Hopefully I can get this to work, but you can also follow on Bloglovin

I made another pair of these jeans a couple of weeks ago. I basically made the 16, then narrowed the legs down to where I wanted them. I like this pair, but they are a little big in the waist. The material is a stretch denim. I think I should have just made the 14.

They fit well with a belt, so I’ll definitely use them.

I should also add that these are the first pair where I used actual jean top-stitching thread. It was a bit of a pain to keep changing thread, but I like the look.

I hope to have a post about my latest project soon!

I love this pattern! It was easy to make (it only took a few hours with the serger). I fits well. And it’s the kind of thing that, depending on the fabric, you could dress up or down.

I made View A. I did grade up to the large from the medium (which is what I bought). I think I bought this on sale and the only size they had was XS-S-M. Sometimes I’m delusional about sizes…anywhoo. I really like the fit.

The whole point is to have a well-fitting garment, and I think I’ve achieved that. The only change I would make is to lengthen the front band. It doesn’t seem to meet the hem like it’s supposed to. I did have to work with it for a bit. And I was aware ahead of time that that was the only sticking point for most people. So next time, I’ll just make the band longer (it only needs about 1 5/8″). That extra inch is going to alleviate my stress!

This is something that I will definitely make again!
