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.
