Tweed trousers in ONE day - sewing proper pants fast

Just shows that you know what you're doing and the resulting garment is a credit to you. Looks good and fits well. Stay safe. Sending best wishes from Down Under 👋🇦🇺😎

Buttonholes are just tedious

Those pants were fly

They are lovely, very dapper.

Is your sewing machine a Singer 401G? 403A? You never have a straight on shot! :p

does your book come in english?

Guten Tag, ist eine Neuauflage ihres Buches wirklich ausgeschlossen?

Would you or have you already done a full tutorial on how you made these as I would love to make my partner a pair

I made a pair of brown trousers in 8 hours because I hyperfixated and that's just how it worked out

Good video and nice trousers. I bought 70 year old wool plaid fabric from a bazaar as I loved the fabric. The original receipt from 1952 was attached. Also the fabric is very thick. Then I decided to make trousers out of it using a vintage pattern - though I never made trousers before. I pretty much decided to skip rear pockets and belt keepers. I do not use rear pockets and felt it would be much too difficult for me to get them right especially given how thick this fabric is. For the waist I plan adding side adjusters as I have two spare side adjusters. This pair shows they can look fine without rear pockets. The inseam pockets save time too. I guess that just means the front pieces need to be about 5-6 cms wider at the top. Is it easier to sew a zip fly, or a button fly? I recently finished a pair of simple cotton shorts which included my first zip and first button hole. The zip was not too difficult and it seemed like the one buttonhole gave me more trouble.

Does anyone know if he has ever mentioned possibly publishing the English version of his book physically? I know you can get it as an ebook, but something about the act of crafting makes me want to consult physical resources.

First time on your channel - and i was SO excited to see you make the same rookie mistake we have all made! Allowing others to see professionals are also human is so refreshing! But SO impressive! I have made pants just like these for my son, with buttons...but i seem to remember it taking a whole afternoon to do just the fly and buttons, as I had never done it before and I was just sewing by looking at existing pants. amazing.

Brilliant, very much looking forward to the waistcoat piece.

Absolutely sublime, the trousers look brilliant! makes me think I may need a new pair of trousers for my trip to the Netherlands next week 🤔

If you think things shouldn't be rushed, you should definitely not watch the great British sewing bee 😂😂

The trousers chapter isn't on sale individually?

Beautiful!

Ha! Fight of the Bumblebee is sometimes exactly how it feels! Trousers turned out great!

I need to take a sewing class.

On my wardrobe making journey I've discovered men's trouser patterns are far superior to women's patterns. Female patterns seem cut merely to show off the curves without considering whether this makes a practical active garment. Ive now got a McColls mens "costume" pattern and the trousers fit me (female) much better than the one for women I tried before. As I said to my mum, I want trousers I can do things in,not just for showing off my ar$e!

That tweed would be so uncomfortable on me without a lining. Props to you for having less tactile aversions than me.

So excited for the waistcoat

I wanna cry. It's so delightful ❤️❤️❤️ lovely greetings from cologne

You did a great job.Well done.

Impressed

Could you adapt this pattern for fish tail jeans?

Fantastic

Fantastic!

I love these Trousers, from the UK

Forget about where you find your fabrics...where do you get your mustache wax??

I love the tweed you found. It will be interesting to see if you did make a vest/waistcoat out of the remaining fabric.

Taap

Excellent. Following every video.

👌👌👌

Very nice!!!!

You should be as Overly Dramamtic as you Please. Those look great.

I'd price those at $350 labor and reasonable materials, for a quality pair of pants, hand made, that fit well and look great, that's a steal. 1/4 the price of a pair from a bespoke tailor and you get the satisfaction of having made them yourself.

pants speedrun...

WOW. Very impressive. I dabbled a little in sewing when I was in 9th grade and made some dresses and some shorts. But I'd like to learn to sew properly. So impressed by those who know how to sew. Great job here!

Great video! I have started getting interested in making my own clothes, and I am interested in the book from which you did the draft. Is there an English version? Thanks for the great content.

Good job 👍💪❤

Für übereilt, echt sagenhaft gelungen. Der (angebliche 🙂) Fehler ist überhaupt nicht bemerkbar, und es war für mich gar nicht nachvollziehbar worin der Fehler eigentlich hat bestehen sollen. Vielleicht könntest Du das mal separat erörtern. Aber alles in allem, äußerst beeindruckend!! Danke für die Video!!

where might I purchase the pattern weights you use?

My father was a Tailor & my mother a really great seamstress.
Now that I am a LOT older, for some reason, I’ve got the desire to buy a sewing machine & learn to make a pair of pants, at least to start!
I really enjoyed the video & the pants style (just no pleats for me) how difficult is it in your estimation for a COMPLETE beginner?

excellent!

I just bought a pair of high waisted wool blend pleated pants off eBay and they were from about 3-4 years ago. But what was disappointing was the loose knit wool blend fabric and kind of like a sweater material that piles up easy.

I was ready to get a few pleated pants and my first one I didn’t expect the cheaper wool blended fabric that piles up easy. I mean decades ago, even buying low end wool pleated pants, the fabric would be mostly wool and a tigher suit like fabric.

So now with fast fashions, you get the look of expensive clothing, but made out of cheaper fabrics. Which is annoying bc I’m a boomer and been into clothing since the early 80’s and quality meant also great fabrics and not just mimic great fabrics.

Also, do you still crease pleated pants or leave without a crease?

Nice job making your own pants! I’m always amazed at how clothing is made and how some can make it so easily. Bc it seems so much details go into making clothes or well made clothes.

awesome, love old fashion.... wish you could teach us how to draw and cut the pattern. 🤩

Thank you,for sharing.
Your skill and philosophy amazed me.
❤👍

I don't like those pant's Kind of gay looking..

Did you ever make something in one day and later thought you should have taken the time? :D
