I also make my own sewing patterns and I have most patterns (unless they're much more complicated) timed out to about 3 hours. Cutting and sewing any one garment I make will usually take about 8 hours but that's because I usually have many panels, slightly complicated seaming, and then inside lining and pockets for most things.

I have to say, I've never made the same pattern twice (yet), but when I do, I agree it will certainly go a lot faster.

I used to jump from one pattern to the next, always trying new things. (Maybe I just hadn't fallen in love with a pattern yet) But I'm now reaping the benefits of TNT patterns.

I think 4 hours to make a pair of pants is AMAZING (regardless of if you've made them plenty of times already or not)!<br />I over underestimate the amount of time I'll take. And you're very lucky you had dinner waiting and ready to be eaten, I usually get so focused on finishing a project that I forget to take meal and bathroom breaks!<br />I hope you post more photos of the finished pants, would love to see them in all their shiny-ness :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-35422783216481886742013-08-07T09:29:05.403-07:002013-08-07T09:29:05.403-07:00Very interesting post!

I don´t own a serger, so I try to french-seam or flat fell. Apart from that I always end up hand stitching a lot of things. So, yep, I´m a very slow seamstress, and that´s why I can´t finish all the sewing list in my head!

Thank you for documenting, i should do the same on my next project, if only just to figure out what takes most time in the process...Petite Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214232297194090552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-13280166172195810332013-08-07T07:40:09.295-07:002013-08-07T07:40:09.295-07:00I've never timed my projects because I don'...I've never timed my projects because I don't want to risk feeling totally inadequate about how insanely slow I am. Usually I tell myself I'm just careful and precise, but I'm afraid knowing the actual number will lead me to start comparing numbers...
