I found some heavy black denim on my shelf that I had totally forgotten about so I made some jeans with it. They have a very high waist and slim legs and the denim is so stiff and heavy I think they will last for a long time.
great job. I am curious to know if you prewashed the denim? luckily I was really interested in using it more as a :muslin: for fitting purposes when I had some denim that fit your description because when I finally laundered it, it lost all its oomph, frayed, lost color and SHRUNK as well as just plain being misshapen. oh well I just hate the prewash phase of sewing most of the time.
This blog is dead and has been for years. I leave it on the internet to access all the free tutorials I've created over the years I used to blog, but it is no longer active. If you are interested in what I create you can follow me on instagram:

ReplyDeleteI did prewash, but I never use the dryer. I hang dry all of my clothes so most of my jeans stay pretty stiff.
