Next project

[mala_14]

My next project is a necessary addition to my wardrobe: Jeans! All my jeans except one pair now have holes and I don't feel like searching for a good pair of jeans. My old standby has changed to using a much thinner denim that I don't like. And jeans with the kind of pockets I like just aren't to be found in your neighbourhood shopping mall. So, using my modified Smooth Sailing pattern, I plan on making a jean with awesome pockets and not too skinny but not too wide legs, inspired by the lovely Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face.

See, jeans! Well, not quite yet. ;p But I want to get them done in time to wear for the weekend.

I have just been thinking of making jeans too! I ordered fabric swatches of some jean the other day, in fact. I had a rather disappointing jeans shopping experience in Target the other day, and decided people don't make jeans to fit my non-existant behind while still fitting my hips/thighs, so, jeans-making it is! I can't wait to see how yours turn out; I'm sure they'll be great! :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence! :) It seems so difficult for most people to find well-fitting jeans. Sometimes I dream about coming up with a jeans brand with a huge range of fits so that women could actually find jeans that they can wear comfortably. Somebody needs to do it!
