Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My first pair of hand made denim pants. Love em!
Mods: took an inch off the top of the waist. Ended up (read had to redo and) “blending” size 44 and 42 in the waist pieces. Is still a bit big. May go down to 40 in the next pair. Shortened the legs by a couple inches (that’s a first!). Raised (or deepened) the front pockets by a couple inches. Lined the back pockets with contrast fabric, folded over what would have been the facing and tacked it down with 2 buttons.
Still not sure I’m doing the closure right. Button holes came out horrible and I think I need to move the buttons over a pinch.
Material Notes
7oz denim and "mattress ticking" fabric remnant

I think you’re right about the buttons but otherwise they look great! Cute 70s look.
