Wow, what a great review! All the details are great-I tend to forget a lot when I try to sit down and review. I have the same centerback problem-the last pants I made, I ended up taking about 4&1/2"out of the back waistband. I like your jeans, they look really good. I agree, maybe the pockets could be a little smaller. Thanks for the review, I had been wondering about this pattern . I need to make my Kwik Sew jeans pattern first though :D

What a great review - I've been looking at this pattern awhile too. I am just so lazy about sewing jeans. I have to disagree about having smaller pockets in back though. I find that smaller pockets just make my butt look bigger in comparison! Sometimes, eliminating the pockets altogether is a better look.

Hilary, what I do is keep a notebook next to my sewing table. Whenever I finish a session on a garment, I spend a few minutes makein gnotes of whatever I had to do or wherever i had problems that I could not fix at that moment. Then I brainstorm through them and go back the next day or so. Then I sit down and type once the garment is all done and I have all the details in front of me in point form!

I echo the "great review" comments. I have yet to venture into making jeans. I have the SB pattern in my stack.....maybe soon. Thanks for the information.

I recently made this pattern and was impressed with the fit (though I made off of my pre-regain weight I lost measurements so it's a bit tight). Your suspicions are right - stretch fabric really accentuates any extra ease you have. I think they look good and this is a well-drafted pattern for derriere-endowed people. Great review!

Great review!! Have to try these too, but i'm so happy, that I fitted my other Jalie pattern, so that I might just stick to my "old" one and lower it in the waist-area

Great detail in this review Lorna, thanks. I am looking into low waist jeans now so I don't have those horrid alterations to do with the pockets.
