I wore them with heels to a concert Friday night! Whoo hoo! |
I still need to put the button on...LOL!! |
I would and will sew it again and again!! In fact, I plan to make several of the views in a few more colors. I also love doing all of the topstitching. However, I'm not a fan of topstitching thread. It jams in the machine and you only get 60 yds on a spool. What a rip off!!! I wound two bobbins and had just enough thread for the pocket details. I might try an embroidery thread next time. Despite that, I love this pattern and appreciate the "rise" at the waistline. Vogue has a similar pattern with a straight leg and boot cut option; however, the rise is 2" below the waistline. Frankly, I'd end up giving "muffin top" a whole new dynamic if I used that pattern.
oh my word those turned out fantastic!you did an awsome job on making those!

Hi Vita - not only are they well stitched but they fit you very nicely. I tried that pattern and it is not good for my shape, but they do work on you, so I am so pleased for you. And you have already enjoyed wearing them somewhere. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember reading that Guterman upholstery thread works better than their topstitching thread, can't quite remember. Try having a look at Peter's blog (Male Pattern Boldness), he hosted a jeans sew along awhile back. It may have been in the comments. I hope this helps.
