I adore them. I think they are just the cutest little jeans ever. So, since I miscut this pair of test jeans, the shorter length ended up being a perfect fix.
I dare not show you the top of the jeans, with the misplaced button, horrid fly front and pocket placement that only accentuates my flat butt. But trust me when I tell you the fit is fine, other than just another minor adjustment to the waist to crotch depth , which, duh, I didn't even think about until I saw the
Silhouette Patterns Webcasts about fitting jeans. (thanks to Debbie, a reader, who turned me on to this online treasure)
So, I dare say, I'm going to do it again. Now that I've worked out most of the issues and understand the construction, I can say with certainty that the time was worth it this week. I will make a pair of jeans that will fit this narrow-hipped, thick-waisted, short and flat-butted body of mine!
And I will wear this little cropped jeans today because even if they are not the prettiest things under that long top, they fit well and are comfortable and will be perfect for getting a pedicure with my two favorite girls on the face of the earth....my daughters!
These are adorable! You look amazing in them and I'm fully inspired. I've been altering my jeans pattern today and have washed the denim 4 times. I hope mine turn out looking half as good..with or without a hinky waistband!
ReplyDeleteLynne, those jeans are adorable and you look fantastic. Have fun today with your daughters!
ReplyDeleteWay to stick with it, Lynne! I think they are adorable on you and a little sassy too.
ReplyDeleteThey look terrific! I have a similar body shape and tend to shy away from sewing jeans/trousers completely because of all the associated fitting issues - but you are definitely showing me that it is worth persevering!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in those jeans. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYes your jeans look fantastic and if they are comfortable then even better!!! Congratulations on achieving a great fit and now you can make as many pairs of great jeans as you like. I hope you enjoy your time with your daughters. I too love daughter time.
ReplyDeleteIf there's shortcomings in these pants, it is clearly not obvious from the picture. You look amazing--I love your styling with the wedges too. Pants are definitely a process, but man, once you get the fit, it's like magic making.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! And now that you know where all the pitfalls are, you can make an even better pair next time! There is going to be a next time, am I right? Very cute!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute! That is a really good length for you. Your first jeans and they are actually wearable! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLook at your legs!! LOVE the shoes took
