I have had this pattern for at least 2 years and finally got around to sewing them. Forgot to do my normal adjustments (raise backrise /shorten length) and even with that I achieve a really good fit. Instructions are really really good.

The Ames jeans fit me well on my first toile so I’m just lucky my body is the same shape as the block. I made the size 14 pear pelvis because I like a firm fit. The first pair was bengaline to test them and the second pair are in metallic stretch denim.
Instructions were excellent.

They fit without any alterations. They are comfy and fit beautifully.

I really love the pattern, it‘s easy to follow the instruction. The best is the choice between apple and pear pelvis - I chose the pear, no changes needed.
I would like to have an expantion for a bootcut leg.

I made jeans that fit. First try. Without having to alter the pattern at all. This has never happened. And no one has mentioned them or said ‘did you make that?’ Because they just look like ‘real’ jeans.

Gotta love the design, the precision of pattern drafting in this pair of jeans. But the FIT is everything- and the apple or Pear pelvis options are just magic. I made the apple with straight legs and love them.
Best instruction booklet ever, I was able to make these with following steps in booklet and reading the Cashmerette tutorial on topstitching.

Thank you SO much for this pattern.

Very nice and comfy jeans

Although I have made many garments for myself, I had never attempted to make jeans before. But I found a beautiful stretch denim and just had to try. I have had wonderful successful makes with Cashmerette patterns, so I took the plunge with the Ames Jeans pattern. It took me 3 days, and I have the most beautiful and well-fitting jeans of my life! I have gotten tons of compliments and they are so comfortable.

J'ai imprimé le patron, mais je n'ai pas encore cousue le jeans, j'ai hâte d'avoir le temps de le réaliser.

Easy to sew as my first pair of jeans. Directions clear. Happy with my first pair of jeans. Got a good fit with my measurements after doing a muslim first.

I made the size 18 without alteration, and it fits beautifully! No other brand of pattern fits my curves like Cashmerette!

Ames Jeans 12-32 PDF pattern

I LOVE this pattern! Very easy to sew once you get the fit right. So many sewists fear jeans making, but it is very easy, not much different than sewing pants. I did buy the Jeans For Curves, primarily for fitting help. Follow along with Jenny and you’ll have wonderful jeans! Sewing jeans have been taken off my Sewing Bucket List, thanks to Ames Jeans.

I had never sewn pants that weren't stretchy before, and I gave myself a big challenge by sewing with the most rigid custom printed denim I've ever seen for the Taylor Swift Eras tour (like these pants can stand up on their own, that is how rigid they are). I was nervous because there was a tight deadline and expensive fabric on the line, but these pants came out almost perfect on my first try. The only alteration I needed to make was to make 2 of the tiniest darts to fix some gapping at the back of my waist, but even without them, the pants looked and fit amazingly! I have a very large rear and comparitively small waist so normally store jeans have so much gapping I feel like I can fit a whole other person in the waistband, and this pattern gapped by maybe an inch at most. 10/10 using this pattern to make all of my pants moving forward

I made my first pair of jeans using the Ames pattern. I’m so pleased I had also purchased the video instructions as this made it so much easier! I enjoyed the construction process and appreciate the two body shapes included in the drafting.

So easy to follow and the instructional video made the entire process a snap. I would recommend purchasing the printed pattern and printing it yourself and cutting and pasting it together was a little tedious and time consuming.

I have had this pattern for years but thought it would be too time consuming to make. I finally did and I have made 2 pair already. The directions are great, and it is a wonderful fit. LIZ

I love these jeans I have replaced all my store bought with the Ames. I have made at least 5 pair. They are much easier than I thought they would be. Directions are very clear.

I love the idea of using Apple and Pear body shape pattern pieces. The jeans I made came out too big in the waist and too big (and poufy looking) in the thighs. Part of that is my own fault for not triple-checking body versus garment dimensions. I may try again in the future. Some of the features of the pattern are very nice! I missed the fact that the belt loops should be attached lower than the waist piece so my belt loops are weird and very small for my belt.

I think the style of these Ames jeans is great, the instructions are very clear and the overall look is very nice. The only issue is if you did not use very stretchy denim and you're using the pear shape style, these jeans will not fit due to the several inches of "negative ease" they place in the pattern through the hip. My denim had a bit of stretch, but clearly not enough and even letting it out I was not able to make these jeans fit even though I am the correct pattern size according to their size chart. So be careful with fabric selection! I have a lovely pair of jeans that are unwearable, which is a shame.

This was my first foray into using pdf patterns. Luckily, the print and construction directions were incredibly clear! I had a lot of fun piecing the pattern together and it helped me visualize the process.

The pants came together in a breeze and altering to my perfect fit was simple. I love that I have a digital copy of this pattern to be able to revisit sewing this for friends or my changing body!

I also appreciated the clear recommendations on fabric type and the explaination of how this crucial step affects the finished measurements and fit.

I want all of my patterns to be digital! Fortunately, Cashmerettr has a ton of styles that are super cute.

I made the pear shape, straight leg version in size 16.
I had no modification to do. It fits just perfectly!
For my next pair (cause there will be one!), I will just lengthen the legs a little bit.
If you're still hesitating on whether to try it, stop and go for it! :-)

Having never made a pair of pants with a fly front before I decided to give the Ames Jeans a go. I used Jenny’s YouTube clip on how to put the zip in which made it very easy. I had a piece of denim in my stash so I used that to make a practise pair and refined the sizing, then bought some good quality denim to make a pair for wearing. I was very pleased with the outcome. The pattern is easy to alter, the different pelvis fittings are great and the instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this pattern.

I chose this pattern from the multitude of jeans patterns online, based on a 'pattern throwdown' revue from the Curvy Sewing Collective. I was not dissapointed. I modified, based on my measurements and the apple/pear option. I loved the sensible suggestion that after completing the pockets and fly, put the jeans on, inside out and adjust if and where necessary. This worked for me. I chose to use well, pre-washed slight-stretch denim. I also chose, thick good quality quilting fabric for the pockets, which proved to be great for tummy control. I live in a third world country, so buying one pattern that 'works' was important to me. I intended to use this pattern repeatedly for several garments, even shorts. I have made 3 pairs of jeans and a pair of pants thus far. I am confident I will use it over and over again.
