I am planning on running another Jeans Sew Along this month over at Pattern Review if people are interested. Last time, one of the big problems was finding stretch denims. Well, Debbie Cook pointed out that Fabric.com* just got in some stretch denims
. I bought two yards of each of the following colors. I bought a 9oz, 10oz, and 12oz so I'm curious to see the difference in the denim. As always, I will post a full report once I get them.
*Remember that Fabric.com is a sponsor of my site so it you click on one of the links and buy something, I'll get a small kick-back. If you prefer to buy but not give me a kick-back, just type Fabric.com into your browser and go to the denim section.
I just received a sample of the stretch denim 9oz Slate and it is awesome. I'll be ordering a few yards soon! When are you going to be having the jeans sew along? Will you be using the Jolie pattern? I'm can't wait to try and make my own jeans...but am a bit terrified!
ReplyDeleteI bought some of fabric.com denim a month or so ago and it's really nice! Not sure what weight... I'm thinking "medium" if that was an option, but it was perfect for jeans.
ReplyDeleteI bought 2 yards of the 10oz stretch denim from Fabric.com. I like it som much that I thinking of buying some more:).
ReplyDeleteUh oh. This might just get me to break my "no new fabric until I sew some from the stash" vow. And the sew-along sounds great. I so want to resolve my fit issues and end up with a wearable pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I have a gift certificate begging to be used up!
ReplyDeleteI have stretch denim in stash waiting to be made with the famous jalie jean pattern....maybe this sew along will give me my needed push!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just got a really nice stretch cotton twill from them - I think it's on sale for less than $3/yard... I love them, and didn't know you got a kick back - next time I'll make sure I click from your website!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you have a kids t shirt pattern you ave used and liked?
ReplyDeleteBuying denim from Fabric.com is always such a mystery! I can't be the only one who thinks that all the swatches look the same.... With that being said I've never received denim I'm unhappy with from them!
