I knew that I wanted jeans that had a Old Hollywood feel to them. Like my inspiration below:
Ginger Rogers Hollywood Pattern
Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 10 (used it as is)
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? When I was doing the mock-up I ran into trouble! I COULD NOT sew the pant legs correctly! It took five tries and a week before I got it right! But, once I was working with the jean it went together like a dream!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this pattern, super cute and stylish! It has that 1930s/1940s Old Hollywood feel to it!
Fabric Used: A nice denim from Joann's.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Nope. Next time I would shorten the length just a tad, as the legs are a little long. :-)
Would you sew it again? Yes!
Would you recommend it to others? Sure, they are so cute!

Here's a sneak peak to my Maid Marian inspired dress!
Off to Jo-Ann's I went looking for the perfect pattern, or at least one I could adapt. And lo, and behold, I found the perfect one! With no adaption, Simplicity 3686 would work like a charm for my brand new jeans, which would have that Old Hollywood feel.
Pattern Description: Misses pants with slim & wide leg.

ReplyDeleteThose jeans are way cute. Good job!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness!!!!! Ashley these are exactly the type of jeans I want and need!!! They are more modest than what I have and don't hug me too much and they are so beautiful and feminine! I have wanted a pair for the longest time. I guess I will have to try and make a pair!!! AHHH! I love your pants!
ReplyDeleteSorry I have just wanted pants like this for so long and they are just great! An awesome sewing job and they look so classy on you!
Thank you, ladies!
ReplyDeleteRebecca- You should try and make yourself a pair. :)
Yes I should! I keep on saying that I will have more time once the holidays are over and its the new year, but all the projects for the new year just keep piling up! I will have to try and add this to my list!
