Seriously - you seem to always do a video on something JUST as I needed the info! Really appreciate you sharing all this knowledge with us. Thank you!!
I've not been able to watch lately because I'm hanging out with my great neice this summer as she auntie sits me before going to middle school in the fall. I've been saving and downloading all of the many I have missed. I just wanted to say a quick hi and be back soon when school resumes possibly! 😊
Thank you for this video, this was me in your facebook group asking about it! :) *I feel special* I'm 100% going to tune in to your slender neck video too. You're the best thank you for all you do!
I've forgot your first name. This was very informative. I have not attempted to wear pants because I typically do not wear pants, but I feel less confident that I can handle it right now. I will definitely be pulling this back up if I run into issues.
Hi! UA-cam has not been putting your videos up. So I didn't realize you still. We're making videos it's frequently as you have. I have to go back and look through them. This video seems like a really interesting video I don't wear pants much. And I never attempted to try to make any, but I may consider it now. Have a great day!
Oh no, I'm sorry you haven't been seeing my videos. Not sure what's happening with that... My total views have not dipped down. Are you subscribed and clicked the bell on my channel?
This was fascinating and so helpful. I would love to see a similar video on jeans. They always seem to have a very slanted center back seam even with a flat behind. I always end up with denim trousers rather than jeans by the time I finish fitting. I’ve enjoyed all your videos on pants fitting.
Thanks! The information in this video can be applied to all pant styles, including jeans. The closer the fit the more angled the CB seam because this straight line needs to wrap around a curved shape. If you have a flat behind, you can straighten the CB seam a little bit to make less room inside. Thanks you for fitting along with me!
Hi Jen, I am confused as to why where the "grainline" ends is an issue. Surely the grainline is just a line that has been drawn on the pattern that helps you lay your pattern piece so the threads of the fabric run up and down the leg vertically. Although it is usual to place the grain line in the middle of the width of the trouser leg, it could in theory be drawn anywhere across the width of the leg, dependent on the preference of the patternmaker. If, for example, you (as the patternmaker) chose to place grainline near the side seam, then as long as the grainline is perpendicular to hem of the pant, thus ensuring the threads of the fabric run straight up and down the leg, then that is fine. It is just convention that most people draw the grainline in the centre of the leg.
:) It is a line to help you position you pattern pieces on the fabric so it agrees with the straight of grain of the fabric... For me the grainline is positioned in the middle of the leg from the knee to the hem and then continues straight up from there so I can use it to see if I'm distorting and throwing the pattern "off grain" while doing fitting adjustments. I have discovered that it matters how close the top of the grainline is to the CB seam (when it's positioned in the middle of the leg). While fitting my daughter who is plus size... I made a few assumptions about what I thought the shape of the pattern should be.. I angled the CB seam and made a few other adjustments that put the top of the grainline in the CB seam (instead of along the waistline)... She ended up having this nondescript wrinkles on her back legs... I couldn't figure it out until I tipped the top of the pattern back so the grainline was a couple inches away from the CB seam... It straighten the top of the pattern and the wrinkles when away! Hope this helps
:) I'm so excited about all the "stuff" we crammed into the Pants Class! Creating a more angled CB seam will give you room inside your pants for your behind. You may need to extend your crotch points too to make room for your upper thigh as well. Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me
:) I'll be getting to these butt issues in upcoming episodes of "Body Specific Adjustments You May Need Before Cutting Your Fit Muslin" (Right after I cover... A Prominent Tummy) Thanks for fitting along with me
YAY! My remote-work tummy is right there with you. I'll be looking for a split-side version of the Sorcha Trouser if I keep on indulging in the zucchini bread!

So THAT is what you're up to at Threads! I look forward to watching your video on Insider?

You're a goddess ✨ This is so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words!! and thank you for fitting along with me :)
Thank you. Can’t wait to see the Threads Magazine video. Will this will help with lines going down the back thighs? I have a big butt and big thighs.

I want for patterns to indicate high butt/middle butt/low butt. Mine is low.
