Currently I don't have anyone reading this blog so it's really more of a diary at this point... but who knows. I am hopeful that one day I'll figure out how to get this blog up and running and open to the general public. :)
The jeans are finally done! Wow, this turned into a much larger project than I anticipated. The biggest problem was that the sewing machine I used was not deisgned for heavy fabrics. I broke 3 needles and almost broke 2 machines while trying to complete the jeans. I don't think I would try this again unless I happen across a more industrial style machine that can handle the seams and top stitching.
The things I liked best about this pattern were the front pockets and the knees. The directions were pretty easy to follow, however I did run into some issues with the waisteband that I was not able to resolve as I would have otherwise liked. Other than that, I would add a back yoke to the jeans. This particular style tends to flatten out my butt. I believe having a yoke might give the back of the pants the proper ease which would give a more flattering look from behind.
