Jeans Are Done

Okay, they are done and they are great, in my humble opinion.  Go to this blogpost for a review of the Ottobre jeans.  The one change I did was to fold out 1/2" in the front and back, so the rise isn't so high.  Next time I will probably make this 3/4" to 1" amount.  Also, I added my first ever rivets, making my jeans very RTW.

My photographer was a bit out-of-focus on this front picture and how do you stand for this type of picture?  Oh, well, here it is:




Then the back pictures, standing a bit funny again and Meredith said, "Mom, let me get a picture of your great back pocket."  I consider that high praise, coming from a teenager.


They look a bit baggy in the rear but really they are not, I am just standing with one knee bent and I have been wearing them all day.  The only problem is the denim still is fading on my hands.  I prewashed the denim twice before cutting out the jeans and then once after completing the jeans.  My hands were so blue after sewing on this garment.

Next up, some knit tops for me.  Have a great day/evening.

  4. Nothing to be humble about...take a bow! I am so jealous of people with machines capable of properly topstitching denim.

  10. Have you tried some vinegar in your rinse cycle to see if you can set the dye better?
