Pattern Description: Straight or boot legged, below waist jeans have side front pockets with inside pocket, front fly zipper closure, back yoke, back pockets, waistband with button and buttonhole closure and belt carriers, narrow hemmed finishing on jean legs; tips for how-to-fit a flat derriere and eliminate baggy pants are also included.
I made the boot cut.
Pattern Sizing:8-16
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? They were. I only looked at them to do the zipper, and I shouldn't have. I should have done like I ALWAYS do, and use the Sandra Betzina zipper inserting method and I didn't. I am NOT as happy with my zipper as I should be and it's on the opposite side.
When ever you have to make something with a fly front ALWAYS use THIS video. Ignore all other instructions lol.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I actually love everything about this pattern.
Fabric Used: Denim
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any changes.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I love this pattern and I'm sure I will make it again. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Conclusion:Great pattern!
Here are some additional pics:
Y'all have a good one!
Toodles!
Great looking jeans and the top look cute with it.

What a coincidence! I went looking for that pattern today at Hancock's and they were sold out! Now that I've seen yours, I will keep them in mind for the next sale.
