Get my FREE PATTERNS when you sign up for my newsletter: https://www.lydianaomi.com/signup If you want to make all types of pants this summer its helpful to create a basic pattern foundation (Pant/Trouser Block) that fits YOUR unique body shape perfectly! I am taking you through the trouser block creation, your ticket to all kinds of styles of diy pants. I am referencing my fashion school textbook Pattern Making for Fashion Design by Helen-Joseph Armstrong. I referenced the trouser foundation on page 573. I have altered its directions based on my personal experience and what I think will be more understandable for you. https://www.amazon.ca/Patternmaking-Fashion-Design-Joseph-Armstrong (It's a textbook so its pricey, I just got the kindle version which is way more affordable) Dart intake chart from Pattern Making for Fashion Design by Helen-Joseph Armstrong: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A4T0g4FDc2ThZWVS_XtbggZnCJWPjcts/view?usp=sharing I also referenced Alexandra Morgan's hipline dip tip ;) She has a lot of comprehensive tutorials for fitting pants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k1rX_uCEsQ I hope you enjoy!
