Wow, you got a really nice jeans fit on those! Impressive. And, I like you shoe!!!

Very nice! I really want to give it a try, but making jeans is just so intimidating to me! Yours are perfect. I like dark unadorned jeans, too.

Looks like a great pair of jeans! Any particular reason why you prefer a straight waistband to a curved one? I'm curious as I just made my first pair of jeans and the pattern had a curved waistband.

Thanks everyone! Poppykettle, the reason I like the straight waistband better is because I have a very gradual curve from my high hip to my waist. Curved waistbands tend to dig in at the top edge and be too big below that, plus the partial bias makes them prone to stretching out and sagging with wear. A straight waistband (which I usually cut on the lengthwise grain) is a lot more stable, and the little bit of extra room at the top edge prevents it from digging in when I bend or sit.

You did a great job on these. They look really good and fit very well.

These are fabulous. You did a great job fitting them. Well-fitting jeans are so hard to find. It's wonderful that you are able to make your own! They definitely do not look homemade!!

Really great well-fitting results - excellent drafting!

Great job!! I need to try my hand at jeans making.

Very nice!

I am impressed with people who can draft their own patterns and have them fit so well. Great job on your jeans. Your sewing skills certainly warrant saving up for a sturdier machine.

Wonderful! They fit like a dream.
2/15/12 7:56 PM
Great job and they fit perfect!

I am impressed that you drafted these perfectly fitting jeans. I believe you should change your rank to "advanced." Great job!

You did a stellar job. Beautiful stitching. I would make the belt loops a little shorter on you next pair.

Aha, so there IS someone in the world who takes a straight waistband. Good to know. ;) Am I missing where you said which system you were using to draft your jeans? One which produces a curved waistband as a default is a system I'm interested in!

You should be very proud of your accomplishment in drafting a great pair of jeans.
2/17/12 5:58 AM
Quincunx, my method was (loosely) based on the one from Suzy Furrer's "Building Patterns: the Architecture of Women's Clothing." But I think most systems would do the trick. Once you have the jeans block with darts, you can cut however much you want for the waistband width off the top and close up the darts to create the contoured shape, similar to what you do for the back yoke. koo104, you're right, the belt loops do stick out a bit much. I wanted to make sure they were long enough to be functional, but it looks like I overdid it.

They look great!
2/17/12 6:19 PM
Very nice!

Sorry you did not win the contest. You were my vote! But you won with some great fitting jeans. I am motivated to go back to my project.
