My wrinkles seem to mostly be at the bottom of the fly area, and I wasn't sure whether to fold the fabric out at the bottom of the crotch or a little higher in the bottom of the fly extension. If I take it out lower it will change the crotch shape which may or may not be good thing for my shape as I also have full front thighs. I tend to tissue fit tops, but tissue fitting just doesn't work as well with pants. I just need to dig out some fabric I'm willing to sacrifice and get busy on a muslin. I also need to muster up some "sheer determination" because I suspect this is going to require more than just a little patience. Thank you so much for inspiring me to just get on with it.Nadine in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080772333957820334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-56019769215625157122017-04-10T12:28:32.286-04:002017-04-10T12:28:32.286-04:00Great work Faye.

EVERYBODY has knee wrinkling in their purchased jeans, everybody. I think wrinkling in that area is an inherent part of wearing skinny jeans. I really like your blog!

I think on Ginger i'm also going to go down a size but I scooped a little excess fabric out near the knee this time taking it from the outer seam, but reading some pants fitting guides, it seems as though a "knock knee" adjustment may help as well as the sizing down. My old machine is struggling with the waistband topstitching. I'm going to rip it out and start again there. Just that, then hem and buttonhole and mine are done!Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709713600015401053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-71370826417054428282017-04-08T17:44:18.303-04:002017-04-08T17:44:18.303-04:00Thank you KS.

I tend to agree with Siobhan, the bagginess in the knee could be due to needed excess or recovery issue of the fabric. I was say just go down another size (since you had to take in more of the side seams) when you make your next pair. That may help with the excess at the knee too! BTW...I am really happy you were OK during the storm! Sometimes I love storms just so I can stay in and sew, but that one was a doozy! Congratulations lady, I knew you could do it!
