Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made these jeans with the Bella pattern : I absolutely love the result ! Wear them every day ^^
I made some alterations : curved pockets, wider and longer legs, no pleats on the sides and no back pockets. I love it simple and classy :)

GORGEOUS! I’ve made just one pair of jeans. I highly modified Kwik Sew pattern. These will shoot to the top of the list after seeing what you’ve done. You look fantastic in them.

i never thought i’d ever get used to low rise skinny jeans, but here i am with countless pairs. now i don’t know if i could make the transition back to wide leg versions, but these are classic. so simple (love the clean back without pockets) and the denim looks light. bravo!!!

Love the design changes you made, that’s one of the best parts of sewing, making it your own. Your jeans look great, and the fit is right on! great job!

I really like your version. I saw many variations of Bella pants, but I liked just a few of them. I prefer the pants without pleats, too.

I think these look wonderful! I am not a fan of pleats so I love seeing your version without them. Normally i really prefer jeans/slacks to have some form of back pockets otherwise they just don’t look right to me. Your version, however, is very flattering ,without the pockets. They look great and lucky you because a really great pair of ready to wear jeans can be so hard to find! I just might might make a pair myself now!

Thank you very much !
I totally agree about ready to wear jeans, they always fit me wrong and I end up depressed…
Give this pattern a try, it’s not that difficult and very flattering :)
