Has anyone had the issue with the notch missing on piece #2 resolved? With all the stretch, I'm not sure where to pin without that notch. Or could we get a measurement of where the notch is supposed to be on the pattern piece. Thank you!
I will look into this!
I love your patterns Gertie, but these pocket stay things are the most annoying twisty madness that I have ever dealt with in sewing.
Is it me or does the pant pocket side piece not have a notch to line it up properly at the waist?
I finally made a pair of these pants. I love the fabric and most of the fit however; the fit between the waist and the crotch is way too long for me. I see a crotch length adjustment line but I have never adjusted a pattern so I am not sure how to fix this. Is it a crotch adjustment I need to google? I have found a video but it is just adjusting the crotch front to back. I have completed these pants so I can't really cut a line in the middle of them now. I wonder if I can just take off the band and pockets and adjust from the top down and try to adjust the band for the new waistline? Or do I just start over.....UGH! I hope I am being clear to my problem. I am new at sewing clothes. I'm mostly a bag maker. I am a confident newbie at clothes. I just love the feel of these pants and I want to be able to wear them. Thanks in advance!
Ooh, currently working on my first pair and I just love how all the pieces fit petfectly togheter, so satisfying
Any advice on how to approach grading sizes for a larger waist? My hips and thigh fir one size but I need a size up in the waist. I’m unsure if I should accommodate that by making the dart smaller and cutting a larger waistband or grading the pattern pieces (front, back, pocket stay, and pocket front) from a larger to smaller size near the waistline. Has anyone else made this adjustment?
Check out the fit clinic part 1
Just picked up some brick red stretch velvet...not something I normally buy, so I'm excited to try these out! And....it always interests me to hear the things in the background if I wear earbuds to watch lol...this time it was sirens! But I also realized how calming the sound of cutting fabric is! :D
I know the pattern calls for fusible interfacing - out of curiosity, what do you suggest for making these pants in stretch velvet (i love this idea)? Velvet and fusibles don't tend to mix well.
There seems to be a notch missing at piece number 2 at the top. Can we get a picture of the placement or a measurement of where that notch should be? This is for the step that’s around 25 minutes in.
Closer to 24 min. That pocket piece shows a notch cut. But I assume if everything lays flat that the way that lines up should be fine?
@Gertie Do you have any suggestions on type of elastic? I know there is braided elastic, knit elastic, woven elastic... Do any of them work, do you have a preference? Essentially is there a difference (presumably there is) but what is the difference?
I just looked at the fabric that you used for the red capris and it says that it has 30% stretch. Did you adjust the size of the pattern you used or did you find that it had enough stretch to go with the suggested size on the chart?
Thank you! 🥰
Is it just me or does the link for the pink ponte (used in video) not work? It’s the perfect pink!
That’s weird, I don’t see an issue with it. Anyway, here’s a link to it! 💕 https://www.bandjfabrics.com/fabric/lightweight-rayon-blend-ponte-knit-fuchsia
This is definitely a year round make 💙💙💙
I can’t wait to make a pair of these!!
I’m probably only going to make a hundred or so. 🤩
There is an oopsie in the video. You show how to sew on the waistband twice.
Whoops! Sorry about that. We’ll fix it asap.
How do these differ from the Cigarette Pants from the book? It's for science.
Book had slant pockets, zip back, woven to light stretch fabrics. New pattern has Capri variation, elastic waist, curved pockets, moderate stretch fabric. They are possibly also different pattern/body blocks
OHHHHHHH HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THank You!!!!!!!!!
Is it for stretch woven or for knits?
So the pockets are what makes this design different from the cigarette pants pattern in the GSVC book?
No it’s also that it’s meant for a stretch fabric, the elastic waistband, the fit and more :) It’s a totally different pattern ❤️
The match point area sewing that you’re looking for a term for reminds me of those paper fortune tellers we’d fold in school lol
I think we’ve landed on the term “butterfly wings point” 😂
Would the capris look okay without the lacing?
Sure! They’ll have the shaped hem and slit which would look great even without lacing
They look great, but I am a bit sad it's another knit fabric... They are not that easy to source.
Oh, I already want to do, use and feel wonderful and free. Gratitude!
OMG at last the pants of my dreams
Loooove these so much!!!
i’m going to make these for my walking trousers! i will also need that peasant blouse kthxbai
If it's the white one you mean, I believe that's the Skipper top!
BRB, running to get fabric so I can make these as soon as humanly possible
Wow, I was hoping for it but I thought it would be too obvious from the hint and too good to be true <3 Exactly what I just needed, cigarette pants! <3
Haha I love that I threw you guys off the scent with a super obvious clue! So sneaky 😂
These look comfortable AND glamorous. Ordering stretch velvet now 😍
