Made this for my daughter’s pink cowgirl costume. I added extra flare to make more bell bottomy

Waist was a bit big for her so there’s a bit of a gap at back I don’t know how to fix. But I think this is a me problem not a pattern problem.

I sewed this pattern for one of my granddaughters, so in a children's size and in a light blue and light weight stretch denim.
It sewed up easily and the instructions were easy to follow thanks to the helpful drawings. My only suggestion would be to draft the pocket linings in such a way that they get caught in the fly-construction. In my bought jeans it is always done like that, and I find it keeps the pocket flat and in place. Because I sewed a small size this happened for me on one side, but not on the other. Other than that, no problems. My granddaughter was very pleased with the result.

I’ve made jeans from this pattern multiple times and there are more in my future. My jeans have sold lots of this Jalie pattern :)

These jeans are beautiful. I have made several pairs. I still get confused with the fly, but I find it helps if I wear a pair while I am sewing another pair and just look down for hints. I love the pockets. I do reduce the flare a bit to a straight leg and that is an easy adjustment. The fit is amazing and once I found this pattern and the Eleonore pattern I was able to achieve my goal of sewing all my own clothes.

This has to be the best fitting, best written, and best illustrated jeans pattern out there! I have made these several times for me and my twin girls. I have even made them as shorts!
