Hey Everyone,

Today I want to show you the front fly zipper on my Ponte Jeans… and I want to show you how they fit… (Please pardon the pantie lines that show in the back view, I was so excited to show you, I think they got bunched up.) Anyway, the front fly worked out really well because the cotton fabric that I used for the fly pieces stabilized the knit fabric. Instead of using one of my heavy metal jean zipper, I used a nylon pant zipper. Other than that the construction is the same as a fly I would put into denim jeans.
The one thing that I did not like was how the pocket bags showed through the fabric. It could be because the jeans fit like a glove… or that the batik fabric that I used was too heavy. Maybe some lightweight batiste or lining fabric would be less noticeable. For this pair, I’m going to cut the pocket bags off just below the front pocket opening and sew them shut so I can wear them. For my next sample, I’m going to redraft my front pocket bag so that it extends down to just past the knee. …Maybe lining fabric cut on the bias???? Going to play with it. I think the benefits of extending the pocket bag will be many. First, I can include it on the front crotch seam to add stability there and it should prevent the knees from getting baggy. Plus, the front leg will lay very smoothly under the pocket opening.
The thing I’m most excited about it that they don’t look like knit pants… they have a nice tailored look… Notice on the video thumbnail I called them “Ponte Jeans”. I can’t wait to get the back pockets on. Anyway… Let me know if you have any questions.
