MOTHER: What's happening with the jeans?
ME: Crickets. Well, what had happened was...
My Mother is one of my biggest cheerleaders! She knows that I had two back to back trips within a two weeks time frame that resulted in me being one tired soul. But on the other hand she also realizes is that the jeans show must go on, Spring has sprung, and I need to get these things finished so I can move forward with my sewing life. I am so close to completion.

| You can't exactly see from the picture, but tonight I installed the waistband and the belt loops. Installing the belt loops wasn't as bad as I had imagined. |
Ms. Faye, you are at the home stretch!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knowwww Carol!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Faye. It may seem a real challenge right now, but with a little practice, jeans become much less difficult to make. The biggest thing is the fit though isn't it. I love Sandra Betzina jeans patterns that are now OOP but worked really well for me. It didn't hurt that at her workshop , she helped a lot with that !!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that you are absolutely correct about practice making them less difficult. And like you said the actual construction is not hard, it's making them fit correctly that you really have to work on.
DeleteOh almost done.Well done Faye! I do like the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann! I purchased this fabric during Hancock's going out of business process last summer just for practice jeans. This is muslin #2 from the fabric and I still have enough left for one more pair.
DeleteI know you're going to make it! And they definitely will be awesome! !
ReplyDeleteYOU MYRA are my inspiration!
DeleteThey look pretty good to me! You'll get there soon enough. I look forward to seeing you model them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tomasa. I will definitely wear these - it's getting a decent picture that I'll have to work on. Your pair certainly did look wonderful.
DeleteIt's nice that you have a cheerleader! I hope your trips aren't too stressful, and you get to enjoy your jeans soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Marjie! The trips were nice - the driving was stressful!
DeleteMs. Faye, I love the conversations between you and your mom. Great to have a momma in your corner. You've got me and many other cheerleaders. You are doing great my friend!
ReplyDeleteYes Diane, I loooove my Mother and am thankful for ALL my cheerleaders!
