Ames Jean Bundle

I received my bundle quickly and accurately. I made the pear pelvis with straight leg. I found the front leg to be too small. Added 1" width to leg front and trued up the seams. Fit much improved.

Fitting a breeze

I ordered the Ames Jeans Bundle because of the opportunity to buy good quality denim.
I loved the pattern. I have a long waist and struggle to get jeans to fit me.
Also I object to homemade jeans that look homemade - this is best pattern ever for making jeans that look like I might have picked them up downtown.
Lovely and a pattern I am sure I will use again.
I also loved the denim - I live in a small country in the Pacific and it is hard to get good quality denim.
