You are so elegant in your jean, Bravo!

Your jeans are great. While reading I imagined the slacky bottom, the bulk showing at the front pockets and the pockets too small and placed too high. You transformed the pattern from mediocre to fantastic.

Great jeans. Did you see Sandra Betzina's article in the current issue of threads? I may break down and use a pattern that is not BWOF.

Very nice jeans!!One day I am going to have to try and make a pair.

Love the jeans. I like the leg look of them. The pocket is stylish, too. Question...is the denim fabric like the denim you buy with already made jeans?

Erica, I read your blog daily and have never commented, but I had to let you know that you are amazing. Those jeans are fabulous( as well as everything else that you make)!!!!!!!

Very nice jeans!

This outfit looks so nice on you. I must admit, I think I like the body fitting pants/jeans on you best, it gives you a lean, tailored and shapely look.

@ Kayos,
Same quality of denim.


@ Kim Brown,
I agree with you! Tailoring is definitely my best friend!

Very Nice Mrs. B!!!

I really like the embellishment you did on the back pocket. Don't know why, but I've resisted the SB patterns, Maybe I should re-think that. These look great. This is a flattering style on you.

Really nice work as always. Would love to see you do a future post on which of your garments you happily wear all the time and which ones might have lost some of their initial appeal.
LindsayT | Homepage | 03.11.08 - 4:57 pm | #

Your jeans are great!! I really like the topstitching details and how it stands out on the back pocket and around the wais and hem. Great job!!

Everything you sew always turns out fabulous, and you look gorgeous in them! So I don't know if it's the model or the skills
But you're always inspiring!

Hi Erica. Great jeans. You have renewed my trust in Sandra's patterns. You are right, "that's why we sew".
Lisa | Homepage | 03.12.08 - 10:36 pm | #

I was already cosidering this pattern and now i know for sure,thanks for all the detailed comments about what you did and didn't like it really helps!
Michelle Jadaa | 03.13.08 - 4:16 pm | #

Awesome as always!

I'm curious though, did you use a stretch binding for you Hong Kong finish... do you think it would even matter?
Cindy Dishmey | Homepage | 03.14.08 - 10:59 pm | #

Cindy,
I just used regular binding. Where it is positioned, I don't think in the long run it will matter.
EricaB | Homepage | 03.15.08 - 12:05 am | #

Those jeans are very flattering. I like the back pocket detail too.
Colette | Homepage | 03.15.08 - 6:21 pm | #

See that's what a need, the PERFECT pair of jeans. Those are cute. The more I come here the more I realize my azz ain't never gonna sew. Why? Cuz I'd be the one with some pockets in the middle of my back. *chuckle*

Not only are the jeans fabu but your review of the pattern is extremely well written and helpful (as usual).

The ensemble looks great and the pocket detail is really nice.
sheila | Homepage | 03.17.08 - 7:58 am | #

Alright Ms. B. I have bought myself some denim and I will make myself a pair of jeans before this year is over. If they come out half as great as yours do, I will never buy from the GAP again.
cidell | Homepage | 03.18.08 - 11:24 am | #

Very nice jean. Great detailing on the pockets. I have a pair on the sewing table as well.
