Ok, so I have finished my second pair of Jalie 2908 stretch jeans and I LOVE them! This time I used a heavier denim from JoAnn's. I was prepared for the slim fit through the thigh this time and added an extra 1/4" in on inner and outer during cutout from the bottom of the hip through the knee. I then still only sewed a 1/4" seam allowance in this area. These pictures are after wearing them all day, so they are a bit looser. My only dislike (too strong of a word actually) is the slight bagginess on either side of my front crotch.... I think I took too small of a seam allowance from the zipper bottom to the inner thigh.... either that or my front inner crotch shrank. (-:
Rock On!
Great looking jeans, I like the stitching on your pockets. I was at Joann's yesterday and was impressed with their selection of denim.
ReplyDeleteThey look great. Very nice design on the pockets too!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I can't wait to make mine! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour what? shrank? (a mother wants to know these things) I can't believe how busy you've been. Be sure to let us know how the craft fair goes. I loooove my bag, everyone comments on it. Of course I show them all the linning and how cleaver you are. (even people I don't know are now aware of your expertise)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! I'm getting ready to start on that pattern later today. Hope the turn out as nice as yours did.
