Thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I always get a little confused with pants seams and this cleared everything right up. This is especially appropriate for me because I happen to be sewing doll-sized clothes! Haha.
Thank you so much! Your voice and explanation is so easy to listen to! I am so grateful! My mom used to sew for my doll line and she just recently died. It’s been hard for me to get excited but I recently got a lot of positive comments after posting a new rag doll so decided to try to remember how to make the pantaloons my mom used to make. I remember her trying to teach me how to do this. And it was as if she were here for a minute thank you!💕
oh...so sweet. The same feeling my daughter in law has about her mom's dishes! She tells me that she loved her mom's cooking and enjoyed all the time but never tried to pay attention how she was making. Suddenly her mom died and now she regrets how come she did not learn from her mom! (we always take everything for granted and feel confident that we are together forever, isn't it?) I thank youtubers very much as I am learning so much may that be painting in oils, acrylics, sewing, cooking etc and improving my skills. I am a portrait artist, self taught artist and that is why getting new ideas from the youtube channels are very helpful.
I just want you to know that this tutorial is Heaven Sent!!! I am a beginner with sewing patterns but started with McCall's 6760 pattern. I could not find anything anywhere that could explain this first method ANYWHERE. I thank you so much. I've revisited this video so many times
I'm glad it helped. Make sure to let me know if there are any other issues you are having with patterns. I'd love to tackle those frustrations that beginners have. We need to keep you sewing!!
I was just sewing a playsuit and the pants part really did my head in. I have sewn quite a few pair of pants in the past and every time it just got me. Decided to take a break and jumped on UA-cam did a bit of research . Your video is super helpful, I’m gonna go back sewing tomorrow since it’s pretty late . Thank you for making this video
Thank you so much Lori, I am a beginner to making clothes and was trying to follow what a thought was a pattern for easy pj bottoms but got totally lost at this point. Ended up sewing it up wrong but had no idea where I had gone wrong. The whole lot nearly went in the bin but this video saved me!
Thankyou! You've explained how to to sew pants in a way that is woefully lacking from the Simplicity pattern I am using. You've taken the stress and fear away from this important sewing task. I like the second method the most.
Thank you! I've been sewing for many years, but only on occasion and long time spans between. So when I've recently been making some pajamas, I found the pattern guide didn't explain sewing the crotch seam well at all and I was getting totally confused trying to figure it out on my own (and I had to rip out my seam as I realized I had done it wrong)! Your video was so simple and clear on how best to do this!!! Thank so much.
You're very welcome. I enjoyed making it. I'm going to be posting a lot more things like this, now that my website has launched I'll have time. I'd love for you to join the site (Learn How to Sew Today, link in the description above), it's completely free.
Hi Lori I have just spend almost 3 hours trying to sew my first pants together (using example no 2). I will now split the whole thing up again and then use your guide instead. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SIMPLE GUIDE. You deserve 10 thumps up.
Thank you, Lori! I got so frustrated with this today, I put my cut out pattern pieces away for the day. Your's was the first video I saw after putting in "sewing pants crotch." I can't thank you enough! I used to sew a great deal and just took it up again & got very confused with this and the pattern instructions really didn't give me a clue. Like everyone else here, I was so happy to find your video!
Lori Griffiths I just saw ur video n I'm going to try it the way u explained it cuz I was to threw with my first try of making wide leg pants I had no idea what I was doing I'm hoping I get it n make me some great comfortable pants someday the ones I did I threw them some were it pissed me off so much I didn't wanna try it ever again but u make it seam so easy wish me luck I'm sure gonna need it
Hi Ms. Lori, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. I would like to know if one version is more comfortable to wear, better fitting or “professional” in appearance then the other. I know you stated they look the same in the end but the fit of the construction, is what sparking my curiosity. Thanks again for your help!!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how these pants were put together on a sewing pattern. Thank you a million!
Thx for your video. It is probably a big help, but still difficult for beginners. The easiest way is to sew mid front first and then mid back. After this you can either sew the inside leg or outside leg seams.
This was a lifesaver! So happy I came across this! My online pattern had very vague directions and I got so confused by watching videos using different sequences with full size pants, confusing me more. Your little mini pants was so clear to see and understand! Thank you!!
Hello from Christmas Morning 2021 I just used this great tutorial to sew up some shorts for my Mom. These have been driving me crazy all week so thank you very much for posting it. I actually traced your mini patterns from the screen onto paper and made a mock up just so I knew I understood.
Thanks so very much! I’ve been wrestling with this pattern trying to figure out how to join the two sets together for weeks. I was just about to throw the whole material etc. in the garbage. The pattern instructions are horrible,especially for novice sewers. I’m so happy I got help on UA-cam by way of your demonstration. I look forward to watching many more of of your videos.😍
I could swear I’m the Stefanie you made this video for! I don’t remember posting for help but pj pants are my nemesis and this year I swore I would figure it out so I started searching UA-cam and found your video!
I was looking for a way to make pants easier to fit in the crotch area and this video showed . I noticed that neither way is the way shown in a lot of patterns. I think this way will make altering easier. Thank you. 7 yrs later still helping :)
I always forget how the pant seams work but i always come back to this video and it clears it up straight away! Thank you for making such a great video.
I sew each leg and then put one inside the other with right sides together and then sew the entire crotch seam from front waist to back waist. In my opinion, that creates a hinge point for wearing comfort. It's also how some excellent sewing books instruct.
Amazing, thank you so much for these easy to follow instructions. I'm new to sewing and it's my first attempt at trousers, successfully sewn them up tonight thanks to this video!
Excellent video! I can’t be with my dear daughter-in-law to teach her how to sew hands on, so I’m having to rely on video chats and sending her UA-cam videos. Yours was a big help with her first pair of pajamas. Thanks!
Thank you for showing the first method. I'm sewing a vintage pair of overalls....I was beyond confused! I literally couldn't sleep last night because I kept trying to figure it out in my brain...should've watched this and settled my mind a lot quicker!! So again, THANK YOU!
Brilliant! Very simply solved my confusion about how to sew which seam first! I had to rip open with seam ripper the legs for the first experiment. Then I finished the child's pajamas by sewing the crotch areas first then side seams, then in seams (now i know inner legs seams are first!), then matched the crotch if both pieces and did the elastic band area casing. This is so much simpler! Thanks!
I was never taught to sew on a machine I just bought one and started experimenting... Needles to say nothing fit 😅 i remember copying a pair of shorts with non stretch material and when I was doing the crotch my brain sorta melted in angst... I finally figured it out after much time...but didn't know about adding extra length to the seams for the right fit. I ended up with a nice pair of white shirts several sizes too small with no waist seam whatsoever..I did have pockets tho.. Now that I'm alot older, I'm excited to get another machine. My 86yr old seamstress grandmother is going to teach me some valuable lessons and I can begin again more seasoned...I plan to make many alterations and maybe a few custom outfits and bags..life is about learning from mistakes.. And I hope I learn quickly. Thank you for your added wisdom
We all make lots of mistakes. Sewing is an art and it takes some time to learn it well. I've been studying pattern drafting now intensely for over ten years and still learn stuff every day. It's a process, but it is a lot of fun too! Thanks for the nice comment.
Lori you gem of a human being. Thank you so much. I unpicked a pair of pants I really loved but worn and tired and replicated them so this was tremendous help 🤸🏻♀️💛
Thanks so much for this video Lori..I was struggling with sewing pants and was about to give up...I was super confused about the construction but you made it very easy for me to understand.
I can't believe the secon method is so easy! I thought they were so much harder to make! I never made clothes but I could see how some things are pieced together, but pants were a mystery
Thank you SO. MUCH. For this tutorial. I'm still struggling a little bit but this gives me a way better visual representation than just pictures. P.s. you have a very sweet calming voice, and paired with the assurances that pants are hard to understand you make pants seem very approachable. Thank you! ❤️
That you for the instructions and thank you to the person who asked for them....pants have ALWAYS been a thorn in my side. Your explanation is SO on point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, if you can just post how to put pockets in the seam where the pattern does not call for them pretty much like a scrub suit bottom that just has a drawstring like PJ.s
Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to make my first pair of pants and for the life of me, I couldn’t understand how to sew the crotch. You’re tutorial was impeccable in explaining so thank you so much. I especially like the second one. It was easier for me to do. Thank once again so much.
I wish I had your tutorial when I was sewing harem pants for my 10 year old's 'Mufti' day at school, 20 years ago! (You call them 'spirit days' I believe; I just looked it up). I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Luckily, my then husband patiently worked it out & he was able to support me in that very rare instance. Watching this, I'm not surprised I nearly went nuts. Very good tutorial, btw! (p.s. I remain a very capable woman in most areas of life, but putting together those pants with the directions given, was beyond me.)
I don't know why it seems to complicated, but it sure does. It even confuses me if I think too hard. Pants and sleeves are the toughest things to learn. Thanks for the nice comment.
Thank you for such a good visual lesson on sewing the crotch. It's been such a long time since I've sewn that I forgot how and thanks to you I'm back on track. However I like your first method. I clicks. Thanks again
yes, very true. No other channel has shown this much clearly. I have watched several channels for sewing pajama and the issue that I wanted to understand about the inside seam adjustment, was never discussed. But here, Ms. Lori Griffiths using checks material and showing step by step made a visual appeal to understand the basics. Thanks.
Thank you for this, I was taught a very complicated method many years ago which involved inserting one leg into the other...this is so, so much easier and my addled brain thanks you.
What's the use of the protrusion used in pants in the crotch area on women, esp the back part of the pant? What happens when I overdo the protrusion and underdo t? Is it the same amount of protrusion that works for everyone or do I have to find for myself what works best for me?
thank you for making this video, ive just got a sewing machine and am going to make some matching outfits for my little cousins, this really helped and had very clear instructions, thanks
Thank you So Very much for doing this! I have two pair cut out and since I have not made any for the last year ???? I have had 3 concussions and my recall is terrible -so you are an angel for doing this! Hugs from Va.
What about t shirt arm holes?? I know that the front and back of shirt is slightly different so if I’m making my own pattern. How do I measure the difference??
thank you! I've tried patterns that used that second way and it was a nightmare for me. I will try to make pants again but this time I will use the first way. It looks so much easier!
I will most definitely join your site! i also pinned your video on Pinterest, FB, & Twitter! This was the absolute, by far, the best explained video tutorial. You did an awesome job! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! It was very helpful, I am hoping to make a jumpsuit design I made but had no idea how to go pants so this video was very informative and helpful.
Thank you. I make pants and still trying to fit better (almost there). Thinking of just making skirts now. Recall old YT vid where sewed stretching part of upper back? leg seam so will fit comfortably. Have you noticed if sew method 1 or 2 changes fit at all? Like your cute mini pants, maybe will try for childrens old doll.
Thank you for this video! I made pants for my baby and the first time it came out all wrong but I corrected myself. My second pair I made last night I got so lost in the instructions, but your video helped me so much!
Omg Thank you! Very good tutorial loved the Mini size also the editing not showing the machine part of it just getting to the point of what you're trying to show us!
Thank you so much Lori!!!! This is awesome, finally there is a video to show how to turn pants the right way! This is the best video and explained so well!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I always get a little confused with pants seams and this cleared everything right up. This is especially appropriate for me because I happen to be sewing doll-sized clothes! Haha.
You're welcome. The pants in the video are about doll sized, so that works well.
I LOVE IR CHANNELLLL
I legitimately found this video trying to figure out how to make your cargo pants pattern, omg
Your instructions were spot on...the pattern I used had poor instructions, I did not know where to start...this was of great help...Thanks!!!
+taalizi You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Same here ! God bless you
You just saved me A LOT of stress! Second year with making my sons costume and this helped me get the pants done in less than an hour!
That's great to hear. I'm very glad I was able to help.
9yrs later and this video is still the best
Thank you so much! Your voice and explanation is so easy to listen to! I am so grateful! My mom used to sew for my doll line and she just recently died.

I new this was the perfect video for me the second it started just from the "This is for Stephanie" !! This was exactly what I was looking for!
Yay, I helped another Stephanie! Thanks for watching.
Eight years after your post, you are still helping people like me. I was ready to give up on sewing. Thanks so much. Very helpful.
I'm so glad it helped. Please don't give up. Sewing is skill that opens up so many possibilities.

Marj W You're very welcome. I know pants construction is really confusing, even if you've done it lots of times. I hope your pajamas turn out great!
The second method really helped. I was so lost and confused! Thank you so much for making the tutorial.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Oddly satisfying watching someone make tiny trousers..
LOL. It is, isn't it.
Morbid Moo x
Lol. Oh You. 🤓
Haha it was!!
Funny
I was ready to give up when I found your easy to follow instructions, thank you, thank you, thank you.
You're welcome. I'm glad you didn't give up.

You made this 8years ago and I'm grateful you did. Because it's helping me right now in this future. Thank you so much Lori! 🥰
You are so welcome! It is a very old video, but it seems to continue to help people.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how these pants were put together on a sewing pattern. Thank you a million!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making the time to do this! Having it done in miniature is a lot easier to follow.
I shouldn't have used fabric that looks the same on both sides, but it still works okay. Thanks for watching.
Thx for your video. It is probably a big help, but still difficult for beginners. The easiest way is to sew mid front first and then mid back. After this you can either sew the inside leg or outside leg seams.
Totally agree. I must be spatially challenged or something but I got it wrong with both methods in the video. Good thing I ran across this comment 😅
@@maryhues7054 glad to be of any help.

I literally love you, I was looking at various patterns and they never showed how to actually assemble the pants but this helped tremendously
That's great! Thanks for the comment.
The most helpful advice I’ve seen in a while!
Excellent video! I can’t be with my dear daughter-in-law to teach her how to sew hands on, so I’m having to rely on video chats and sending her UA-cam videos. Yours was a big help with her first pair of pajamas. Thanks!
I'm glad it helped. It can be very confusing for beginners.
I come back to this video EVERY TIME I make pants. It is so helpful.
Thank you for showing the first method. I'm sewing a vintage pair of overalls....I was beyond confused! I literally couldn't sleep last night because I kept trying to figure it out in my brain...should've watched this and settled my mind a lot quicker!! So again, THANK YOU!
I wish you'd watched earlier, too. I can't tell you how much "figuring" I do when I should be sleeping. Thanks for the comment.
When I put one pant leg into the other the way you instructed, the backs still don’t line up. Where am I going wrong?
Brilliant! Very simply solved my confusion about how to sew which seam first! I had to rip open with seam ripper the legs for the first experiment. Then I finished the child's pajamas by sewing the crotch areas first then side seams, then in seams (now i know inner legs seams are first!), then matched the crotch if both pieces and did the elastic band area casing.

Glad it was helpful!
I can't believe the secon method is so easy! I thought they were so much harder to make!
I never made clothes but I could see how some things are pieced together, but pants were a mystery
Thanks
Thank you for showing this in a smaller scale. Makes it easier to see everything you're doing👍
I should have used a different fabric, but I'm glad you understood it. Thanks for watching.
Best tutorial ever for understanding pant seams!! I keep coming back to this video every time I need help. Thank you.
+Daywhoopga Pants are so confusing. I'm glad my little video is there when you need it. Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you SO. MUCH. For this tutorial. I'm still struggling a little bit but this gives me a way better visual representation than just pictures.

Thank you so much. I was so confused and had sewn all the wrong sides together. I now have a lovely pair of children's pants.
That's great! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am trying to find a similar one that cuts the pants once already made to add lining
This is such a useful video!! I always get confused when sewing them together. Thank you!!!
Best video of all time not because u see what u want to no but man that teaching was just brilliant right there 👏
TY SO MUCH FOR THIS. I AM SEWING A WHOLE COSTUME FOR MY FIRST TIME. LOVE THIS
Thank you for such a good visual lesson on sewing the crotch. It's been such a long time since I've sewn that I forgot how and thanks to you I'm back on track. However I like your first method. I clicks. Thanks again

Best tutorial on how to sew a pants pattern together! Thank you sweet, sweet lady. Little pants origami, lol!! :D
Great demonstration for me! It really seams like an origami challenge for me sewing pants so I don’t even bother. This video helps a lot! Thank you!
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this, I was taught a very complicated method many years ago which involved inserting one leg into the other...this is so, so much easier and my addled brain thanks you.
thank you so much for making this ! I (sadly) have to watch it every time I make pants and you help me understand what I'm doing ! Lots of Love
No shame. I watch my own videos when I forget things all the time. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This just made a days work of trying to read a pattern so easy. Thank you!
Thank you Lori Griffiths! This is one of those things that seems easy, but when you haven't been sewing for a very long time,it gets confusing!
I know what you mean. It doesn't take much to get super confused. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Lori, yours is the best tutorial on sewing pants. Thanks!
Oh dear you posted this video in 2013 and I am watching this in 2019😁 you don't know how useful it is for me.😀
The technique is very, very old. It will work forever. Thanks for watching.
What's the use of the protrusion used in pants in the crotch area on women, esp the back part of the pant? What happens when I overdo the protrusion and underdo t? Is it the same amount of protrusion that works for everyone or do I have to find for myself what works best for me?
thank you for making this video, ive just got a sewing machine and am going to make some matching outfits for my little cousins, this really helped and had very clear instructions, thanks
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this tutorial. It does seem kind of confusing at first but you explained it very well.
Great video!! Just finished my first pair of pants and had to unpick before getting it right. Your video is absolutely perfect!
I'm very glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
You learn a lot when you have to tear things apart. It's great that you didn't give up and finished successfully.
Thank you So Very much for doing this! I have two pair cut out and since I have not made any for the last year ???? I have had 3 concussions and my recall is terrible -so you are an angel for doing this! Hugs from Va.
Thanks for watching.
What about t shirt arm holes?? I know that the front and back of shirt is slightly different so if I’m making my own pattern. How do I measure the difference??
Front and back armholes are different lengths and shapes. I'm releasing a drafting program soon, so stay tuned.
I love this. I thought I cut my pattern out wrong and didn’t match them up right. Now I can fix the next pair
This is so helpful, how can I add elastic and a waistband?
thank you! I've tried patterns that used that second way and it was a nightmare for me. I will try to make pants again but this time I will use the first way. It looks so much easier!
It can be really confusing and the pattern instructions are not explained well. I hope the first method works for you.
I will most definitely join your site! i also pinned your video on Pinterest, FB, & Twitter! This was the absolute, by far, the best explained video tutorial. You did an awesome job!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! It was very helpful, I am hoping to make a jumpsuit design I made but had no idea how to go pants so this video was very informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I make pants and still trying to fit better (almost there). Thinking of just making skirts now. Recall old YT vid where sewed stretching part of upper back? leg seam so will fit comfortably. Have you noticed if sew method 1 or 2 changes fit at all? Like your cute mini pants, maybe will try for childrens old doll.
I wish I had found this tutorial a week ago. My next pair of pants will take no time at all. Thanks.
Wow, I hope it helps that much. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video! I made pants for my baby and the first time it came out all wrong but I corrected myself. My second pair I made last night I got so lost in the instructions, but your video helped me so much!
That's great to hear. Stay tuned for more sewing instruction soon.
OMG! Thank you sooooo much for this video!! Most helpful of them all and you explained it so well. Beginner sewer here.
