A Thought: Sewing Pants Course For Unique Body

Simple Knowledge

I have twins who have a quite unique body. While people might think, big body is unique, I think thin people’s body is also unique.

My twins unique body part is the leg. Their legs are so long but thin. It’s difficult to find proper pants for them. Most of times, the waist is too big but the length is ok or vice versa.  First, I still could find proper pants that fit them well, but more they grow up, it became problem. I also hesitate to take them from store to store. Trying lots of pants. Since I can sew, I then sew it.

 

Is it difficult to sew pants for long-thin leg characteristic?

I made pattern from scratch. I prefer this way because I can understand myself how the pattern is made. Yet, there are many tutorial about adjusting market pattern, too. For me, it is difficult to adjust pattern which I don’t make it myself.

I think a sewer need to take a course and experience many formulas for pants. I took course and learned from books. I have experienced many self-made-pants-patterns (formula). Even though finally I use (formula) pattern from a book, I also keep my other sources. Just don’t be lazy and asking pattern from people but you never try it either or keep trying to get “free-course” by asking on internet. You can’t expect free-course can enlighten you. Knowledge and how it’s taught always have price.

Sewing technique also can be learned from course, yet, I have my own way. Sewing course is really important for newbie to get a good and standard knowledge about sewing; in this case, pants sewing. Whether they teach you making patterns from zero or adjusting market-pattern, it’s important.

Actually youtube has many videos about sewing pants but in my opinion, taking a course is still a must.
