  1. Claudia

    This pattern is very well drafted with clear instructions. I took 2 inches out of the rise and added 2 inches to the leg length below the knee (just personal preference). I also used my own (curved) waistband as I have a swayback and my waistband is perfectly adjusted for that. I love the fit of these jeans and the only thing I’m not crazy about are the darts in the legs. When i sit or bend my knees they (the darts) ride up and don’t give the ease in the right place. I have another jeans pattern that has a shaped leg with no darts and I prefer that, but still love these jeans and i wear them a lot!

    Perfect fit, roomy pockets and most comfortable to wear: that first pair is just the start of more !

  3. Diane

    Beautifully finished and so comfortable to wear! And as always, the instructions are amazing!

  4. Lisa

    A really nice pattern. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and I ended up with a great fit.

Material

Interfacing Use lightweight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing.

Other Materials

  • 1/2 yard or 0.5 meter of 3/8” (1 cm)-wide straight fusible stay tape
  • One (1) 8” (21 cm) or longer metal zipper (longer zipper can be shorten later)
  • One (1) jeans button)
  • Topstitching thread
  • Nine (9) rivets (optional)

How to choose your size

  1. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  2. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. It’s OK to use different sizes for the waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  4. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
