I lengthened the pattern by 8" as I wanted the hem to just skim the floor with flats.
I am wearing them with a MandyBoat Tee from Tessuti.
My inner waistband is cut shorter than the outer so that the outer can wrap to the inside. I trimmed the facing 3/8" along the bottom so that I could finish it with Bias tape.
I swapped the front pockets for some pockets that mimic sailor pockets. I also shaped the back pockets to match the front.
I went with a zipper fly.
The zip was too long so I shortened it by removing the bottom stop and putting it up where I need it
to be.
It's hard to see the front pockets, they blend right in.
I really like knowing at a glance the pattern and when they were made. My Janome embroiders
awesome labels!
Making jeans is a lot of work, but it sure is a lot of fun. Being able to create for your body, your size,
your style. Pretty awesome. Sewing is my superpower.
Stay Happy
Keep Sewing
And if you can't sew,
Stop and smell the roses.
