With cold weather creeping in, I knew I needed to make some new jeans ASAP. Just my luck, Lauren of Baste and Gather was looking for testers to sew up her Birkin Flares jeans pattern. They looked awesome on her, and I could really use the “dead line” pressure to get some sewing done for myself, so I applied and was selected. Yay :)
These jeans have a moderately high rise with a close fit through the hip and thigh that flares out at the bottom. The fit and instructions are great, so be on the look out for this pattern. It’s going through a second round of testing and will hopefully be released in a couple weeks.
As soon as time allows, I definitely want to make a couple more pairs!
You look gorgeous! And I love the jeans, very flattering and nice seem work!
Love! I’m so impressed! P.S. your hair is so long!!
Very nice! I love the topstitching!
Thank you, top stitching is such a satisfying detail to add.
Excellent job! You look fabulous in your jeans! This is such a classic style, you really can’t go wrong. Also, when did your hair get so long?!? You look beautiful!!
Thanks Sallie! Two years I’ve been working on this hair ;)
Wow! I love the jeans and am amazed at your skill. Well done. Great classic look. I like the wast line.
These look wonderful on you!
Thank you :)
You’ve done an amazing job on these! They are my favourites from the tester round up. Your butt looks amazing!!
Haha, thank you! If you make them, take my word for it and baste the back pockets on. I didn’t and had to adjust the placement and re-stitch :(
These look great on you! They are so flattering, your top stitching is super impressive :)
Thanks Jennifer! I feel like I cheated on the top stitching because I used my industrial machine and it sews through anything :D makes it easier.
