I finally sat down and finished the summer jeans that had been waiting and I was right–they’re exactly what I wanted and I’ll wear them a ton.
These are the Daughter Judy Worship Jeans again (I’ve made three un-blogged pairs, oops) but this time I made the straight leg version exactly as drafted. In that light blue denim, I think it’s giving an 80s vibe and that’s just what I wanted.
The denim is 9 ounces, not too heavy, and I made a straight size 12, giving myself a little extra room in the hips by fudging the seam allowance. The waist of the 12 is a little big but I would rather have that than the opposite; there’s a temporary regular button on there right now instead of the metal jeans tack, just to see if I need to move it over more as they relax.
But yay! Fresh comfy jeans. They’re not the blinding white architectural trousers I was craving at the beginning of summer, but they’re probably going to get worn more.
