How to sew side seam pockets (as an extra option) - ua-cam.com/video/T7hMtRx3jyE/v-deo.html EASY PALAZZO PANTS - Sewing/drafting of GREEN PANTS - ua-cam.com/video/mlkre-RPTlg/v-deo.html
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you. I have wanted to learn how to sew clothing ever since I was a kid. However, I was always afraid I could never do it. I stumbled across this video the day it came out and the tutorial seemed like it would be so easy. I decided to give it a try, I always get so hot in the summer and have a hard time finding shorts that work well for my long legs and don't chafe. I was actually able to draft the pattern and make them! These are seriously the most comfortable shorts I have ever had and I can't wait to experiment with different fabrics. Thank you so much!
Excellent instructions, really professional looking shorts, the little tips on angling the front and back waistband really make all the difference And showing just how to measure correctly. I’ve made these in flannel, tartan wool and stretch jersey viscose for PJ’s all are so well fitting comfy. First shorts I’ve made that don’t look home sewn......... thank you so much.
This video contains all the details I have been looking for for months 😩 The pocket, the elastic waist band, the gather elastic part.. just everything I wanted in one video. Thanks for this great tutorial 🙏🏽❤️
Your tutorials are so motivating for novices or those getting back to sewing now as an adult from our teen years! For me I will not share that time! I always loved sewing especially when I was overseas. As an active duty Army medical, I am now retired after twenty years, during my pregnancy and working clinics there were no really ease access for scrubs to just nice office wear for me. So, I took a PJ pattern and made my two piece top and bottom for my time being pregnant. I was amazing with the reviews I had gotten. I just adjust sleeves to neck line or color with same pattern to make additional outfits. So it was so great going on the local market and picking out materials. One material for a summer outfit and not for work I found a nice sheet that was gorgeous to use! No one ever new.
I've been drafting & sewing shorts for YEARS and never end up with a decent fit (plus size). this time I followed your instructions and added/removed just a bit more to allow for plus size. My shorts are absolutely PERFECT for the first time ever! You are wonderful and I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Love and hugs from Waiheke island, New Zealand.😁
I'd like to give you a double thumbs up on this video because you explain the whole process of drafting and making these shorts so thoroughly that even a beginner (at least for pant type sewing) can follow your pattern and end up with shorts we can wear. Unfortunately, UA-cam doesn't have a way to express more than a single thumbs up. And thank you for including pockets large enough to be useful. I am now a new subscriber, and it only took one video.
Thank you! I can now measure my rise! And I can make under dresses shorts for this summer! And to think I watched this in the Feb snowstorm of 2023. I love UA-cam sewing videos, and you are in my top 5 channels.
Thank you so much for this. I’m slim and in proportion but 6’2” so getting any clothes that fit really well can only be done by making them myself or spending a fortune that I don’t have. When I was a young teenager I had to make all my trousers because I simply couldn’t buy them to fit. I’m moving back to making my own now that I’m retired and have the time so this channel is a real help. Thank you again. 😁
I am so glad you found this and thank you for taking me on your sewing journey! I hope this will help you on your quest + there is a full Members mini series for drafting and understanding pants, here's one of the videos - ua-cam.com/video/Z3nUZ6zkarE/v-deo.html
I made these today! I used a fabric that has been used to cover an ottoman, and to cover the rest on my knee scooter. I found a good size piece of the fabric hidden in my stash. It was going to be a test pattern. I only had enough for one side. For reasons I have forgotten. It was 2 identical pieces sewn RS together in a rectangle. I had enough to do the test pattern! I love the elastic gathered at the top . I tried them on … I love them!!! They fit perfectly. Love them to bits! Thank-you!!!!!
THAT'S AWESOME! I figured you would want to try these shorts as I saw you in the shorts in one of the pictures :) yayayaya - so happy that you're happy :)
I am liking the idea of shorts now! I was also thinking that I could use the technique for making adjustments on pant patterns I own that I’ve been reluctant to make due to getting the fit just right!
I made these and they came out great! I made one alteration. I added 4 extra inches to the height of the original rectangle compensate for my larger belly and backside. This allowed a 1.5" waist band to already be attached. I folded over the top edge and turned under 1/2 inch to sew down. The waistband was 1 inch wide.
Angela, hello there and thank you for letting me know - I am so happy that your project came out great! Eeek, nothing better than a great sewing experience :) here's a video about making palazzo pants that will help you will help you with turning these shorts into pants :) ua-cam.com/video/mlkre-RPTlg/v-deo.html
I'm halfway through the shorts just have to do the waistband! So excited to try these. I used my serger for everything except the understitching, and the waistband ruffle. This what it looked like you did as well in the video. This is my first "serger" project. I really enjoyed your video and the Instructions. I had been doing some pretty serious sewing and I had a burnout on a pair of pants that I couldn't get to fit right with the facing. That was before spring I just now got my sew-jo back.
Thank you so much for including instructions on how to take measurements and trace a pattern. I've seen other tutorials where they start from a pair of shorts but I don't have any. Edit: They came out awesome!
Thank you so much Alisa. I have just made the most comfortable pair of shorts ever! And even better than that I have made my own pattern 😊 I’m beyond happy. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your skills and knowledge 🤗
So nice to find someone who sews like I do, so many people won't draft as well. These are ace and will make excellent pajamas and trousers, can't wait to start!
I have never been a good sewer, and I have always struggled with patterns, so I decided to make these shorts. You inspired me to tackle my fears and just dive in. Let me say that it took me 8.5-9 hours, not 1. Having made a pair, I can see some things I did wrong that slowed me down or were somehow mis-measured, and hopefully by the time I've made it a few more times I'll be faster. :-) Also, I'd like to mention for newbies like me that I used a t-shirt weight knit, and it was hard to work with because its edges kept rolling up. I should have used a little heavier fabric. But I love the series and seeing how you break down the measuring and drafting does help me understand what's going on. Thank you!!!
It is straightforward! I’m making these tomorrow. I can’t wait. I think that I’ll make them a little longer-I can wear them to work. I teach kindergarten in South Carolina. It will still be very hot when we return to school. With the right materials, I think they would be cool and still look professional. I do a lot of bending over, kneeling, and sitting on the floor-perfect! Thank you👍
I finally gave this a try and they turned out great! I used two old t-shirts with different color to make a pair of colorblock shorts. If I messed up, they can be my pajama shorts. I cut the front and back pieces from the bottom portion of t-shirts so I don't need to hem at the end ☺️. I then cut 4 pieces of waistband from the top portion of t-shirts so waistband is also color-blocked. I just love this pattern. You make it so easy to follow. The sewing instruction is detailed and clear. Thank you very much!!!
hi from Ireland I have just drafted the shorts and made them oh my god I am so chuffed they ate perfect thank u Alisa ur tutorial so easy to follow I'm of to do the basic bodice now 👍
hi alisa followed your instructions and I have just made a top from your basic woven bodice and sleeve it is perfect except for the neckline it is like there is too much fabric in the shoulder at the neckline its riding up can you advice me which of my measurements I got wrong that would cause this thank you
from what you said I would assume you just need to shorten the high point shoulder measurement of the front piece, or play around with overall shoulder slope. But I would see of my front pattern piece high point shoulder is a bit too high :)
also, not sure if you saw that in the video - but if you have bust on a larger side - a dart is a must as it is extremely tricky to make a woven bodice block without darts that is not a straight cut rectangle, but still - play around with the measurement I mentioned above and the tutorial for bodice block with darts will be out soon!
Your tutorials r always based on logical facts and u maintain the quality of every garment what u create here..I love ur teaching methods.❤❤God bless u!💕
I made these shorts from a left over jersy exactly following your instructions and they are absolutely perfect! They fit beautifully, super comfy. Thank you so much for your good instructions! Now, I'll try the T-shirts and a hoodie 😁 (oh, and I put in an elastic into the waist following you video on hems - brilliant! So happy I found your videos)
I love to rewatch your videos. I see something new each time I watch them. I want to make this pattern into a pair of of culottes for summer. Thank you.
Alisa, ADORABLE! I the process of a major move so no time to sew. Therefore, so thankfully glade your videos remain available. Thank you. Love the print you chose.
Thanks a lot again! You are the born teacher. I have been sewing a long time (teaching myself) but it's the little things that become clear by you. Love Uta
Loved that tutorial! I have never stitched shorts but will try some day.You have such an inspiring & an uplifting voice that I simply love.Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this very clear tutorial. The key is in getting the initial measurements. I’m going to try these in linen, but I want to just add 2” to fold over the waist rather than adding a waistband. I’ll just have to add a patch pocket or two to cut out the bulk at the hips. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
Oh my goodness Alisa. You are a Darling Girl. This pattern is so beautiful. And again you made it looks so easy. I’m off to the Fabric shop tomorrow. I’m just so darn happy.🤪🤪 I’ll be making quite a few for myself. Thanks again Alisa, you sure aim to please us sewers. 🍸❤️💋🇨🇦
❤ I’m going to give this a go as I have difficulty finding shorts to fit me and also a lot are short lengths and I want knee length to cover my thunder thighs. Thank you ❤
Pattern drafting portion was exceptional. I really think I may be able to draft a Pattern for a pair of shorts/culottes. However your fabric which looked gorgeous seemed to be the same on right and wrong sides. This made it difficult to see exactly what you were explaining at times. But perhaps it was just me and no one else had this problem. Drafting the pattern, I believe anyone could follow your tutorial. I am not so sure beginners could sew them as easily. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I am so glad I found your channel.
Hello there, glad to have you here! Thank you for your feedback. No, the fabric has two distinct sides - right and wrong side, one is darker, the other is lighter. As long as people replay the video, stop it if needed and make notes if they need to + don't forget to think logically = everything is possible.
Thank you so much! You were very good about showing everything we needed. I did not know about taking measurements from the sitting position plus the amount of taken off or added. So.. THANK YOU!❣❣💯
Thank you so much for this video ! 🙏 It is so nicely explained in an easy way and I have been looking for a pattern for shorts that will fit, and I really think this is it ! Your voice is so soothing and easy to listen to. I am definitely going to do this, and have already cut out the pattern for the back of the shorts. Not sure I'll be able to make it in an hour, but that's not so important ! Many thanks for sharing, very best wishes 🤗☺
Thank uou from England, i cant find shorts for my long legs, so im going to make some that noone else will have for r my holiday on tuesday. A huge thank you , you made an impossible situation possible for me ❤❤❤
I'm glad to have found your channel Lisa. Thank you for sharing your passion.I' m a beginner and don't know much about sewing but I'm interested in learning. I've signed up as a member.
thank you for this video! I always wanted to make shorts that have the length I like, but was so intimidated. you're instructions are so clear and easy, thank you!!
This video is fabulous. I am making a romper and I am a novice sewer. I was struggling to do the shorts part, this video details what I need to do perfectly. Thank you so much. Will definetly subscribe and check out your other videos.
Good Morning, I made these shorts yesterday following your instructions, which are so easy to follow. The only problem I have is that the leg is to wide, can you tell me how to make them narrower. Thank you, you are such a joy to watch
Hello there, I have a simple pants drafting series on my channel - you will see there how to make the legs narrow and so many other useful things so that way you can use this pattern again and again and modify it, so you can make beautiful garments.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Good Morning, thank you for the extra information. I went back and looked over my pattern and was able to readjust it and the legs are now alot better. Thank you for the help. Have a great day
Thank you so much for this! I love your tutorials and I have now made my first ever piece of clothing! I love my shorts - they are so comfy and I am so thrilled that I can do this thanks to you xo
These are great comfortable shorts! Took me longer than an hour to make though LOL! I think my next pair will sit on my hips rather than waist. Thank you for such a great tutorial!
Janice, thank you for sharing with us and great to hear that you love these! This is such a versatile piece and as you said, you can play around with where you want them to sit!

These are great comfortable shorts! Took me longer than an hour to make though LOL! I think my next pair will sit on my hips rather than waist. Thank you for such a great tutorial!
