Pro Tip: Combine your Colon Broom with a Squatty Potty and your poop struggles will lessen even more (including the pins and needles in your legs). Squatty Potties are a real game changer in the poop department!
'Should I be making a mock-up? Probably. Am I gonna? Hell no.'
Exactly how I approach any sewing project 😂❤
Why would I waste muslin for a mock up when I can wing it and inevitably make a mistake and then have to recut and waste some of my real, more expensive fabric? 🙄🤣
I’ve only made a mock-up like… once that I can remember? It was for stays. And I used the material that was gonna be my lining. 😂
I just discovered your channel...and am so glad. I love you and your "pockets In everything" attitude!
I'm 83 years old, could be your grandmother, but this episode took me back to 1962, and making my wedding dress.
So much procrastination and self inflicted stress. Finished with days to spare, and my mother near panic. Dress and wedding were beautiful. We celebrated 54 years before my husband passed. Thanks for the memories...your concert outfit is darling, and you have a new subscriber.
May by the mercy of God, your husband's soul rest in peace!
Secret pants, Renaissance, music, procrastination...sounds like my kinda project.
Procrastinator here. I sewed pieces together for a jacket hours before an event.. got it done though... 😆
The weight of the skirts is why we don't use elastic waist bands on Victorian petticoats and skirts. Nothing is worse than feeling your skirts slid down your hips. I absolutely adore your skirts as pants.
Apropos of nothing, I love it when I recognize an outfit you are wearing that I watched you making it.
There is a special club, and it's "Seamstresses who wear glasses and have issues judging size because of lens distortion". Welcome friend.
You had me at secret pants.
Yup, ever since Rachel Maksy secret pants will always get me.
"because cheese" hahaha story of my life! Also secret pants!!!!
You describing how you prefer Broadway/opera/ballet instead of concerts and people watching at a club: yes! you are my kind of people!
Pockets on pockets is genius!
The final outfit was so cute!
I KNOW! SO CUTE. I really kinda wanna make my own outfit like this now!
I made a circle skirt a few years ago. A few weeks ago I got tired of the skirt and turned them into secret pants. This was a revelation, and I have converted. I will DIE by the creed of SECRET PANTS!
Ooh could you experiment with making pants with the adjustable waist of the Coquelicot skirt? The pockets would need moving but adjustable wrap pants would be interesting.
I think Hazariel made giant wrap trousers, I can't remember if she put pockets in them though but it should be fairly simple...
I want to say Shannon Makes did something akin...
@@thebookwyrmslair6757 I'll have to go look. I only heard of Shannon Makes today from a comment of Morgan Donners new video. 😁
Fantastical Follies made a pair like that, too.
I love how unapologetically you you are. From all the other creative, winging it, people watchers out there, thank you! My grand daughter is just learning to sew (teaching herself!) And I truly appreciate your approach. Covering the basics while exploring the flexibility. And, yes, covering the errors that can occur! While clearly showing it's worth it. Again thank you!
ok, so these are right up there with Bernadette, Morgan, & Rachel. Well done!!! 😍🤩
yup..!! all the channels that I TO follow..chuckle..
Agreed! I have a feeling her channel will do amazing pretty soon! *fingers crossed*
I love the pockets inside the pockets! I'm slowly adding pockets(or increasing the size of the stupid pockets they have in women's clothes) to my clothes. Whenever I wear something with pockets that I added, it's so so nice!
Ps- I think we would get along as friends if we ever met in person ^_^
Same! One of my summer scrap-busters was enlarging pockets on otherwise reasonable commercial jeans. 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah adding pockets is so nice! Makes me actually wear things I used to avoid! I've also added pockets to fake pockets lol.
@@ReinaElizondoIt was a game changer when I realized how to do this! I've been in a second hand shop holding my phone and wallet against "fake pockets" in a blazer, to check there's enough room from opening to hem to fit my stuff.
Then a squeal of joy, when I find that "yes. Yes it WILL work!"
The most complex and visible part is the welt, and they've already done that! Hoorah!
And even if the pocket bag were an appropriate size, they probably wouldn't have secured it into the seams to distribute weight the way I'm going to. Or made it from fabric as durable as I'm choosing....
It's just making sure I take it home and DO IT.
I am so out of the loop- I thought you were going to a renaissance faire concert, lol. The outfit looks awesome!
Oooh, actually, that would be super stealth for Renfaire. Both the secret pants and the secret purse would totally rock at something like that! Plain fabric for the pants; add an over skirt kilted up on one side for visual effect; pleasant blouse and tight laced bodice over that …. And if you did it right, the bodice could be a “secret bra”, too! 😂
Glad I'm not the only one 🤣
Well, those are some *seriously* wide legged pants and I'm here for it. Especially in the metallic silver fabric.
I've always liked Marlene trousers on me, but those are truly next level.
Going to the toilet must have been a nightmare, though 😆
Haha I did have to squeeze into a porta-potty at the concert, but I made sure to go as soon as we arrived so it was still clean and unused!
I spent this entire video thinking "why is she talking about concerts in relation to a renaissance fair? Why is she calling the fair a concert? I'm not sure this outfit is exactly renaissance, but I'll trust the process..." oh dear 😅
As a lifetime member of the no purse club (At a young age I was petrified of losing it and I gave up quickly) pockets are my friends. It is the most liberating feeling! Pockets are life! 😂 It was interesting to hear the other side of not carrying around a purse for a while tho.
omg I feel like I made an equal but opposite project - I made a corset for the Eras tour LA dates in August 😂
I went purseless several years ago. If you feel you need all that stuff, keep a bag for those unnecessary necessities in your car. Mine car bag includes pen and paper, nail file, tweezers, wet wipes, tissues, and dog treats.
My pocket contains cash, license, and credit card. That’s it.
Glad you enjoyed your concert.
Your outfit was awesome!!!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It may have been acapella and without lyrics, but you have still successfully got "So Much Better" stuck in my head now. Just surprised you weren't singing "Welcome to the Renaissance" from Something Rotten instead 😋
Okay, so storytime - I 100% did not know what song I was singing when I sang that or what had triggered it. Got to editing, and I was like hmm still don't know what song this is. Obviously it's very Broadway, maybe High School Musical? But then I didn't feel like digging around trying to figure it out, so I was like I will just leave that bit in the video, and SOMEONE is bound to tell me what song it is in the comments. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! XD
These secret pants are fantastic! I like the comfort of palazzo pants, but they still look like pants. These for sure take care of that. Also, your pocket inception, was a great idea! I love big pockets, but shoving your hand to the bottom to find the small thing you need is such a pain, way to up your game.
Love the look of your secret pants. The look of a maxi skirt with the security of pants
Love the secret pants. I think wearing them with a solid black top (to echo the color of the bel) or a solid white or gray top (the other colors in the print) would look really nice, too.
I have to say thank-you for inspiring me to try a new craft. I have ADHD and a mean streak of self critical perfectionism but I love you attitude when trying new things. I just completed my first embroidery and am starting a second and I am loving it.
This is my favorite thing to hear! I'm so happy you're trying new things. Be kind to yourself as you go - creating is all about embracing those mistakes!
Pockets inside pockets? Oh, my goodness! I need those in my life!!! Now please tell me Mat got you backstage to meet Queen B! Are you going to start designing and sewing concert costumes now? 😉
Yes, it is making sense. I can't believe you figured all that out to draw your pattern! Your skills with making your own patterns is impressive!!!
A renaissance renaissance outfit sounds amazing. I don't have plans to go but I want this outfit
12:47 doggo did not like the smell of his feet lol
I hear you on the pockets. My ultimate goal is to contain my whole life without carrying a bag. Freedom 🤸🏻. Also, this whole set came out beautiful!
May I ask how it went up til now? From my experience of being bagless for several months now, reevaluate the necessity of everything, invest in a good bowl to empty the pockets at night and see where you can leave useful-but-not-everyday items (for me the nail file, comb, scissors...) at work.
@@svenjaj.3520 I’m still learning to sew, so I’m focusing on the same as you and minimizing my bulk. I use don’t carry cash, my phone contains all card info I ever need (like store, insurance and library cards), I splurged on a good quality, very tiny umbrella, and i use a locked away spare house key instead of carrying keys. Not sure if these ideas will end up being any good, but has worked out ok so far.
Omg- I now want to make pants- and put credit card slots and a hidden zipper pocket in the pocket 😂
Yaaaaaas! A zipper pocket is such a good idea!
Yes!!!! I have been wanting to make circle secret pants, and now you gave me a full example of how to do it. Thanks! Currently making one of the adjustable split skirts based on your process too, and it looks really good so far.
Those pants would be great as part of a wedding dress. Was surprised you didn’t sew a belt that tied.
"Math dang it" is a mood. I have been trying to calculate how much fabric I need for a cone for a tent topper. I need to put the tent up and get some angles....
So my wife came across you today and we just sat in the living room and watched your latest 4 videos, Gotta say, My wife and i love your personality, Your sillyness and of course LINK! Keep being yourself we Love your videos!!!
Aw thank you so much and welcome!!
Love the pockets-in-pockets. I've been drafting my own pants and contemplating circle-pants, and yeah, the add-on to the circle might have worked better than the cut-in to the circle... but stretchy helps!
Hi! Would you mind explaining the why as to adding on vs cutting in ? Been wanting to make a pair like this for eons, have played with several culotte patterns and the legs were never big enough. Uggg
I love your sewing style. It reminds me of me, deciding to make a dress this weekend, having never sewn an item of clothing 😂
Yay! That's the way to dive into sewing though - just get an idea and go for it!
i honestly hope you got at least one compliment on your pants at the concert because they are absolutely AAAAAAH-mazing!!! i love them so much!
I did! As soon as I got out of the car, someone yelled from their car that they loved my outfit, and I was like Huzzah it was all worth it! XD
Upping your pocket game is epic!! Love watching you create. The whole outfit is brilliant. The concert looked amazing, so very many people!
Top notch work on the captions, especially the very end. It's the little details that make it so great to watch your videos.
You are the QUEEN of circle skirts. So much so u made them pants... but I love them so now I'm gonna need to you to brake that down a bit. Because I also have alot of yardage, about 11 yards, that I could also make these. But you went so fast... nvm u said that didn't work lol but I still loved them
Actually, yes, this is my first time here. I love skirts with lots of fabric. And now secret pants with lots of fabric. Awesome!! 🎉
(Welcome to the Stitchery! Here, we wing it.) ❤
Yay welcome to the insanity!
You are so motivating! Thank you for keeping me company while I sew. I love putting on your different playlists and just letting them play. Through chores and sewing and even work, you're right there with me
Love it. A throw back to Palazzo Pants from the '70s. And yes I love pockets too. Ever since I was working and using my car as a rolling office. I kept leaving my handbag laying around, so I stopped carrying one. Who needs it, pockets in jackets, in pants, console in car, no handbag needed. Great video. Ty for sharing.
Next time for the crotch seams I highly recommend folding a pair of pants that fit in half frontwise and backwise and tracing the curves!
I approach figuring out patterns just like you do, so tracing did not occur to me immediately either, but I tried it for my split side wrap pants and it was definitely more effective than my usual theoretical math from measurements and a french curve.
Came for the pockets, subscribed for the chaos
1. I'm so making these!!!!! 2. I didn't know anyone else shared my creative process!! We're soulmates!
When you were talking about your concert taste, my first thought was... you would love watching The Ten Tenors.
I hope a pattern comes out of this because this is exactly what I have been looking for!
Drafting your own patterns are definitely the way to go, especially if you are not the size patterns are made for.
5:20 So, I love pockets. One of my project lists is to add pockets to every pair of pants. However, I HAVE to put my keys in the same pocket of my purse every time. I only found this out after locking myself out of my truck.... at least twice. Everything else, free for all. Also, I rarely go out to mass human-ing events so I constantly forget about the clear bag policy as well.
Yeah, same issue, different expression. The car key lives on a carabiner that gets clipped to a belt loop or belt, otherwise Bad Things Happen, we only have the one key right now.
Super enjoying the pockets inside of pockets ♥
So cute!!!!
Yay! Giant secret pants with giant pockets!
I made myself a pair a few months ago with an adjustable waist by modifying a simplicity palazzo pants pattern. I need to embiggen the pockets, though, because I underestimated when i cut them out.
I finally got the motivation to sew my first ever knit skirt, so thanks for that!
great outfit--especially the pants!! the belt is the perfect solution--the black looks great with the trim on the top. and who doesn't love 18th century size pockets adapted for 2023 lip balm and cell phones? awesome!!
When you said,”Early is on time…” I responded with, “Welcome to the theater” My tendency is to be more than punctual when others are involved, but likely to put off my own projects!
LMBO I clicked as soon as I saw the Maksy patented "secret pants." You and hubby are vibing both artists sing Yellow Brick Road. The outfit looks soooo good. Bravo.
I agree.
Early = on time😊
On time = late😢
Late = panic attack 😫
Secret pants! The most secretive pants I have ever seen were worn by Joan Bennett in The Woman in the Window from 1944. I have the fabric I want to use, but I haven't found the right pattern yet. I've been wondering if I need to adjust the grainline, or not use a complete circle -- at any rate.
YAY! SECRET PANTS!! SEWN IN NEW HOUSE!!! YAY!!
You, my dear, are an absolute GENIUS!!!! I would have never thought to put pockets on my pocket!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I've been wanting to make some pants like these for ages & now I can. I have no idea how you figured out the math....even after listening several times because my brain does just not math, BUT, I can lay out a pair of all ready existing pants & go from there. Thank you so much for being on UA-cam. Absolutely LOVE your channel! 💖💖💖 But you couldn't pay me to go to a concert like that! I'm with you on the venues: orchestras, ballets, operas, Broadway, etc. But I also don't like this type of music or that many people in one place. Glad you had fun, though ☺☺☺
You could just overcast/zigzag the edges, but French seams are a very nice touch.
I love those pants! I am not a fancy dress woman but those pants look like a luxery skirt and with the right top and some kind of waistband over it, I could make it look like a fancy dress!
I am totally with you on taking forever to make appointments. I'm going on 10 years for a dentist, and it regularly takes me at least a month to schedule a hair appointment. Also, I am so glad women are discovering the joys of pocket pockets.
Oh my god the dentist.... I've been pretending that doesn't exist basically since my mom stopped scheduling appointments for us. So childhood. Yoiks! XD
You pour together such a cute outfit. Circle hems are long but that outfit was... gorgeous! I'm so here for it with the giant pockets.
Ngl, when I first came across your circle skirt pattern, I bookmarked it to do exactly this! I'm genderqueer, and for my (potential) future wedding, I wanted something that could look flowy and dress like while also definitely being pants, so the fact that you're doing this now is so exciting to me! 💕💕
1) this is the first time in a very long time I didn't skip the sponsor part because it was so... unusual? i just Had to know what it was about
2) SECRET PANTS!!!!
3) the pockets inisde the pockets is a genius idea and I'm totally puttin it in my sewing tips list.
Holy crap I was NOT expecting Matt to work with Beyonce, that is amazing! Although from the amazing view you had and the camera work I was definitely wondering until you confirmed it lol.
I LOVE those pants! I would wear them in a heartbeat! I don't have faith in my own skills to make them myself, but so happy you have them. Yay for you!
..I mean. 3 days for sewing an outfit is to me a crazy short time. I can feel my stress levels rising just thinking about it.
I had to comment on the sponsor segment. It was too funny and I actually paid attention to the whole spiel.
My favorite shows atm : The stitchery and Ahsoka. Perfect!
Aw thank you!!
I couldn’t wear those pants however I love the idea of pockets in pockets.
I want to make something like this now. I probably need to get fabric, though. I technically might have enough if I used this coral stripy fabric or if I pieced a lot of fabric together, but I don't like that fabric. Wait, I do have some nice blue fabric, which might be enough.
I've had luck with keeping track of what gets attached to what, by using large chalk letters. FL - front Left. Etc. Ensuring the letters are the same way up as the text on the pattern piece/ correct side up on the body. (On the wrong side generally. So if I opt not to wash the garment before wearing, it's hidden.)
I like chalk, because I'm talking bum-pocket-sized letters.
And if the right and wrong side of the fabric are at all similar, the large chalk marks on the side you've decided is the "wrong side" save guessing.
Also: If you're choosing mock up fabric/sheets etc, you may wish to choose a fabric with a print for this reason. I have 3 more yards of violet broadcloth I bought very affordably for mockups. The colour brings me joy. Chalk shows up well on it. I have to be very careful to mark my right and wrong sides - or troubleshooting where I went wrong can be far more complex than necessary.
I relate so much to the deadline procrastination stuff
Loving your channel, your personality and your sense of humor 😍 I’m hooked!!
Lol yeah, when you said large pockets AND pockets within pockets, I was like you’re going to need something stable and not stretchy to hold that up lol. Crop top is not my style but it looks great on you and I love the pants ❤❤❤
Love the pant/skirt, and the top, too! I am too old (and a bit of my blubber-nuggets would show) for that style. Does not mean I cannot make them for my daughters and granddaughters, right? You are beautiful and wonderful for sharing. Glad that you had a great time. Oh, and I want to hijack your pocket idea.
We have similar tastes in entertainment. I love opera 😅
“And then we Wing it. Yay! 😁” Love that.
I never hold a purse anymore. I wear a lot of big flowy dresses, so it allows me to wear bloomers with huge pockets that I make myself underneath. I Just love the looks on people's faces when I just start taking out stuff from under there 🤣
I sometimes use pocket placement as hip improvers, otherwise I'm a bit columnnar :)
I have made the same mistake with my pants having too big of a crotch or going the other direction and now having a plumber issue. Glad you got to have a good time. Love the top!
Heh, at least the plumber issue can be solved by cutting the crotch deeper, I've made that mistake before... or adding a wide waistband...
You are such a breath of fresh air!!
I’m glad you had fun and your outfit rocks ❤️
Your captions are fantastic and convey the chaos and sarcasm that you have in your grumbling sounds and such. Thank you!! Also the end "that royalty free theme music again" had me ROLLING. and yes I am going through and watching all your previous content because I like your vibe.
So cool! I've been trying to make EXACTLY these pants forever. I'm a total novice and my main problem is figuring out how to hem them (or a full circle skirt for that matter) so it's not uneven and the inseam isn't stupidly long.
These were way easier to hem with the help of a dress form - I think to get the hem really even you kinda need them on something, so if you don't have a dress form, getting a friend to pin them up while you wear them (or wear them while you pin if they are a similar height) would be super helpful!
"I can go back to doom scrolling from the comfort of my couch, where my legs won't go completely numb."
If you know, you know.😂
Love your honesty.
Interestingly, the 2" at the front and 5" at the back you use for your crotch curve are actually the recommended numbers for people making their own patterns.
Ha! Look at me managing to do it the normal way without even knowing! XD
First timer here… I like your attitude. It mirrors mine 😂
Welcome!
OMG!!! Secret pants AND dreamy pockets!!!!
I had been trying to work out what a Renaissance concert was. I was sadly very very wrong. Those pants are awesome though!
Love the pants. This outfit looked so good on you. I bet the concert was a blast.
I love the outfit you made and I want to make that same outfit
The outfit is totally gorgeous. I would have had a heart attack at the prospect of being in a crowd that size, even before Covid.
I know you love Rachel Maksy and I feel like you would get along swimmingly.
Pockets IN pockets!!!!!! GENIUS!
I have never wanted pants so much in my life. Oh my gosh like if I made them as cropped pants they would look like a midi skirt and omg.
Add a drawstring. The elastic keeps the gathers even etc., but the drawstring will keep the weight from pulling the pant down.
Oh yes, I haven't seen the video yet, but it is a video from you, so I love it 🥰
This actually is my first time here but I do my projects similar to you and I love this video!
I need to watch your other pocket related videos.
Because I am a pocket lover, too.
I do them with zippers and with velcro.
I add them to second hand clothes.
I make them bigger in existing clothes from my wardrobe.
I think you have made the perfect pair of pants. I love Palazzo pants, and those pockets are amazing. These are going on my to-do list.
Link's blooper sploot was so cute😂❤
Definitely thought you were talking about the 70's band Renaissance LOL
