I gotta make this! It's like those Katharine Trousers from Vivien of Holloway that are really popular among vintage dressers, except I'm way too poor to pay 125AUD for a pair of pants. The 8447 overalls were my first ever sewing project and I didn't think about adjusting it to my height so the crotch is a little low! 😋

Wow, they really do look like those! It cost me $35.55USD for 3 yards of the green twill and it cost $2.50USD for the buttons. The thread was like $2, and the only other thing was some interfacing...maybe $3? Maybe around $45 total, compared to $89USD for those Katharines! Wow! You could totally make your own for much less :) I'd like to make the overalls at some point, they just wouldn't find it into my weekly rotation as much as these pants do!

I think the design is awesome. I got the pattern because it's beautiful. I think you did a beautiful job,, but I agree with you in that maybe a different weight in fabric would have been a little more flowy. Or maybe the crotch area needed to be adjusted. However,, wasn't the fabric back then a tad more heavier? I'm not sure, but like I was saying, you did a fantastic job :)

Hey! Thanks for your comment. Hope your pants turn out well! I recently made these 8447s again but in a lightweight wool and the fit is spot on, even in the crotch haha. I think the green twill was just too stiff at first. They’ve relaxed a lot since I made them and aren’t as bunchy in the crotch. I wear them all the time! I’ll film an update!

I just got this pattern and can't wait to make it up. I am going to do a mock up first to check the fit. I think the fit is a perfect 1940's fit, to make it a bit more modern you could have it more fitted through the hips which would mean very minimal alterations. I think they are very cute and Katherine Hepburn inspired.

I decided to stitch that down too. I found a piece of black suiting with a dark pink pin stripe today on the clearance table in Joann's Fabrics. I omitted the cuff on my toile but I think I am going to add them this time. I am going to post some pictures of the toile on Instagram and I will tag you so you can see. It's turning out to be a fun little project. Thanks for sharing.

The best thing to do would be to make a muslin to nail the fit first! Do you have an automatic buttonhole function? Actually, I'm thinking about making a buttonhole series, so stay tuned! :) you can do it!!

Just a thought, but have you considered pressing the long lines down the front and back of the legs? It’s hard to see, but it’s on the wrapper art for the pattern, and I think I remember someone saying it makes it a bit more flattering. It keeps that baggy 40s look while still slimming down the legs. Just a thought! Sorry I can’t help too much with the crotch issues though. I’m about to make my own 8447 mock-up myself! Thank you for the video. It really does help to have a visual. Happy sewing!

You know, I have done that before with these! Love the long vertical pressing lines. They’re pretty huge on me now so perhaps I’ll make a video where I alter them to fit better. I just finished a pair of ‘40s Western-inspired slacks and I did achieve a much better fit in the crotch (along with pressing the front and backs!) it should be going live soon 🤩 good luck with your 8447s! Happy sewing! 🧵

I can’t say if it’s “couture” but I think it’s a very nice way to finish your projects’ insides! I’d just make sure that whatever raw edges won’t have to be graded or trimmed after sewing… that could throw you off.

Hey! Just a question on these pants. I'm trying to make my own pair of similar 40's wide legged pants. I've made my own sailor jeans before and going to work off that drafting. My question: is there any reason why I couldn't just sew in a continual button placket at the side seam instead of the two separate pieces like in your pattern? Before I watched this I had fully intended doing it as one piece, and folding the placket to the front for buttoning. I thought this was how it was done tbh. Then do a waistband on top of that. Now I'm unsure of my plan and thinking I've gone wrong
@LizVonVillas
4 жыл бұрын
Hiya! I think the main point of the separate placket pieces is to provide stability to the area. I think if you had plenty of reinforcement, you could still do your method, but I’d just really make sure it’s stable! You don’t want a rip situation!
