..."starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough. But we're gonna make it".
Who remembers that song? Well, that's just the way I felt after the first fitting of my Ginger Jeans muslin #1. Sheer determination here. These were my observations:
- Ginger Jeans sizing is very generous. I chose the wrong size based on my hip measure. I went down one size with muslin #2.
- I have a short front crouch measurement. I adjusted accordingly on muslin #2.
- The back leg of muslin contains too much fabric.
- Jean construction is not hard; it's getting the right fit that can be considered "ROCKET SCIENCE".
Pictures? No, not of muslin #1, but I will post pictures of muslin #2 when I get to that point. I salvaged certain parts of the first pair (the zipper, back pockets that were cut but not used, the waistband) that I can reuse on the second pair so all is not loss. Today is the first day of spring and there are so many items on my sewing list to get to. Jeans (and pants in general for that point ) are a hurdle that I need to conquer at some point. What better time than now...
