Jeans!

I finished my first ever pair of jeans. Or, I am so close to being done that I might as well call it finished because it was SUCH A TASK. The pattern was 1/3 Simplicity (zipper, fly), 2/3 me (pockets, legs, waistband). I am really happy about them, though I still need to sew the button on and line the seams inside. It was such a long, hard pull to finish them, so I am going to wait a little bit to do that. I also haven't unpacked my button foot for my sewing machine, so that might have something to do with it...

Though it was really difficult to make these, I really want to try again. I found a seamstress to help me out with fly closures, as that was the most difficult part for me (the rest actually wasn't bad, except attaching the waistband for some reason). So, maybe there will be some more projects to come.

In terms of school, I am reading a lot of Itten books, and making the pattern for my first 100% mine piece of clothing (a shift dress). In truth I am kind of being a slacker, though. Something about Spring....
