Lynn's Jeans Journey...

Hi Ladies,

In case you didn't know it, I "blog-troll" periodically...LOL!  Anyway, Lynn (who should officially be dubbed "The Queen of Jeans") has begun a series (Jeans #9) to document her journey from conception to completion.  She is beginning her 9th pair with this series.  I thought it was worth mentioning for those who want to expand their skills.  She certainly seems to be a credible "go-to girl" on the topic!  Enjoy, Vita

My New Jeans_Vita

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.
