Ginger Jeans 4.0

Black pull-on stretch jeans made from the Ginger Jeans sewing pattern by Closet Case Files.

Immediately after I sewed Ginger Jeans 3.0, I got to work on re-adjusting the pattern from scratch in preparation for Ginger Jeans 4.0.  To refresh, I had royally screwed up my pattern with some half-arsed pattern adjustments last time, resulting in some seriously twisted inseams.

Ginger Jeans 3.0

Dark blue pull-on stretch jeans made from the Ginger Jeans sewing pattern by Closet Case Files.

I was hoping that this post would be a triumphant show-off of my new Ginger jeans, complete with diagrams showing my clever fitting modifications and their consequent improvements.

May 2018

It was a busy month, in which I spent a lot of time testing a pattern, bought a good amount of fabric than I probably should have, and also completed two pairs of jeans and a cardigan that will be very useful in Bogota.
