Just remember, it is just fabric! I started making the Ginger Jeans back in November but had to put them aside because I had so much going on. I just picked them up again. So far, so good. I need to adjust the pattern for my shape. I have a flat bum, thin thighs and large calves so my challenge is fit (as always with pants). They are not a perfect fit but they are so much better than ready to wear.

Just purchased the Ginger Jean bundle with the pattern, denim, and hardware to make later this year towards fall/winter.

I always wash my denim in coca cola as per Peggy's suggestions and it does work. I've not used the Ginger jeans pattern but have used Jalie pattern and have now got the fit right so will stick with it. I think the hardest part is getting the topstitching right, particularly through lots of layers of fabric. Take your time and looking forward to seeing your finished jeans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509668630791381647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-19324949941337101392017-03-05T08:33:55.431-05:002017-03-05T08:33:55.431-05:00Oh Faye, you do not what to hear my jean making wo...Oh Faye, you do not what to hear my jean making woes!

I have also made the Morgan boyfriend jeans with the button fly. This was my first button fly and she made it so simple. The amazing part is that she has only been sewing for about 6 years. Jeans are my favorite thing to sew now because I like working with denim and the topstitching. Oh yes I have also made 3 sets of her Carolyn pajamas. I guess you can tell that I am hooked on her patterns. I hope she makes a jeans jacket soon. Enjoy the process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993972062240735890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-28792265153274738532017-03-04T21:28:09.256-05:002017-03-04T21:28:09.256-05:00I've not used this pattern - mine is self-draf...I've not used this pattern - mine is self-drafted, but once you get the fit right, jeans are not that difficult.
