Chalk and Notch new pattern and I knew right away I needed to make it.
This pattern is the Isle Jeans and I love the retro look of the pattern, just my style! The pattern needs stretch fabric with at least 10-15% stretch. I purchased a stretch cord from Style Maker Fabrics in brick color and it has 30% stretch, so I had to make some fitting changes on this one.
I printed out a size 8 and size 10, the 10 for the waist. Now I took in about an inch at the hips and about 1/2" at the waist. I am thinking it is the stretch amount, so I will make the same size for my stretch denim. This denim was also purchased from Style Maker Fabrics and it has 15% stretch. I will take around 1/2 inch to an inch out of the rise for my next pair. I am long-waisted and I try a high-waisted jean as is but most of the time I take a bit out of the rise.
The instructions are amazing and currently Chalk and Notch is hosting a sew-along, find it on their Instagram page.
I did add 1 inch to the length above the knee but really just needed 1/4" of this length, I did need to get the knee placement for the flare choice, which is fitted to the knee. This is all the 1970's vibe, which I love.
One problem with taking so much in on the side seams and I didn't notice until these photos, the back pockets are a bit too far apart on my bum. I am not going to change it on this pair but will be aware of this on my next pair.
Try out this pattern, it is such a good one!
The jeans fit wonderfully. I love the flares on you. Eileen

ReplyDeleteLove how the retro 70s vibe came through with your Isle Jeans—those fitting adjustments really show your attention to detail. It’s interesting how fabric stretch can completely change the outcome, but you handled it thoughtfully. That kind of trial-and-refine approach is something teams at Cloud Innovator Solutions can definitely relate to.
