| Raye Ann | 6/12/09 | lovely on you! could you tell me how high this hits on you? do you think the waist could be lower on this pattern? |

| homejewel | 6/12/09 | I have this pattern on my wish list and I think I need to move it up higher after seeing your jeans. They look like a great fit. I have the same question as Raye Ann. Does it sit at the true waist or lower? And my daughter and I were also wondering if you made your top (LOL). The whole outfit is so cute! |

| Christas | 6/12/09 | Raye Ann, The very top of the waistband just barely covers my belly button. homejewel, yes, I did make my top from Burda 3/2008. It is design 109. I would say the pants are at my true waist, not below. They are definitely a higher rise pant. Thanks everyone for the nice comments! |

| Peggy L | 6/12/09 | Those really turned out great! I love all your topstitching and the fabric you used on the inside. And, yes, I can vouch for the heavy weight denim. It is great quality! |

| Annette1 | 6/12/09 | Man, I LOVE these jeans on you! FUNNY how they look SOOOOOOOOO much better in a SMALL than an XXL! :o)) The WAISTBAND is my FAVORITE part, but I REALLY like those pockets, too. Now that YOU'VE made the pockets, I'm going to put them on my next pair, too. That style of pocket is my FAVORITE. I like the way they feel when you have your hands in your pockets, AND I like the fact that there's no gaping. Oh, and my waistband extended past center front too. I think their picture isn't drawn right. VERY cute! I bet Meggie would like these, too. :o) |

| o3b | 6/17/09 | Oh how I NEED this pattern. I passed right over it in the catalog. Thanks for posting all of your photos - I can see that this is likely a good pattern shape for me. Thanks for the link for the denim, as well. I love your topstitching. I would not have thought to do the diagonal stitching at the pocket corners. |
