Pattern Description:
Classic 5-pocket jeans with a little twist - thigh patches and bound pockets!
Pattern Sizing:
European plus: 44 - 52
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were not as difficult as expected. I simply ignored the instructions I didn't like. I changed the way the belt loops were sewn into the waistband.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
These jeans can be made with or without the design details. The thigh patches can be easily omitted to make the jeans more classic.
Fabric Used:
Denim with a little lycra.
Would you sew it again?
I will probably make these jeans again. Colored jeans seem to be the trend for spring. Hopefully, I be able to make a pair in a bright color.
Conclusion:
Making jeans was not the big deal I thought. Mainly because I'm not as "fit picky" as I should be. The shirts I usually wear are long enough to cover the tell-tale wrinkles in the jeans. I'm just happy to have a source for jeans that cost less than $50.
Very nice pair of jeans ... great job!
