...When I started on the Ginger Jeans the first week of March I NEVER
thought it would have taken an entire month for me to complete them. The months not quite over yet, but I'm still not finished. Can we just say time consuming! I did have to lay my sewing
project down for a 3 day work related trip, and needed recuperation time after returning home. I can't ever seem to remember that I need to factor in the fact that I work full time when estimating project completion time.
I did manage to dedicate most of today for catch up sewing however:
- Basting and final fitting
- Removing all of those basting stitches to facilitate back pocket installation
- Inseam/Inseam topstitching
- Side seams/Side seam topstitching

Now it's time to formulate my Finish Line List:
- Waistband and belt loops
- Buttonhole and Jean Button
- Hem
- No hardware this time because these are a wearable muslin. (Saving the
hardware for the "real Jeans" whenever I get around to making them.)
Now I need to take time off again to take care of some family business. Hopefully I'll be able to work on finishing these on Friday evening in time for the Challenge deadline...
Looks like they are coming right along! What a fun print. Don't worry - take your time. It is not a race. I started my Ginger Jeans muslin in November 2016 and had to put them aside for months. You get to it when you get to it! Good luck with everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tomasa. Your Gingers look fabulous!
DeleteThey're looking good, or at least fun. I hope they do end up being wearable indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth!
DeleteMy first pair took 6 weeks. The last pair was done in 4 days.
ReplyDeleteThat's an encouragement! Thank you.
DeleteThank you Vanessa! Vanessa did I see you mention that you live in Georgia?
