Love love love these #ClosetCoreJude Jeans by @sewbikeknit, who had this to say about them:⁠ ⁠ "Ta Da!!!!⁠ ⁠ The final frontier…jeans!!!⁠ these are the closetcorepatterns #judejeans (view B)…⁠ ⁠ Deadstock “Zoe” stretch denim from the great themakersocietyaustralia (sorry it’s not in stock anymore but keep an eye out they’re always adding new amazing fabric and trims)⁠ ⁠ So I signed up for the closet core jeans class, so worthwhile if only to get a bit more Heather into my days…it’s so good! So much brilliant advice, the best I think is to accept imperfections…⁠ ⁠ Part of the construction is to baste the pieces together first to check the fit - so important because it would be pretty heartbreaking to get to the end of this and find they don’t fit. The seam allowance is generous so I was able to tweak them by decreasing the rise by 1cm, grading from 27 waist to the next size up and I also decreased the seam allowance to 1cm for the leg seams (I’m telling myself it’s because this denim isn’t as stretchy as what the pattern calls for hahaha)⁠ ⁠ Absolutely loved making these and I have so many more plans. Only thing I didn’t love was hammering in the button, but I suppose I just need practice.⁠ ⁠ I do have a sway back so will tweak the yoke a bit more in the next pair. (Plenty of help for that and more in the class)⁠ ⁠ Now, the pockets…they’re meant to be 8 pointed stars as a nod to one of my favourite books, A Court of Silver Flames….I thought of putting hand marks (like the ice burn on the stairs in the book) but am now very glad I didn’t, and flames would be a bit too much maybe? Anyway, I can’t wait to crack on…"
