A couple of weeks ago I was prepared to toss this project in the bin, but after two dismal, and frankly demoralizing, visits to my favorite jeans store, I decided to give the jeans another try. This is my first attempt ever making a pair of skinny jeans and I had to draft the pattern pretty much from scratch.All in all I’m pretty pleased, and the fit is way better than the stuff I can currently find in stores. And despite them being tight, the jeans are still comfortable which I credit to the fact that the pattern is custom made for my body.
Side view. There is some small folds of excess fabric going on at the back of the thighs. Ideally I would like to get rid of them, and I’d love to hear suggestions on how to do it.
Kitchen towel punk. The dotted Amy Butler fabric didn’t work with the overall look. Instead I went out to find some black and white checker board fabric, but couldn’t find any, so I bought this red/white gingham fabric that is normally used for things like kitchen towels and cloths. A little note: Sorry if some of the pictures are a little dark and blurry. The days are so dark and grim right now in Sweden that it’s virtually impossible to get decent photos using natural light. A good flash and some simple studio lamps and reflectors are on my current to do/wish-list.
