natural waist and has a contoured waistband
with belt carriers.
Jeans feature a slightly relaxed silhouette, with
gently tapered legs for a perfect rolled cuff,
plus the classic jeans back yoke, front zipper
fly and optional topstitching.
*These jeans are cut with a straight side seam,
which gives them that fabulous 'boyfriend' look,

the selvedge as your cut edge on the outer leg seams.*

camisoles and chunky sweaters...Boyfriend Jean perfection!

Classy looking jeans
Easy to sew. Easy to wear.

very current and fits well
As only having worked with pants patterns from the "Big Four " before I was pleasantly surprised to need few alterations to achieve the fit I wanted . I did not have to re draft this pattern "to death" , which can be discouraging to any sewer, when you spend more time fixing than sewing ! The proportions of the pattern are timely,with the leg dimensions and hem opening on target with what is happening . I did choose to use narrow selvage denim , and I was delighted with the results.

WHERE did you get those pants?!?
I had a couple problems with this pattern, but nothing that wasn't pretty easily fixed. I didn't think too much about these pants otherwise, until a friend demanded to know WHERE I got those pants! She loved the cut, said she hadn't seen anything quite like them. That I made them is going to be our little secret for now.

Dangerous video! Just so you know...
Receiving the link to this video in an email led to my watching the video out of curiosity, and then watching the other HotPatterns videos, and then to buying 7 patterns (4 vintage reprints, 3 current). And there's one I left off the orders that is calling to me. These videos are wonderful, informative, helpful and just fun. I love the cheeky sense of humor! :-) Great work! (And VERY effective advertising.)
