I have only ever sewn jeans using the Jalie 2908 pattern. There has been something about the crotch of the Jalie that I haven't been able to figure out, so I've got three new jean patterns to try so I can try and work out what I like or don't like about the fit of each and then produce 'THE' jean pattern for me.
First up is the mostly recent release, the Ginger Jean by Closet Case Patterns. I had been stalking other blogs, to get a heads up on anything to watch out for. But as other blogs have indicated the pattern is well drafted and the instructions are thorough. So let's take a look at the final result ... I made view A: low rise with stovepipe leg.
First impressions: I think they fit reasonably well and don't look too bad for a first attempt of the pattern. This is my 'wearable muslin' if you like.
