Hey Everyone,
Super exciting. I finally finished my first complete test pair of Ponte Knit Jeans. I used this sample as a test to see which pocket lays flatter… A one piece pocket bag/facing or a traditional pocket bag and facing. H I’m doing a happy dance over one of them. In addition to comparing the pocket styles, you can see how this pattern fits me. There are a few adjustments I’m going to need to do to the pattern to get my perfect pair, but they fit pretty well “right out of the envelop”. I tried to make a pattern that would be easy to fit and sew. Unlike my existing jean patterns, these jeans will sit at your natural waist. I know from experience teaching jean fitting that this will be popular with some of you! …and if you would like a lower rise, I’ll show you how to do that too. I think I can bend over and touch my toes in these jeans and they stay put! Plus, the Ponte Knit is stable, but very comfortable.
Check them out and let me know what you think. I’m going to start working on finishing the misses and women’s sized pattern sheets and instructions!
