I want to make yoga pants

Can you please etch this into a plinth so I can have it mounted on my wall - or maybe carved out of marble as a celebration of the joy being spread through the majesty of sewing!!
Seriously though, I fucking love these comments!!
Tock has the best sewing channel, he shows step by step instructions and ppl are able to see what he's doing :-)
Thanks a ton for the love my friend! I'm so happy to share these tutorials with people and to have such a positive reaction from the world :)
Hope you're doing terrific!
@@TockCustom i'm doing well and staying home doing alot of sewing diffrent cloths and starting a T-Shirt embroidery
And he doesn't include stuff that isn't necessary, like what he had for breakfast, unlike 99% of other "tutorials" out there.
Tock your voice is so calming!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it :D
Like most people, I used to hate the sound of my own voice... but people keep telling me it isn't bad, so I'll just go with it lol
Hope you have a fantastic week!
My grandmother would have whacked me with a spoon if she saw me sew over pins! LOL
OMG! I could be making yoga pants that fit my short little legs and HAVE pockets?! Eat your heart out, Lululemon.
Yes you can! It'll save you a ton of money, and it's pretty damn fun and easy :) Thanks for watching!
WITH POCKETS. This is crucial. It's criminal how many women's garments just don't have functioning pockets.
I totally agree! Bring back the pockets!!
This comment needs more likes.
Having colors I like and pockets on everything, are huge incentives for me to sew my own clothing instead of buying. Then I will purge my closet of all the ugly stuff by cutting them up and using the fabric for other stuff.
Hey Tock!!! Are you going to post a video for making pants/jeans like the Alexander Henry ones you wear??
Love the video! Thank you for featuring a female guest! She seems amazing and you two work so great together! However, my video seemed to have an awful echo in some spots, was that just my video player? Stay safe Tock and keep the amazing work coming! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I was having audio issues on my end, did my best to save them, otherwise this video would have just been deleted. I think it ended up pretty good regardless. Thanks for watching!
@@TockCustom If Cat were just a bit more sneaky, she could have suggested a "Redo" or take two, take three, take four..... till she had a whole new wardrobe. But that's right, she already knows how to sew herself. Shame too.... There is some poor many thumbed, stitch challenged person out there hunting for a guy like you Tock..
Can you and Cat show us how to create completely original fashion from a sketch without any pattern? Found your channel bc we have the same Brother. set it up and sewed my very first stitch yesterday! But I am here bc I'm an indie film maker and I am making original costumes for my actors. I don't have a pattern to go off of.
That would be a great idea for a video - I'll ask her if she'd be into it for sure. Although this could go anywhere... shirt, jacket, pants, cloak, tunic, shorts... I mean, theres a lot to cover!
Wouldn’t a gusset be necessary for yoga pants? I feel like the average lady bits prefer a gusset In stretchy fabric pants.
I made a men’s yoga pattern with an extra panel in the front so you don’t get a “moose knuckle”. Smaller waist band too.
Good call, might have to get a dance belt to hide the gentleman sausage at some point
nice video. does this patter allow for very tall women? my girlfriend is 6'-3" and has a hard time finding leggings to fit. it would be sweet if i could make some custom ones.
Carl Duellman The pattern should have a ‘lengthen/shorten line printed on it but there are lots of videos on UA-cam about how to lengthen/shorten sewing patterns 😊
Omg yes, extending the pattern out to fit any length is super easy! In fact, during this video - the pants were WAY too long, and we ended up trimming them down (off camera in editing of course). So you can totally do it :)
Yep, exactly! Thank you :)
Channel Support * Positive Message
Obligatory appreciation * optimistic enthusiasm
Did anyone ever tell you have great hands?
I have been told that a few times lol - I don't understand how or why though!! Thank you for the compliment :)
im 2 mins into this video and I love it! subscribing RN
Oh I'm so happy you enjoyed this!! Hope you end up with some great yoga pants!
Glad to see you matched the crotch seam first! Since it's a knit, could have served the whole thing though
Yeah, we were really happy with how the project turned out! She's a total pro though so I'm not surprised :)
We could have serged everything, but this is a beginners sewing tutorial - not everyone is great with seam allowances with an overlock machine, so we decided to do a proper stitch with precise seam allowance first. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Great video Tock. Audio had me wondering if I damaged one of my speakers sharing great music with my neighbors.... Glad to see in other comments it's something on your end, lol.
Starting my fourth practice pair of casual "jogger" lounge pants. I think I have the pattern adjusted for my particular requirements (tall and spreading into middle age). Once I get them right for me I as planning to try some yoga pants for a young acquaintance of mine. The measuring and fitting should be fun anyway.....
Yep, audio could have been better, but it also could have been much worse lol - happy I could save all this footage.
Hope you're enjoying all your projects! Thanks for sharing another positive comment :D
I absolutely love these yoga pants and my co-workers are excited for me to make some for them. i was wondering can you do a video for guy yoga pants?
I totally can! I just need to find a good pattern. I hope your co-workers enjoyed any of the pants you've made so far!!
Awesome. Well done and cool sewing video as usual. Great idea to feature a special guest to sew ladies yoga pants. Best looking sewing duo on UA-cam. Cheers!
I'm so happy to get such a positive comment from you! This was way too much fun, hope to do more shoots like this soon :) Thanks for watching!
Yoga pants aren't just for ladies. I wear 'em under my jeans to keep my legs warm while riding my motorcycle. nothing girlie about it. They are also comfortable to wear around the house on a winter day. I stole 'em from my girlfriend, but now i think i'll make my own. I might make my girlfriend a pair since hers are stretched out. They look better on me then on her.
@@JohnDoe-bf1fw You're right! Everyone should wear yoga pants especially with pockets. Hope this video inspires everybody and I encourage you to sew your own, customized for your use. I'm sure your lucky girlfriend will be happy with hers. Sigh...I wish my guy would sew for me.
@@joy7437 I would love to make my girlfriend a dress or a skirt. Unfortunately, she won't wear anything girlie. I told her I want to make her a little dress with pleated skirt and puff sleeves. She says I'm crazy she ain't wearing it! I tell her whats the fun in being female if you don't dress sexy. So mainly I make tough guy shirts for myself and a cover for my motorcycle.
You guys make cutting with the circular cutters look so simple. I always drag the roller onto the ruler and it stresses me out trying to use it. I haven't attempted cuts like these because my cutting is so inconsistent.
It certainly takes a LOT of practice. Took me a good 3-6 months before I was proficient with it, but its crazy fast compared to shears. Just be careful... these cut skin just as fast lol
Another video, another fantastic tutorial! Not planning to do yoga pants any time soon, but I have a real stretchy, tight-fitting ribbed cardigan to re-hem at the cuffs and I had no idea how to tackle this, and your video delivered! Love how your tutorials are always packed with bits and bobs of practical knowledge that can be applied to so many different sewing tasks
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! I appreciate that this project was helpful, and all the techniques included as well. I really hope to do some more videos with Cat, she was incredible to film with (and she's also way more talented than I am)!
Have a terrific week
Are you sewing over the pins? I thought you said that was a no-no?
We were living in the danger zone that day ;)
It's no big deal until you actually hit one of the pins lol
@@TockCustom LOL
A few mic issues, but highly informative video! Really like different sewing techniques to learn. Thanks for another good one.
I did my very best to save all of the audio, there were some issues I didn't know of until editing... I spent... so much time... trying to get this as close to perfect as I could! Hope it wasn't too terrible. I've since upgraded my mics to better accommodate collaborative video shoots though! Thanks for watching dude, maybe it's time to make some Yoga Pants for the wife!?
@@TockCustom it wasn't terrible, and I can sympathize with spending a ton of time trying to fix it. I am not sure if I'm ready for this yet, butt I think she would like that!
Best sewing tutorials I've seen yet!! Simple and not too slow and boring. Thank you!!
Tock can you make a pair for yourself with matching like Hoodie i think it'd look really cool given the style of things you make regularly
I could totally do that. I'd just need a 'dance belt' so I didn't scare the hell out of everyone in public lol. Making outrageous outfits is one of my favorite things to do :D
Awesome! Helpful 😄 I cut up one of my old pairs and used it as a template 👌
Hopefully that worked well for you! Otherwise there are a ton of great patterns out there. Thanks for watching
Great tutorial! I wouldn’t have thought of making yoga pants but now I kinda want to try!
BTW you did a great job repairing your audio - I think every crafter knows what it’s like to work hours thinking everything’s going so well just to find out something’s wrong just before the end. Like that time I made a small serger cut in the sleeve of my almost finished shirt...
Thank you SO much for saying that. I'm still very proud of this content... even though the perfectionist in me was irritated lol. But overall I'm thrilled about this.
I appreciate the comment and your feedback. Thanks for watching!!
Great video! I love that you’re branching out! Kat was a great guest, and has such pretty hands (you do, too, Chris). I can see myself making some of these.
Thank you so much for such wonderful things to say! Very happy you enjoyed this video 😄 Hope you end up making some terrific Yoga Pants!
Did you need to serger any of the fabric?
We didn't "need" to, but we did because it looks so much more professional. If you don't have a serger, nobody will ever be able to tell what the seams on the inside look like while you're wearing your pants :)
Can you do a video on how to make a neoprene face mask
I probably won't do any more mask videos - I did one, and there are so many other great ones out there!
I love watching your videos during sewing myself haha.
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to make a fitted waistcoat, and on blind hem stitching.
Thank you so much for all your videos and effort that goes into them!
That's awesome! Happy to 'hang out with you' while you're working :)
I know how to make dress vests and waistcoats - but it's more of an advanced garment with lining, so I was going to save that for later after I've finished a lot of my entry level videos. I'll have a lot more stuff coming out soon, so hopefully it's all helpful to you along the way.
Thanks for the support my friend!
just found your channel and love it!!! soooooo helpful!
Great video! Thank you! I’m going to try this pattern 👍
Excellent! Hope they turn out amazing :D
Thanks for watching, have an amazing week!
Hey! You have not posted a video for almost a year!!! Have you forgotten about your UA-cam sewing fans?
Hi, it is a marvelous video, please what kind of pins are you using?
mmmm Tock in yoga pants would be the best!
Hahahahaha!! I'd have to wear a dance belt underneath lol - Thanks for watching :D
@@TockCustom nooooooo
A shower safety bar....thats brilliant!
Before finding your channel today, we attempted a zig zag backstitch on knits... it sucks the fabric in every time (sewing same spot over and over)! No good. So how do you keep the stitch from coming undone without backstitch? We don’t have serger. We are brand new! Thanks! Really enjoyed the video.
Oh, just don't backstitch (if you must, backstitch with a straight stitch, and then switch back to Zig-Zag). All of the raw edges throughout the project will be hidden when you're done, so you wont need backstitches to hold everything together. You can also use a drop of 'Fray Check' to keep things from coming apart too :)
Thanks for watching, hope that helps!
Godddd her style and makeup is so awesome, wuv her
the yoga pants look great on that cutie! :)
I completely agree! She's a fantastic instructor, and made the perfect model for this video. So much fun!
im trying to make a power ranger suit any advice???
Can you skip using a sewing machine and use a serger instead?
Is there a reason why the step of sewing seams with a sewing machine could not be eliminated, and the seams be sewn with only a serger?
I got so wrapped up in typing my question that I forgot my comments. The yoga pants are super cute! And I agree, Tock's voice is perfect for those of us who are listening. I like your voice so much that I would listen even if I wasn't interested in the topic. 🤣 But I especially appreciate how clearly you explain everything, and show video of each step.
Sewing with a sewing machine first is extremely helpful to make sure you're getting the proper seam allowance throughout the project so it fits correctly at the end. It's also a much stronger stitch than a serged seam.
If you trust that you can produce an accurate seam allowance with a serger, and increase the tension throughout it, you could potentially eliminate the need for a sewing machine on this project. But with knit fabrics you'd be able to see the stitching on all the seams (on the outside) which doesn't look very good.
In contrast - industrial/machine made clothing both sew, overlock, and trim all at the same time - so we made these the way store bought clothing is created, it just takes an extra step.
Hope this helps! Great question :)
That makes sense. Thank you!
I'm listening to Bob Dylan and I pop over to youtube and this is the first thing I see. Grateful Dead fans are called Deadheads; Dylan fans are called Bobcats. So welcome Bobcat Dillon!
lol that's awesome! Thanks for watching, hope you're having a terrific week :)
Excellent tutorial video. Can you use the overlock stitch on the Brother ST150HDH machine to "serge" the edges?
Thank you so much for watching! You can certainly trim the seams a bit and zigzag over the edges to clean them up. That will work no problem!
need to give technique for scaling stretch fabric from resting size to as worn, there is obviously a large difference, is there a 'stretch Table'?
Stretch fabrics are pretty forgiving - there are stretch tables out there, but you'd really only need that if you were making something with extremely specific dimensions and patterns. You can certainly try out some different options. Also making these pants really only takes about 30 minutes :)
Great video! Love your channel! ❤️
Thanks a ton Mark! I appreciate the support - Hope you're having an excellent week so far :)
Great video, Tock & Cat. Hey Tock, I noticed your using the metal clips to keep your Olfa cutting mats together. I stopped using them as they always seem to be in the way when I was laying out fabric & cutting it. I now use invisible tape on the bottom & top & have had no issues. Cheers!
Oh that's a great idea. I often move it off the table though so I'd hate for it to fall apart a lot lol. Maybe I'll try something similar to what you've done :)
So on zig zag stitches you can't back stitch?
Tock, great video! If you weren't filming, roughly how long do you think it would take you to make this from start to finish?
Looking forward to seeing the new Brother embroidery machine in action!
I could make these pants in about 40 minutes start to finish - maybe 25 if I was speed running them
Have you ever broken a needle sewing over pins?
Hey Tock. Could you do a basic dress pants tutorial for us basic dudes?
Yes! I've been wanting to for so long, but I keep getting busy with other projects. That video will be coming for sure!
@@TockCustom Awesome!
By following this tutorial and using a pattern I cloned from shorts I like, I’ve made I made stretch shorts with pockets! (It gets hot in Australia)
Oh that's awesome! That's right, you're going into summer down under lol - have a terrific week!
Please do a video on how to make pajama bottoms for women
Your videos are the best!! Can you show us how to sew lining / bag lining into a jacket??
I'll certainly be doing that when I do vest, smoking jacket, and sport coat tutorials for sure :)
Thanks for watching!
Wow awesome style with animal print and black contrast. Good job!
Thank you so much! These turned out PERFECT! All I did was pick the fabrics, Cat did all the rest obviously :D
Hope you have an excellent week!
The pants appear to fit very well. Did you have to adjust the pattern to get a good fit?
Thank you! We didn't have to adjust them at all (although we did shorten the length). The cool thing about knits and stretchy fabrics is the garments will fit the shape of the person wearing them :)
Thanks for watching, hope you have a great weekend!
Something I can make for my daughter! Thanks!!!!
Oh that's awesome! Hope they turn out terrific :)
Your videos are always the best! I learned so much from you! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the support!! Happy to share some great info to help people create some terrific things
Is there an item number for that fabric? Love this video.
Ummmm, I don't remember lol - it's cool though! You can use any stretchy fabrics for this pattern 😊
Noob question: If I wanted to make this pattern all in black, should I use the same fabric for both the black section and the print? Or should I buy two different black fabrics but make sure they have the same stretchy properties as you showed in the video?
Oh yeah, just use the same fabric for all panels and you're good to go :)
@@TockCustom Perfect, thankyou!
Great job with awesome fabric. They look great!
Thank you! 😊We were so happy with how these turned out, thank you so much for watching :)
First, I want to say, I love your channel Tock! Now to my question, I noticed in this video you sewed the yoga pants with the pins in place. Is that because of the type of material (stretch), or have you started sewing your seams with the pins in place on all seams? I am a newer sewer, and was just curious as to the change in technique. Thanks
Hello new sewer. I can answer this for you. It is not a good idea to sew over pins for many reasons. Pins should be removed just before going under the needle. If you place your pins with the head facing the cut edge, it will be easy to remove them with your right hand. Sewing over pins can dull and damage the needle, which could then damage the bobbin case. It is a good habit to remove the pins while sewing. Happy sewing!
I was wondering the same thing. I would be afraid to sew while the pins in place for fear that you could damage the machine or worse, have a needle break and perhaps have flying metal shoot out.
Can you pls create a video on how to draft your own patterns?
I will be doing a lot of that when I get into some intermediate costume and cosplay techniques :)
Hello. Can you make a video showing how to make a pair of loose fitting men's pants? I haven't been able to find any good videos on pants, and your videos seem very well explained and well done.
I will be doing this before Christmas for sure! I'm excited about that video :)
@@TockCustom Thank you!
I don't have a surger machine, but just a regular sewing machine and I was wondering if one could do some of the work on a regular machine surging the areas like the top of the pants you worked on. Those yoga pants does look great and you all did a nice job of assembling them.
Yep, you do not need a serger to make pants like this. You can kind of overlock with a regular sewing machine. Just do a wide zig-zag stitch over the edge of your raw seams (so the left stitch is on the fabric, and the right stitch is off the fabric). Hope that makes sense!
@@TockCustom I will remember that and use that feature to do just that. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for having courage to step outside your comfort zone.
I have been watching both male and female videos for sewing and patten drafting and i am learning a lot.
I think the biggest difference between mens and women's garments is shaping. Many techniques though, are not gender specific.
I like watching both videos because I'm always learning from both males and females.
Loved this and loved Cat! now to find TMNT fabric in Spandex ... :D
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this! Cat was brilliant in this tutorial 😊
Great to hear from you! Hope life in the UK is safe and happy 💕
@@TockCustom Life is crazy but safe! So proud to see you doing so kickass! Never Stop being you Tockers
After finishing that pair of pants, you're ready to move on to "Barbie" fashions. Gonna be hard to come up with a new design though..... You know the Babs has everything already!
Tock, I miss you doing UA-cam videos! It’s been awhile. I hope you are doing ok and hope that you can do additional videos soon!
another great video :) Cat is so lovely!!
She is so wonderful! Would be amazing if you ever got to meet her. You have to come to Dallas at some point!
Nice video. This is a pattern I must have. Pockets! Yes!
Love your sewing machine. Hahaha! Yes, I have the same model. After a couple weeks sewing with it, wish I had it long before.
Another awesome video!! Tfs
Thank you so much! Very happy to share this with everyone - this was so much fun to make :D
Well done so easy to follow your tutorials! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Hope you're able to make some wicked Yoga Pants now!!
Did Cat sew with the pins in? She sure did!
Yes she did! (I do too all the time) 😀
Do you have a link for the type of sewing needle to use on stretchy fabric. Thanks!
Any universal needle that works with knits or stretch materials - these are what I used: amzn.to/3kEYHEe
Thanks for watching!
@@TockCustom Thank you!
I would like to say massive thanks and you are my favourite channel from now on. im just getting my first sewing machine.
I love it!
I was tickled to find your channel and will recommend to my son who is a beginner that
wants to learn to sew his own costumes (I will miss this job, though).
great ta see more new videos Tock :-)
Happy to be posting more often! Feels amazing :D
Thank you, I also wanted to see it back for professional reasons.
Cats nails are everything!
Omg I know, she totally stole the show! And rightfully so 🥰
Do you make all your own stickers? If so what machine do you use?
My life is complete ha ha so pleased I found your tutorials
❤❤❤
Great video Tock!!
OMG IS IT REALLY YOU!!!!!??? I want to catch up if this is who I think it is :D
Hi Cat! Nice to meet you. What talent! Amazing!
Thanks, I found this really easy to follow
I love yours tutorials 😍 💓
Thank you so much! I still can't believe people enjoy these videos lol - I still feel so new at this :D
There’s a stretch stitch?! 🤯
There are a few different kinds actually! Maybe I should do a whole video on stretch fabrics and how to sew them :)
What a delightful lady
I absolutely agree!! She was wonderful to work with
great... i’m gonna go make yoga pants for myself
Yes!! Do it! I hope you end up something you love
@TockCustom i’ll let you know how it goes when i do it! 😁
You explain things so well thank you
Great tutorial. You made it look so easy!
Thank you very much! When you break any project into individual steps, it helps to simplify everything and it is much less intimidating, and a lot easier :)
@@TockCustom SO true!
Looks fantastic. Thanks for the video
I totally agree, these pants turned out perfect! Thank you for watching :)
Have an excellent week!
@@TockCustom year. Your video was very helpful, today I made 2 leggings and was very easy after see your tutorial. 🤩
@@dortega787 Omg that amazing! Hope they fit great 😊
Another great video Chris! I always look forward to learning more from your excellent tuition, and this one had the added bonus of Cat!
Thank you so much! Happy you were able to learn some great techniques in this video, and working with Cat was an absolute pleasure! This was a really fun video to make :D
There are lots of people doing female clothes. Men's clothes really shouldn't be *niche* damn it. What I *really* want is men's clothes that aren't *boring*. Feel free to throw some cosplay in there. Or historical. By including it you'll cover a range of techniques you might not otherwise see.
I want those yoga pants!
Is this who I think it is!? I could totally make you some Yoga Pants for Christmas :D
