Jalie 3461 Pull-On Jeans

大阪のおばちゃんパンツと同じ型紙で、デニムの生地を使ったパンツを作りました。スキニージーンズに見えるような、でも実はゴムウェストなステキなパンツ。
まだまだフィットに問題ありだけど、今の時点では満足。

Since I liked the pink zebra mock-up version, I made another pair of these pull-on jeans using a denim fabric. (Poor quality photo warning)

The pattern is the same Jalie 3461 Eleonore Pull-On Jeans pattern.

The fabric is stretch denim, 95% cotton, 5% Lycra. This fabric is stretchier than the pink zebra. I used the 1" elastic for the waist as the pattern called for.

This time, I cut a size T at waist/hip, tapered to size S at the knee, then used size P for length. I took off the 1/2" addition at the crotch that I did in my zebra version, but added 1/2" as full tummy. I may not have needed it...

This pair shows up the flaws in fitting more than the zebra version. I have extra fabric near my crotch, and my back legs are hot mess. But at this point of my fitting/alteration skill for pants, I am happy with this totally wearable pair.

I used the same fusha embroidery thread that I used for my zebra version for top stitching. Loving it.

In order to make the thread color pop out, I wound a bobbin with the same embroidery thread, and used the spool and the bobbin for the top stitch. It worked out very well.

Since my zebra version had a slight gaping at the back waist, I shortened the elastic for back waist by 1", and it worked. I also used my coverstitch machine's chain stitch (single needle) to attach the waist band so that it allows more stretch and stitches won't break when I pull the jeans on and off.

The back leg fitting issue aside, I would love to make a pedal pusher length pair for warmer season.
