Half way through making these jeans, and as usual instructions are beautifully laid out and easy to follow, love the additions of different fly options, this will definitely be a well used pattern.
Love the pattern! Easy to follow for a beginner like me!
I'd probably be classified as someone with intermediate sewing skills and I've been looking for projects to boost my skills beyond dresses, quilts, and a variety of shirts. So I decided to tackle my four biggest sewing intimidations this year (knit fabric, significant pattern and dart manipulation, zippers, and pants) and this is the pattern I chose for tackling pants (obviously). I made a straight size 14 short with a zip fly and had no problems following the instructions.
The pattern pieces fit well together when sewing and everything is clearly marked on them. I did find the printing layout a little confusing to piece together compared to other companies, but it's still quite manageable. I had fun with pocket topstitching and though they aren't exactly the same it's close enough for me! The fit is pretty good, definitely comparable to ready made for me. So that's a win. I'll play with fit when I make full-length jeans soon.
I am still fairly new to sewing and I found the instructions very easy to follow and very detailed. I love that there are 4 patterns in one. I made a size 10 straight leg with no adjustments and they are the perfect fit. I already have fabric to make two more pairs! This is a great jeans pattern, would highly recommend!
Of all the patterns I’ve tried this is the first time I love the fit! They hit my waist perfectly even with a high waist.
