I have made these three times before
Ottobre Jeans
Ottobre Jeans #2
and I didnt' get pictures for the third pair, from a dark brown denim.
I cut these out last night and started sewing tonight.
Here is the coin pocket with rivets, first time I have used those:
Then my back pocket, excuse my chalk marks. I drew lines 2" and 3" down from the pocket top, then traced some curved lines.
I think that is all the sewing for tonight, the girls just put in a movie and I need to go watch, no I want to go watch!
Perfect details. I looked back to the previous pants you made from this pattern. Wonderful fit. One of the things I want to do this year is making jeans, thanks for reminding me of this pattern. I have the Jalie pattern too, and will compare the two with a muslin (some time).
ReplyDeleteDoncha' just love a snow day? It sounds like yours was terrific. Have fun making your jeans! And scrapbooking. And eating cookies while watching movies!
ReplyDeleteThese are looking great! I looked back at your other pairs and I really like them. I just finished a pair using the J Sterns pattern (not posted yet). Unfortunately, they aren't a TNT...yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I like the sound of "snowdays" ;-) as we swelter in 40'C days.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it does sound like you had a wonderful day with your girls. Enjoy!
The jeans look great.They're my favourite type of sewing.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time sewer who hasn't really checked out sewing blogs until several months ago. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy yours, but I have now listened to and enjoyed your podcasts - I'll be sad when I'm through all of them. You have taught me so much.
You and others have inspired me to take a leap and start a sewing blog. http://fabricateandmira.wordpress.com/
Thank you
Those jeans are going to be awesome!!! You are putting in such great details. Sometimes our wants and needs mesh!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I dare try making jeans. But if they look as good as your attempts, I may have think about it!
