The pattern and training class were great. Just what I needed to get the confidence to tackle jeans.
I had never tried to sew my own Jean's before for fear they would be too difficult. I purchased the pattern from Cashmerette and am I ever glad I did. They are amazing and were so easy that's right I said easy to sew following the step by step instructions that came with the pattern. I will be ordering more patterns from Cashmerette knowing the instructions are clear to follow and the fit is amazing.
I have been looking for a long time for Jeans to make for myself. I am a larger women and patterns in my size are hard to come by. This Pattern was fantastic. The fit is wonderful. The cut is flattering. I am looking forward to making many more in various stretch bottom weight fabrics.
A wonderful pattern because one can choose a pelvis shape and a leg style and customize the jeans to fit as desired. I just made my first pair, graded between 3 sizes and am delighted with how well they went together. The pattern instructions are clear and concise, but I highly recommend signing up for the workshop video. Jenny is an excellent teacher, all of the steps are clearly described and demonstrated, and the tips she gives for what NOT to do are as valuable as the ones she gives for how to do. It was a pleasure sewing along with her.
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.
