For today's video I’m recreating one of my favorite pairs of pants (a cropped, wide-leg pair I bought while I was in London) and drafting the pattern from scratch using my own body measurements. This project came at a moment where I was feeling pretty burned out creatively, and I really needed something that made me feel excited again. Pants have always been difficult for me to fit, so the idea of finally making pants that actually fit my body felt both intimidating and motivating. This isn’t meant to be a super detailed step-by-step tutorial for every single technique, but more of a “come with me while I figure this out” kind of project. I’ve linked extra resources below for things like the fly construction and for the pants block pattern making tutorial. If you’ve ever struggled with pants fit, or felt intimidated by drafting your own patterns, I hope this makes the process feel a little more approachable! And thank you so much for being here and for all the kind comments you guys left on my last video. They genuinely meant more than you know s2 Resources mentioned: @Dresspatternmaking https://www.youtube.com/@Dresspatternmaking Pants Block Drafting Playlist: https://youtu.be/2tUM0mRBjac?si=0LqxltvW90g5YlbL Drafting Custom Pants PDF (Imperial Version, Second Edition February 2025):
