? I've learned to ALWAYS do that in fabric close to what I'm going to make whatever clothing item from. Then I know which adjustments to make. Takes a little longer, but then you have a pattern you can keep & reuse

Lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Which pant pattern is right for you? This depends on what you want. Do you like wearing loose pants? Or rather tight ones? For which occasion are you sewing? Do you want your pants for sleep wear? Do want want to wear it at home? Or at work? Or for sports? Or only on special occasions? For all these cases you will probably need separate patterns. You said you were so mad about the pyjama pants. But i have to say for sleep wear these pyjama pants are perfect. The loose fit is intentional for sleep wear. If you want to use a pyjama pattern for day wear, then you might use 1 or 2 sizes smaller. The Lutterloh pants fit you perfectly, they are quite snug in the waist and hip area, this looks very good on you. However I could imagine that the pants become uncomfortable after some hours of wearing. And the wrinkles in the front could mean that the front crotch is a little bit too short. But nevertheless these pants look great on you. :-)

Don't give up. And ALWAYS make a mockup on muslin. Can't wait ti see how good you'll get.

Hi Crystal M. Could I ask how tall you are? The Lutterloh System spotted you correct waist height. That's cool!

I would also love to be able to pick patterns.

Hi I just received my system but when I opened it it's not in English very disappointed 😔

Nice 👍👍👍

Thanks for showing Lutterloh. I somehow heard of it, and then I found an old (1982) book in a charity shop. I really want to give it a try too!

An invisible zipper might have looked better. Just my opinion. Great job

Unfortunately in my Lutterloh kit there are no instructions for anything so you have to have sewing knowledge to use the system. But you did a great job with trial and error...You might want to check out some of the online sewing schools....that's what I did. Mimi G has a great one that I'm still in at the moment...I also looked into the beginner sewing school from " Sew Over It" All the sewing schools are really affordable, Mimi G's in 9.00 a month and you work at your own pace. She is a great teacher too..I have learned so much with these courses and have worked my way from beginner to intermediate now...check them out, I think you'd like them.

Patience paid off well done

would have loved to see a flip through of the book so we could actually see what the designs are like. coud you do a video to show us what is actually in there?

First, sew the two back pieces together, then sew the two front pieces together, then bring them together by sewing the inseam, and lastly, sew the two outer seams.

I just got my Lutterloh set, plastic templates and their large book with 280 patterns. I am impressed with the quality of the materials. I was amazed at how quickly I received this set once I ordered it. It was delivered on a Sunday by DHL carriers. I've been a long time sewer, as I am a 72 year old grandmother and am anxious to make my first outfit using this method. I am not able to buy a dress off the rack that has a defined waistline, as I have a longer bodice and always have had to lengthen the top part of a dress as well as make the shoulders a bit narrower. I think I will really enjoy using their 'patterns". Having so many patterns in one book will also allow me to sew for my significant other as well.

Thanks for the information.. Can you mention the lutterloh Facebook group ??

The system assumes you have a basic knowledge of pattern construction. Ike everything else one needs to do a mock up and tweak before cutting. You should also take other measurements of your waist an crotch length just to be doubly sure. Even when you draft your own pattern you might have to make adjustments just before sewing.

You did great. The back is perfect. I bought a system called Sewing the American Way years ago and it was designed the same way. I had forgotten how to use it. This refreshed my memory so I'll try it.

Very pretty dress 😍

You have an elasticated pants and pattern is a fit pants.

Interesting, wearing a shirt about a fictional town in the movie "Stranger Things".

Just remember that pants are tough! I think you did a good job 👍

I've had this system for years and need a new measuring tape and can't find it alone. Do you have any hints

Super cute! Thanks for this review.

I’ve been wanting to tackle this one too. Yours is very cute!

Good for you attempting a not-so-easy garment as a novice. Nobody mentioned the front crotch winkles that NEVER should point to that part of your anatomy. That needs some adjustment but the fit across your bum looks great. Also a big tip is to press your seams after you sew them for a guaranteed professional, not- homemade look. Keep going. Practice does make perfect.

OMG those look great! I really amlooking forward to using my Lutterloh. You really did a good job even if you had to learn along the way. I always have trouble sewing the regular patterns.

I am not seeing the video

thank you for the video. I had just ordered the system so was interested in your comments about it. I love sewing and came across this on you tube. It is expensive but not if it works well as they say it does. I rang a UK number which I found on the website and spoke to a Mr Lutterloh who explained lots of things to me. I asked him how it would accommodate personal idiosyncrasies for example I have a curved high back and sloping shoulders. He said you have to make a muslin and alter it to fit. I bought Surefit designs at the beginning of lockdown last year as I wanted to learn pattern drafting and I made several patterns and then loads of muslins but now I have a good fit. The patterns offered by SFD are really old fashioned but I have been drafting my own. I am hoping this system will be better than that. Many thanks again. I have subscribed and will keep checking in

Excelente...el inglés no es mi idioma pero te entendí muy bien... un abrazo🌻🌻🌻

Hallo Crystal, ich habe auch das Lutterloh System, aber ich habe mich noch nicht getraut. Ich finde Dein Video großartig!! Vielen Dank und viel Grüße aus Düsseldorf

Your trousers look great

One great tip I learned in bra-making -which has lots of little bits- is to use tiny different coloured dot stickers to keep pieces labeled and to help with matching up seams. With larger items you can use post-its, tape, different types of pins. Try not to worry about sewing mistakes. If they still fit and flatter I often leave them in now, so I can “prove” that I make my own fabulous clothes.

Good job. Your little princess is loving it.

Omg, I had the same issue sewing the lutterloh shorts. It was all user error. Since I also did a plain fabric (no print), I lost track of the "right sides". I ended up using embroidery placement stickers to keep track.

Get a yard stick from the hardware or paint store.

I ordered mine almost three weeks ago, and USPS doesn't even show it has shipped. How long did it take you to get yours?

Cardboard ruler?!
