I've struggled to find a pants pattern that fits, and the Dawn is IT! I need look no further! Beautifully constructed, excellent instructions, and an overall wonderful sewing experience. I look forward to making many Dawns in all different fabrics and colors!
This was the first pair of jeans I'd ever made and I was so nervous going into it - the fly looked a little out of my league - however the step by step instructions were so clear and the booklet that came with the pattern was so easy to read and understand that all my worries melted away.
I used a denim with a little bit of give (so I expected some parts to look rough) but I honestly made the best pair of jeans I've ever owned. The tapered leg looks cool with crisp white trainers OR a heel, and the pockets are big enough for my phone.
I used a super funky pocket lining and was worried it would show when finished, but the instructions included little hints like understitiching and reminded me to press as I went.
I loved this so much I went out and bought more denim the same day I completed them.
I even tried studs for the first time! Just bought three more patterns without a single concern about fit or style as these jeans sold me on the whole brand.
My first attempt to make a pair of jeans was a failure. So I decided to try another pattern. So I bought the Dawn jeans and my on my first try it was a succes! The fit is great, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I like that they tell you when to finish seams and edges so when the garment is put together it is REALLY finished. The pattern is for non stretch demin but I did use stretch denim. I went down one size because of the stretch and it worked perfect. Highly recommend this versatile pattern.
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!
