GoSewGirl said... These are great jeans - first pair or not! They look really good on you and I like the authentic jeans details. I think the *fit issues* that you pointed out in the photos are really minor ones! You did a really nice job on these. 1/12/11 9:35 PM
michellep74 said... These turned out great! They are really, really flattering on you--your legs look a mile long. You should definitely add a few more pairs of these to your wardrobe! 1/12/11 11:05 PM
ggf2005 said... They came out great Miss Melody. I'm still working on mine...the first pair needed shorter front crotch and more length in the bum! They didn't fit my daughter or me:( 1/12/11 11:55 PM
bangerlm said... Hmm... that is interesting that you said to follow the pics on the fly, because I just made these and my fly turned out horrible and I was really upset. But re-reading it I do think I misunderstood the written directions, or they are different than the pics. Great job! 1/13/11 1:51 AM
jillnjosh said... Thanks for the review Melody! Could you ask Elnora which embroidery pattern she used, or in which category she found it? Your pockets keep drawing my eye (in an admiring way). 1/13/11 3:51 AM
MNBarb said... I don't think you have fit issues, or they are minor if you do. Wear these with pride, they look great. 1/13/11 7:44 AM
mhk3boys said... I agree with MNBarb, I think your fit is great! I would leave it alone. Try some RTW and then you with love thoses jeans! The back pockets are beautiful, better than RTW! 1/13/11 8:09 AM
Sewing Chick said... Great looking pair of jeans. I bought this pattern about a year ago, but haven't made it up. I'm in the process of losing weight on Weight Watchers. This may be my reward when I get to my goal. Thanks for the great review. 1/13/11 8:46 AM

JETrinity said... This is an excellent fit for the first time. And you will know what to change next time. Your friend did an excellent job on the back pockets. 1/13/11 2:18 PM
Kathy in NM said... These are excellent, not even counting that they are the first "non-muslin" pair!!! A few minor tweaks and they will be perfect. Oh, how so many of use would like to say that! Congrats on a great pair of jeans, with special embroidery on the pockets - what a great friend! 1/13/11 3:14 PM

Erin D said... I also think your fit issues are really no big deal-they look very nice! 1/13/11 10:00 PM
Lynnelle said... Lookin' good, Mel! Whatever you did to the back definitely improved the fit. I think the knee wrinkles stem from full calves - a feature that some folks have surgery to get! I wouldn't worry about it. Nice job! 1/14/11 2:09 PM
