Oh so comfy jeans

I have been scared of making jeans in particular for quite a while now, however I always struggle to find jeans that actually fit me! This is exactly the reason why I began sewing in the first place, so I put my fears to one side and took the plunge into making my first pair of jeans, specifically Morgan jeans. I was drawn to the relaxed fit and liked the button fly detail, which surprisingly wasn’t too difficult to construct at all! Close Core’s instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it a good pattern for ambitious sewists looking to broaden their skills. I cut a size 8 waist and 10 hips, however I did do further fitting along the way. This pattern is specifically for a none stretch denim, I chose a lovely 8oz light blue denim that feels very summery. Closet Core also have a fitting guide for jeans to provide further advice and help which I would highly recommend! It’s definitely a more involved project but I’m super proud of these jeans and how they have turned out!
