Sewing Pants and Jeans
Do you sew your own pants and/or jeans? I do, for many reasons, but the most important reason is…………. FIT……..!
Even when I was young, and fit, before children and enjoying wine and good food, I had fitting issues.
I’m tall, 5 foot 10, with a 34 inch inseam and a waist that still goes in a bit.
Every pattern I use has to be altered, so I make good use of a well fitting pattern.
One of the blogs I follow is Curvy Sewing collective, and they are going to dedicate February to Curvy Pants Month!
I’m already planning for this event, and already have another pair of Eleonore Pull-on Jeans cut out in a beautiful stretch denim from Distinctive Sewing Supplies, and ready to sew. This denim is butter soft, and was a pleasure to cut out. It will be perfect for Spring. Now that I have this pattern altered, and added functional front pockets, it will be a breeze to sew up.
AND, I also have this pattern coming!
Along with a stretch denim from Distinctive Sewing Supplies that will be perfect. I love sewing with the fabric I get from Catherine! She is an accomplished seamstress and really knows her stuff. I can order with complete confidence in the quality of everything Catherine carries.
What colour did you pick for your material? I see they have some nice denims.
Hi Sandy, here’s the link for the denim that I will be writing about tomorrow, another pair of the Eleonore pull on jeans. http://www.distinctivesewing.com/stretch-denim-light-blue/
