Bottoms #2 in sewing plan!

I bought this stretch denim at Fabric.com ages ago. It is my second bottoms in my sewing plan. Again Butterick 6327.  

Ready to cut!

I altered the front to have slant pockets for this pair.  

Slant pockets, extended to center front.

Shortening the zip

You can see that I only extended 1 layer of the pocket bags to center front, to cut down on bulk.  When my jeans zip is too long, I always shorten it from the bottom, that way i don't lose the locking ability at the top of the zip.  I hate zips that unzip on their own while you are wearing them!

Pocket placement

I like to do pocket placement after the point where I can try the pants on, to ensure they are in the right spots. No belt loops this time, and I used 3/8" seams in attaching and finishing the waistband, so that it would be deeper and the waist would sit a bit higher.  

Front

I hemmed these a little longer than the denim, thinking that they might still shrink up in length. 

 

I created a faux yoke again. 

 

So.... finished plan items --- 2 pair jeans and 1 top, a boxy cropped T. 

Stay happy

Keep sewing

And if you can't sew

Snuggle a cute baby.
