It must feel nice to have all of those new, great-fitting t-shirts added to your wardrobe (even if you want to re-work a few of them)!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003341293126217379.post-30143059369617939882014-09-23T09:53:40.386-07:002014-09-23T09:53:40.386-07:00Robin, anyone can wear jeans.

Play around with muslining a couple of different patterns with cheap denim and see what you like.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003341293126217379.post-60682135186499049712014-09-23T07:51:23.132-07:002014-09-23T07:51:23.132-07:00Jeans aren't that hard to do once you get the ...Jeans aren't that hard to do once you get the pants fitting correctly. My favs are the custom patterns I have made from Don McCunn "how to make sewing patterns" book. He just knows how to do it so everyone can get a great fit. You can refine as you go along to make wider or narrower legs, and all the rest, but the fit is the key. If you make traditional jeans, it does take longer due to all the fiddly parts and the topstitching though. The main reason I make "trouser jeans" is because of my size. I don't think anyone wants to see skin tight over bountiful butts and thighs! Most especially me!

I guess it really depends on the fabric, pattern and a great fit. You nailed it Lynda!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688809657787883372noreply@blogger.com
