Jeans

I made my first pair of jeans. Well maybe I almost made my first pair of jeans. What I mean is that I made them but they don't fit. Where did I go wrong you may ask, well I copied an old pair that still fit but were worn out and ripping. So I used my old jean for the new jean pattern. I went wrong when I chose the fabric. Don't know what I was thinking. Yes both fabrics had stretched just that my old pair had a lot more stretch then my new fabric. (I guess that why the old pair ripped hmm..... ) I sewed everything except the waist and hem. I figured why bother if they don't fit. I tried to think of all kinds of ways to make them work without making them look like they were homemade, impossible. So I decide (like my blog name "if you don't like something change it") so I will change me and lose some weight. I really like the jeans, they came out good. I surprised myself and it was easy. I always thought jean construction was difficulty and time consuming but to my surprise they weren't. I know it would be just easier to make another pair of jeans then to lose weight, but I can dream. Maybe in my next post I'll let you see a picture, of course I won't be wearing them!!!
