Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is made after the Anita pattern. I found it not too difficult to make, but I must confess this is not the first jeans pattern I sew, so I didn’t have to look at the instructions. The fit is really good and the only thing I had to change was the waist width. I stitched a custom label ;)… I used rivets for the first time too – it was noisy to attach them including a lot of hammering. The pants are a bit low rise so maybe next time I will make them a bit higher. I saw that the same fabric in turquoise and in grey was in sale. I am thinking of buying some for another pair. Not sure which colour though.
Material Notes
It is an elastic corduroy – the stripes are very fine so it looks a bit velvety from a distance. Stitching thread in ebony.

good job! where did you get the rivets for the pocket detailing? they are really hard to find!

the pants look great. how exactly do you alter the width of a pattern? i downloaded anita and believe the waist is too small.

lilo i actually find it a bit low too. it is ok when you are upright, but when you are bending over it is a bit difficult … wenstupen – maybe try ebay for the rivets. i bought them in the local store but i saw some on ebay at the same price.

Great fit and funny flowers. The waistline is very low, too low for my taste, which means I shouldn’t make them for myself. My daughter would probably like them.

These look great. I love the flowers you have stitched on them. I’m so jealous of your rivets. I have been looking for some for my Anita jeans but I can’t find them…
