Description

The second piece of my summer mini-wardrobe, though an attempt at this has been years in the making. After a couple of unsuccessful pattern attempts with muslin, I ended up making my own pattern from one of the better-fitting pairs of jeans I have and some masking tape. The muslin fit well, so I went with it. So this is the final result— I’m going to be reworking the pattern some because the fit isn’t perfect yet, but these still fit better than most of the jeans I own, and I think they’re pretty good for a first attempt!

Material Notes

denim, zipper, thread, button, rivets
