Hi everyone, my name is Nuria and this is Mastering Journey.

And for today's video, I'm bringing you something I've been working on for a long time and it's trouser fitting issues.

There's a lot to cover,

so I've decided to split the content into two different videos.

One for body-specific issues, things that you can change before you make the first prototype.

And a second video that is going to be once you have the first prototype

and the second and the third and the etc. Things you can fix once you're in the prototyping phase.

And if you want to know more about it,

I have a cheat sheet with everything for both videos on my website.

You can go and check it out.

And if you're interested in learning everything you need to know to design trouser patterns,

I'm writing an ebook and you can join the waitlist now to get notified when it comes out.

But without further ado, let's get into the content of this video.

First things first, we're going to look into the initial checks.

These are things that you always have to check before doing your prototype or after you've made any change to your pattern.

The first one is truing the side seams.

You will have to check if the front and back side seams are the same length.

If that's not the case,

add a little bit to the shorter part

and remove the same amount from the longer part and then you will have to make them equal.

The second issue is the crotch length.

Measure the crotch length of your body and compare it to the length of the pattern.

The pattern should be at least equal or longer than your measurement.

If that's not the case you will have to extend it.

Depending on how much you have to extend you can cut through the hip line

and add the length there or even add it to the waist

but if it's too much then we'll get into the next video

and I'll show you how to do it in the next video for the prototyping.

The next issue is checking all the circumferences.

To do that measure the upper thigh,

the knee and the ankle circumferences of your body and compare them to the pattern.

The measurements on the pattern should be a little bit bigger to account for movement ease.

The ease will depend on the type of foundation you choose

and the leg line of your design

but they should always be at least two centimeters wider and if that's not the case just make them bigger.

The next issue is going to be the grainline.

The grainline is the middle division of the pants pattern and some modifications will require you to shift it.

Always make sure that it's halfway along the crotch line.

And the last issue is truing the curves.

All the curved transitions should be smooth

and to make sure that's the case align all the pieces

and close the darts and redraw them and this stands for the waist and the crotch lines.

And now that this is clear let's get into body specific issues.

We're going to start at the waist.

Different people have different postures and this can be accounted for in your pattern.

The standard position is considered to be a perpendicular line from the floor with no back arch.

From that posture we have the forward tilt and the backward tilt.

The forward tilt is the most common one and the back is arched towards your tummy.

This means your front pattern will need to be shorter than the standard.

And to fix this issue do the following.

First line up the pattern pieces.

Second draw a horizontal line perpendicular to the grain line at hip level.

Then check your side view to decide how much to remove.

I would advise you not to remove the whole thing.

It's always better to have more fabric than less when you are prototyping.

And then finally remove the amount from the front and add it to the back.

We do this because we want the crotch length to stay the same

because if you did it at the beginning you check that the crotch length was the right amount.

Now let's look into the backward tilt.

You have a backward tilt if your back and shoulders are rounded towards the back.

If this is the case,

the back pattern will need to be shorter than the standard.

To fix it, we'll follow exactly the same procedure

but this time you'll reduce the amount from the back and add it to the front.

This adjustment will probably cause the center front

and the center back to be at a bigger angle than before which will cause issues somewhere else.

If you want to fix this issue,

go to the waist definition chapter for the front and to the bus shape chapter for the back.

The next waist related issue is going to be your waist shaping

and this is important to understand what the center front and the center back lines are going to be used for.

If you have no waist definition,

also called rectangular body shape,

the center front line should be parallel to the grain line.

If on the other hand you have a defined waist like an hourglass figure or prominent hips for example,

the center front line should be at an angle.

And in this chapter I also want to talk to you about the full belly adjustment.

This adjustment is for people with prominent bellies or for ladies that are pregnant.

And there's two ways of fixing this issue

and it will depend on how much ease you have to add to the pattern.

The first option is if you need up to one centimeter or three-eighths of an inch.

If that's the case you can add the length vertically

and horizontally to the center front and

if on the other hand you need more than that you'll have to do the following.

First draw a parallel line to the crotch line above the hip line and it doesn't really matter where.

Second, connect this line to the side edge of the waistline.

Then you'll have to draw another line that is perpendicular to the first one from the waist to the line.

You can also use the darts but it's going to get confusing if you do that.

Then cut through both lines up to the waist but not through the waist.

Add as much ease as you need to the pattern

and this will angle your center front line which we don't want because if you remember that's for the hourglass figure.

So So to fix it,

you'll have to use the second line to make it straight.

And once you're done you can redraw all the lines and you're ready.

As always it's easier to have more fabric than less.

And what you can do is also combine option one and option two.

Now let's move into the butt adjustments.

Here we also have two different adjustments.

The first one is how to fix the pattern for a low butt.

You have a low butt if your widest part around the hips sits below the crotch line.

100

The standard pattern looks like this.

101

The crotch length doesn't cross your crotch line,

102

but for a low butt your curve should cross that crotch line.

103

To fix it just redraw the curve and lower it a bit at a time during the prototyping phase.

104

When you do this adjustment it is very possible that the horizontal space gets reduced.

105

This means we have to correct that issue.

106

To do that draw a line where the curve starts and measure the difference between both lines.

107

Then add that width to the crotch extension and the pattern is ready.

108

It is very important to understand that this fitting issue will fix the position of your butt but not the shape.

109

Let's look at how to modify the pattern to accommodate for the shape.

110

To make it simple we're going to define three different shapes.

111

The flat butt, the standard and the prominent.

112

If we look at how the pattern would look like you can see

113

that what changes here is the space in between the patterns.

114

So let's see how to move from one to another one.

115

For a flat butt we'll have to reduce the space.

116

To do it, add the needed length to the center back and reduce the same length from the side back.

117

We do it this way because the horizontal length of the pattern is already correct and you don't want to modify it.

118

I advise you to reduce one centimeter at a time also.

119

And for a prominent butt we'll do the opposite, we will add space.

120

To do that there's two options.

121

Option number one is to add the extra length to the crotch extension.

122

This will change the horizontal length of the pattern around your thighs

123

and if you have small thighs there might be too much extra fabric for you.

124

If you have small thighs what you can do is the opposite we did for the flat butt

125

so you move the center back line towards the side seam and add that same length to the side seam.

126

We're almost done let's move to the last two body specific adjustments.

127

These two adjustments have to do with your leg line.

128

The first that we're going to look into is if you have a prominent inner thigh or a knee.

129

A good way of knowing if you have a prominent thigh is

130

if when you walk your thighs touch each other and the trousers that are slim fitting are uncomfortable in that area.

131

Most of the times the length of the pattern is correct

132

but it's not in the right place

133

so what we're going to do for this adjustment is move it so it actually is in the right place.

134

This adjustment is done both at the front and at the back

135

but more at the back because you have more space to work with

136

so in this example I'm going to be showing the back

137

and also for this adjustment you should be adding one to two centimeters no more because then the pattern loses its shape.

138

Let's see how to do it.

139

First draw a horizontal line below the crotch line.

140

Then mark the grain line.

141

Next step is going to be cut through the line

142

and move the bottom piece of the pattern the amount you want to fix.

143

I wouldn't do more than one centimeter at a time.

144

Use the grain line to know how much you moved it

145

and finally redraw the leg lines to fit the pattern by adding to the center and removing from the side seam.

146

And now let's look into prominent cuffs.

147

You probably have a prominent calf

148

if the fabric is always tight around your calf with a little bit of extra fabric below your knee.

149

There's two ways of fixing this issue

150

but one of them I will leave it for the prototyping phase

151

because it has more to do with how you see the fabric behaving

152

but let's look at how to fix it before the prototype.

153

In this option will basically add a little bit of length to the pattern at calf level.

154

To do it, first draw the grain line,

155

then connect the grain line to the knee line,

156

cut through the lines but not through the knee points,

157

and add the amount you need.

158

You can leave the fix here,

159

but this will add flare to the bottom of your hem,

160

and if you don't want to change the leg line at all,

161

then I would advise you to do the following.

162

Draw two perpendicular lines to the grain line and cut through them

163

but not through the grainline

164

and use these lines to correct the hem back to being straight

165

and with that we're done with the body specific issues don't forget

166

that fixing one thing will potentially create another issue

167

and always always always it's better to have more fabric than less fabric

168

when prototyping

169

and also always remember to do all the checks we talked

170

about at the beginning after doing all these modifications you might think there's other issues like having a slayback

171

or an asymmetrical body, all these things,

172

I'm going to add them in the next video because as I said,

173

they have more to do of how the fabric behaves once you've done your prototype.

174

But if you think that I'm missing any specific body issue,

175

then also please let me know in the comments.

176

And as I said, if you don't want to wait for the next video,

177

you have the cheat sheet on my website and I'll link it down below.

178

But that's everything for today.

179

I hope this was useful.

180

This video was long time in the making and I'm really,

181

really, really excited that I finally got it out.

182

Trust me I know how frustrating it can be drafting your

183

own trouser patterns I think I've done like 2 000 prototypes

184

but I promise you it's all worth it because

185

if you look at me at the moment I'm only wearing trousers

186

that I made myself and I cannot tell you enough how proud I am

187

and how happy I am every day

188

that I get to wear my own mix so hang in there and I'll see you in the next one bye

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
