Elona said... Thanks for a great review. The jeans look really jean-like on you, and that's actually pretty rare with jeans patterns (sounds funny, but it's true: Very often they look like some kind of trouser hybrid). 4/5/09 11:33 AM
Annette Wright said... They look great on your butt!!! 4/5/09 11:36 AM
cabinbaby said... :) Those look great! Did you do all the topstitching? 4/5/09 11:39 AM
maryfrana said... They really fit! Nice job and great review. 4/5/09 11:49 AM
becca a said... Thank you for your kind comments. Cabinbaby, these are my muslin/prototype first attempt. I did all the topstitching because I wanted to practice--double rows of topstitching are something I had never done before. The only thing I didn't do was put stitching on the pockets as I couldn't think of a way to do this that would minimize my butt and looking at my RTW jeans I could see that most of them have no pocket stitching either. 4/5/09 12:05 PM

Dale C said... Wow they look great! I'm so glad to see these reviews popping up now, just before I start cutting. Reading them made me realize I may need to include the extra 1" for fitting as my body is not nearly as slim and svelte as yours and cabinbaby's... 4/6/09 10:30 PM
