Math is wrong and definitely won't work for people using stretchier fabric. If elongation is 125%, you don't subtract 25% from the measurement... That will make it too small. It stretched from 10 to 12.5cm, so the percentage you multiply your measurements should be 80% (10÷12.5=0.8). The fabric I'm using has 140% elongation, but if I subtracted 40% my pattern would be way too small. The percentage to multiply the measurements in my case is 72% (rounding up from 10÷14=0.71428...). This way, when you multiply the pattern measurement by the stretch of your fabric, it will match your measurements.
Great tutorial. Pattern making for stretch fabrics is not my strong suit. And I didnt knew how to calculate measurements for stretch fabrics. Your tutorial was very clear and informative.
Wow, I'm impressed by this production! You explained the patterning in a way that made me feel confident in doing it myself. The only problem I may have is the stretch stitch: I need to learn more about my sewing machine.
Hi, my dear! Thank you so much for your kind words. It really made my day. If your machine has a zigzag stitch, then you're good to go! But if you'd like, you can send me a DM on Instagram with a photo of your machine, so we can figure it out together!
Thank you for such a well presented video. I am looking to make a pair of yoga pants (with a flared hemline) and feel I can tackle this project after watching your tutorial. I have done some pattern drafting (mainly tops) so this has really helped me to see what needs to be done.

Thank you, my dear! When you're sewing with woven fabrics that don't have any stretch, the seam allowance is extremely necessary, because otherwise the garment won't even fit. But for knits with high elasticity, like the ones we use for workout clothes, the ease the fabric gives is usually already enough. People with different measurements sometimes can use the same garment because of it. If you prefer you can add seam allowance all around, but it's not strictly necessary when it comes to leggings, thanks to the huge amount os stretch it has. But if you reduce the measurement too much when pattern drafting it might be a problem!
@@coralinestreet Thanks for your answer. I don't work with a lot of super stretchy fabrics often. I drafted mine using my measurements without subtracting for ease. Then sewed at 1/2 inch seam allowance. It worked well!
Hi I am drafting my pattern on the vertical measurements do you still take ie 25% off for the waist to knee and waist to ankle? Won’t this make them too short?
I think it depends on the fabric. When I made it for the first time quite a while ago, I didn't reduce it, and it was sooo long on me! The waistline was almost hitting my chest 😂. So I had to cut the bottom and the top quite a bit and reattach the waistband. When I remade the pattern reducing it, it fit really well on the first try. But when I tried making it with a specific green color (I bought all the fabric from the same seller, only one of them was different) it was too short and tight, and the waistline didn't hit my waist, even though I was supposingly using the same fabric. So if you're afraid it's going to be too short, you can make it without reducing it vertically, and test it out. If it's too long on you, you can trim it. But in the end it really depends on your fabric. The differences in stretch can alter the end result quite a bit. So it's always good to test it out first.
@@coralinestreet I see ok thank you for helping me out 😁and explaining what happened to you that helps loads. It’s a great tutorial simple and easy to understand not too scary. Take care x

You're welcome, my dear! I'm really glad I was able to help
I was so confused to see portuguese in this video, I thought my English was so good that I didn't even had to try reading it
😂

Txs but Pls wheach fabric this
Amazing video 😊, please why did you divide the back crotch by 8 instead of 10
Why didn’t you use the waist measurement the 48cm? And Thanks for the tutorial ^^
oie, você tem ainda o link de onde comprou o tecido? 2:15
Great tutorial! I'm just wondering why you didn't add seam allowance.
Thank you, my dear!

@@grittyinpink16 I'm really happy to know everything worked out
Wouldn't reducing all the vertical measurements make the leggings too short? Especially the waist-ankle measurement
Thank you!! ❤ I’m going to start making leggings for my daughter she is growing too fast😢
You're welcome 💜
