Designer Jeans

Since Christmas I've been working on making a muslin for my first pair of "designer jeans".  I have a lot of Craftsy classes including one called "Sewing Designer Jeans" by Angela Wolf.  I just finished the muslin after numerous attempts and consultation with Angela.

Now I am ready to make a pattern off my muslin and start the process of making my jeans.  I'm sure I will need to work on the fit some more since my fashion fabric is denim with 2% lycra.  But according to Angela Wolf, I should just need to take the seams in about 1/4".

In addition to working on this jeans project, I'm also working on writing up some basic sewing classes for a mentoring program at church.  I need to make up some samples of some of the sewing techniques yet, but I have my written instructions pretty much done! 

Once I get going on my jeans, I will try to post some pictures.

Thanks for reading,
Marla
