スキニージーンズの型紙を布が足りないのでカプリ丈にしてあるんだけど、普通のジーンズ丈だったら多分ふくらはぎ入らないだろうな、と思う（爆）
The weather was perfect for capri-length pants so I wore my finished Ginger muslin all day to try them out.
The front belt loops look unbalanced but they are in fact equal distance from the center front...
The pattern is Ginger Jeans from Closet Case Patterns. There are variations to this pattern, but I bought the mid-rise version, and used the skinny leg pattern.
Fabric is a left-over stretch denim from my Jalie Eleonore: 5% Lycra. I had less than a yard left so inevitably, the jeans were turned into capris.
I cut a size 8 at waist, tapered down to 6 around the hip, then back to 8 for legs. However, it turned out to be too tight around the low butt, so I ended up letting out the side seams next to the back pocket. I will cut a straight size 8 next time.
I used the pocket placement for size 6 and I think it worked.
(Please ignore a plastic bag stuck in my back pocket. I was on the way to take the dog out for potty. My photographer never tells me these things...)
I trimmed the top of back yoke about 1/2" at center back for sway back, but the top of the back waistband is still slightly too loose so I will have to adjust the waistband pattern next time.
I also deepened the back crotch curve for a more L shaped curve to fit my low butt.
I still have a lot of wrinkles on my back leg, but I'm fine with that at this point.
