My very first garment pattern for home sewists, MAGIC PANTS, is now available for sale on my website (anntilleyhandmade dot com) in paper and PDF format! In this video, I will walk you through each step of the sewing process. The chapters are divided up by PAGE NUMBER + STEP, so you can easily navigate around based on your needs. The first Tutorial for the Magic Pants is the PART 1 video, where I walk you through finding your size, choose fabrics + cutting out your pants.

Happy sewing!

I just finished making my first pair of magic pants, which also happens to be my first pair of pants I've sewn... I've watched this video 37 times (probably more) while making the pants. 😂😅 I have put on a bunch of weight recently and have struggled finding pants that make me feel comfortable and HUMAN. These pants did exactly that. I'm over the moon that I've made my own pants using your pattern. Thank you thank you thank you. Me and my mental health are very appreciative of this wonderful pattern ♥️

Came over from another YouTuber who made your pants. Like your video and I’m ordering the pattern now. 😃👏👏

Great tip on bar stitch on serged ends

@taylor7980 1 year ago

As someone who’s currently studying fashion design at college, watching you sew was incredible! The techniques and methods used in the pattern are just so thoughtful and functional, I can’t wait to make a pair!

@MichelleMonstera 2 years ago

I'm in the middle of making my first pair of magic pants ever, and I must say, you are brilliant.

@poppenpink 1 year ago

Omg I watched the video to find out the 'magic' in the magic pants and this is really so brilliant! Such a great and well thought-out pattern!

@raphaelrachedi6966 1 year ago

Okay, I feel the magic. Just finished my muslin test. I love it ! I downsized a bit so next one with expensive linen will be the upper size but seriously, thank you!!! I'm so tired of all these pants patterns for men that are awful, never fit and always showing some of my rear... I think I finally found a pants pattern that I will use again and again !!! These are so comfortable and beautiful !!! THANK YOU ❤️

This is absolutely, hands-down the best sew-along video I've ever watched. I learned so much! Very glad I have this pattern (which is next is my queue and much needed). Thanks, Ms. Tilly. Great job.

I am so happy with these! The entire process was so easy and I am grateful for your step-by-step instructions! I found a curtain panel at the thrift store that was perfect! Thank you so much, Ann.

@Carmelshalomlouise 1 year ago

I am almost done with the pants! It’s my second project on the swing machine. Every technique I do for the first time, you explain it so well (and funny) . Thank you so much I can’t wait to wear it! I am making the pants in a cobalt blue linnen fabric 😍

@lidabard2121 2 years ago

Wow! These are fantastic!!!! I love the flat front. Great tutorial. Thank you, I look forward to more.

@donnafarrow3405 1 year ago

Your video tutorial is so helpful and taking the Magic Pants class with you in person was, well….Magical! I have made two pairs and love them both so much I’m already planning to make more!

Just found your channel! Thank you for such detailed instructions and showing the sewing ♥ 🌹 🌹

@SouthpawElbowJabber 2 years ago

Wow, I am learning so many tricks from you. Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to make my MAGIC ⭐Pants!

@MarlaPlainandSmall 2 years ago

these are amazing!

@cathleenvance4441 2 months ago

I am definitely getting your pattern. I have never in my life seen a pattern draft like this. I really believe you are a creative genius with this pattern draft. I have a terrible time getting pants to fit me since I am a total rectangle. My waist and hips are almost the same size and I can't stand it. I truly believe these pants are going to be perfect for me. And this video sew along is amazing. Nobody could have ever done this tutorial justice as well as you have. Well done you. Thank you soooo much for this video. And I worked production when I was in college and Oh My God I swear it was the hardest job I think I ever worked. Those machines were like race cars...lol

I'm watching while I await my needle sharp box. I'm looking forward to making these. So unique. So cute. Love your fabric choice. Thanks for this amazing tutorial.

Just finished my first pair of magic pants!! Im wearing them to work rn and it feels soooo good 💗💯 i want to make another

@stephanywilkes3598 1 year ago

Thank you so much for the excellent series. I'm sewing the Magic Pants now and having a lot of fun with it. I'm sewing on a 1960s Kenmore and so intrigued by your machines - they make such pleasing sounds. Would love to hear more about your sewing machine and serger.

Love this pattern! Hope to make it soon. One suggestion, though = use rectangle rings instead of D rings. The flat bar on both sides will prevent the strap from bunching and help it lay flatter. Rectangle rings of various sizes and colors are easy to find online, but not as popular in regular stores.
