I must say, I really love this patten. I have gone from thinking that I would never be able to make something like jeans, to wondering why it took me so long to even try to make them. While I haven’t perfected the fit just yet (there are a few tweaks I will make the next time), they are comfortable, easy to wear and actually easy to make (once you get the hang of it). I am definitely a jeans and T-shirts kind of girl for the most part, but I like to have some colors that I can’t always find in ready-to-wear. So making them is the perfect solution for me. I did this latest pair in a little over a day. I made these in a size 14 with the only alteration being adding a dart to the back yoke and adding darts to the back waistband (to eliminate the gap). I think I want to try tapering up to a 16 in the thigh to the knee at least, but leaving the waist and hip at the 14. I’ll have to see how that works out the next time.
Love your jeans. And love the color. Great job.
Thanks Beverly!
Your pants look really great. I'm working on pants & may have to try that pattern.
Thank you!
I made pants when I was younger but never liked the way they fit, however yours look great! You should give us all some fitting tips!
Thanks!
Looks brilliant! No way I am yet to conquer pants – if you only had a few tweaks to perform then you are 99% there…
