Designer Jeans

I spent most of the afternoon today working on my "designer jeans".  I'm following along with Angela Wolf's Craftsy class, Sewing Designer Jeans.  I'm using her pattern, but modified it quite a bit.  The rise was lower than I wanted so I made adjustments there.  Then I had to majorly shorten the jeans and I straightened the legs a bit.

I spent quite a bit of time prior to cutting out the denim fitting a muslin.  I adjusted and adjusted and sent pictures to Angela Wolf who gave me a couple tips; but said I did a great job and was very close on the fit! That made me feel good!  Anyway, so I made some more adjustments and finally cut out my fashion fabric of denim with 2% lycra.

It's pretty time consuming with all the top stitching but I'm taking my time because if this turns out nice, I may enter it in our county fair.

Here is the back of my jeans.  I haven't attached the buttons yet:
