Oh ho, ho I did it...I finished my jeans. Well I am wearing them unhemmed and rolled up as I wanted to wear them first, and wash them to test the fit. Rolled jeans are one of my favs as well.
I did some wonky pocket sewing. 
For the waistband I used the bottom ribbing of an old sweatshirt Mr Minnado no longer wanted.

I want to get some good pictures and write up a proper post next week, but couldn't resist just showing you some outtakes today. Please imagine the voiceover of David Attenborough, describing the wild-beast behaviour of my 17 month old assistant.

This morning my new jeans held up on a visit to a childrens' animal farm and a buggy push through a meadow! Back next week with a "proper" pattern review and I hope better pics. I have already cut out a red pair though. Happy weekend.
If you have already cut a red pair I am guessing your review will be favourable! They seem to be a perfect leg shape. Can't wait to read the full report!
ReplyDeleteAhaha! That Rocket Girl sure lives up to her name!
ReplyDeleteThe jeans look great! Can't wait to see more!
FANTASTIC! You are so amazing. x x x
ReplyDeleteJeans!!!! I'm looking forward to the "proper" review :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic ! You must have to work fast to stay ahead of the Rocket Girl.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! That is a score - a jeans pattern that works!
ReplyDeleteThey look great, bloody well done lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteOh they look great! I also like the roll-up style a lot (a must, as my legs are ridiculously short ;). Your assistant is also looking good. :)
ReplyDeleteJeans look great - and the photo-bombing little one is a giggle!
ReplyDeleteI love how the pockets look vintage looking, great detail!
