Ginger Jeans #3

夏だから、カプリ丈のジーンズ。
夏だからっていうか、あまり布だからこの丈で精一杯。でもジーンズ作りもこれで3本目だから、結構ラクショー。（でもフィットに関してはまだまだだな。）
型紙は前回と同じCloset Case PatternsのGinger Jeansです。
一日出かけて帰ってきたとこなのであまりやる気ない写真で失礼。（私はやる気満々なんだけど、オットが全く写真撮るの面倒くさがるのよね）
シャツもこの前のホビット衣装で作ったシャツよ。衿のないシャツ結構気に入った。

I wanted a pair of light colored jeans for summer so here we go, my third Ginger Jeans.

The fabric is a left-over stretch drill from Zoe Washburne costume. It's rather thick but surprisingly stretchy (and it's a 4 -way stretch). I had just enough fabric to make this capri length.

It is definitely nice to have two sewing machines when making jeans. I really like using my Kenmore. I just wish it had a knee lift!

Since the fabric was so beefy but stretchy, my top stitching got somewhat wobbly.

I used left-over cotton poplin for pocket and waistband facing.

-I cut a size 8, mid-rise skinny.
-Shortened 2" above knee and cut the legs from 6 7/8" from hem to make a capri length.
-Deepened the back crotch curve for a more L-shape (low butt).
-Back pocket is size 6 and using size 6 pocket position.
-Flattened the front crotch curve about 1/8".
-I did a flat seat adjustment by adding a diagonal darts at the back leg about 1" at center back and 0" at the side seam. I "think" it made some improvement to the back leg but not sure.
-Straightened the hip curve at side seam from hip notch to mid thigh.
-As I predicted, the skinny was a bit too skinny for my chunky calf so I let out about 3/8 all around.

Worn with my collarless Butterick 5526 shirt I made for my Hobbit costume. I accidentally (well, just wasn't paying attention) cut the back bodice NOT on the fold so I had to add a strip of fabric at center back. Let's call it a design detail.
