Are you tired of trousers that just don’t fit right? Are you afraid of sewing pants that are fitted with no elastic waist? Join me as I share my top tips for mastering sewing and fitting trouser! In this video, we’ll cover measuring your body accurately and how to make pattern adjustments for a flawless fit. Say goodbye to ill-fitting pants and hello to your new favorite pair! I am sewing the Thea Trousers by Tilly and the Buttons. It is a high waisted trouser pants pattern with a wide leg and a zip fly closure. The instructions for adding the zip fly are wonderful and easy to follow. In part one I take you through selecting size, and various measurements to take to fine tune your fit. I will show you how to add length to the back of your pattern piece using the slash and spread method.
