This is so weird for me! I am having to force myself to blog lately. This is a first in my 5 years of blogging. This is not related to my sewing mojo, by the way. I am feeling a LOT of enthusiasm for sewing!
Last weekend I whipped up a pair of jeans!
But let's back up a moment.
My absolutely favorite jeans to wear are my black stretch jeans with the internal seams outlined with white topstitching. I've counted three pair that I have made, but there may be more that I've forgotten about. All of these are in frequent rotation.
Last year, Marcy Tilton was inspired by a pair of jeans she saw in a Paris shop window. She later posted instructions on how to modify her skinny pant, Vogue 8859, to replicate those pants.
Last weekend, I used her instructions to make my own pair of these great pants. I had made Vogue 8859 before, so I had a solid starting point.
I refer you to Marcy's post for specifics on how to do these alterations. In addition to her alterations, I created a slanted front pocket, since I really need pockets in my pants!
I've worn these pants three times this week, so they will definitely be a wardrobe workhorse!
