Yup! They are all done... and I couldn't be more pleased with the fit.... Copying RTW may be the smartest sewing thing I've done... that and learning to make my own Bellydance Costumes.... I mean crazy belly dance costumes start at around $150 for the plain boring ones and for the Unique, non "cookie cutter" ones they go to the thousands! yuk! I personally perfer a vacation to a costume... I know this comes as a shock to anyone who doesn't belly dance.. it also comes as a shock to people who start to bellydance!!!
I needed to learn to make jeans... I live my life in them! Jeans and knit shirts! And good designer jeans cost alot... but now I can just do this.....
yay!!!!
I needed to learn to make jeans... I live my life in them! Jeans and knit shirts! And good designer jeans cost alot... but now I can just do this.....
yay!!!!Since the original jeans were a non stretch woven and these are a stretch they could be a little tighter... and now if only I could find some higher quality denim!!! This denim is from Joanns and I can already tell by the end of the day my jeans are going to be stretched and loose... ofcourse they'll probably shrink back up after I wash them but still!
I have some RTW jeans that do this and it drives me crazy... cause at the end of the day they fit all loose, so you feel all good about yourself,,, then you wash them..... they shrink up, you put them on.. doing the wriggle dance to get them up over the hips, thinking "wow, I need to lose some weight! what did I eat yesterday!!!" Awwwww!
Maybe I'm the only one...
Anyways... on with the search for high quality denim! And some better looking rivits and jean buttons... these from Joanns... also, just not doing it for me.
And I'm already thinking about what I'm going to copy next... but I've been bad today and not done any sewing work so that has to be what I do next... or else I'll have a very angry bellydancer after me wanting her costume!
