This was so interesting to read. I don’t think I’m far enough in my sewing journey to try jeans, but I’ve been eyeing a couple patterns. Thanks for all the tips!

it took me years to muster the courage to try jeans, but wow it actually was really fun!!! strangely, i'm happy i started with a pair of overalls first (a lot less fitting, but lots of amazing practice with topstitching). that probably sounds backwards to start with a "bigger" project like overalls, but the Harlenes from merchant + mills are probably the only reason i felt like i could tackle jeans.

happy to see another sewing substack! cheers!

Omg they are amazing!!!! The green bull denim is perfection. I just made my third pair of worship jeans and it is absolutely my favorite jeans pattern of all time. Also I’m so glad that my blog post was helpful! ☺️

We seem to be on the same wavelength recently as not only did we both just have birthdays but my kitty has been very very sick and I have been beside myself for a week crying a puddle of tears. So I completely empathize with how you feel about your sweet pup. I’m glad she’s doing better! My kitty is starting to get better too. Fingers crossed they both bounce back quickly. ❤️🥲
