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
