Rebecca Page - Skinny Jeans -

 

Hello,

Rebecca Page* just released their latest pattern, the skinny jeans*.   The pattern includes two main options, your authentic pair of skinny jeans and oh-so-comfortable pair of jeggings! 

These full length jeans have a super skinny fit with high waist.  Both options have front western style pockets, a back yoke and optional back pockets. 

A few other options includes belt loops, zipper fly or faux fly option and elastic waistband or button closure.  I completed the jeggings option with the faux fly and elastic waistband.  I used my serge-overlocker for all the seams but the pattern includes step by step tutorial to complete flat fell seam at the inner leg and French seam for the outer leg. 

The size chart goes from XXS to 5XL (waist from 25 to 50 inch 63.5CM to 127 cm). I completed the size small.  This pattern is designed to fit a height of 5 foot 6.  So, I'm a little shorter than that!  I made a few adjustments to the rise (crotch) to accommodate my height and body shape.

• Remove length to the rise in the front and back.  
• Change the crotch curve at the back. (small adjustment) 
• Remove length in 3 areas from the leg. 

I highly recommend a muslin for any fitted pant pattern to adjust to your personal body.  Fitted jeans can be a bit of an art, but once you perfect how to fit them for your body type and shape, they are such a wonderful addition to your wardrobe!  Remember to use a similar type of fabric for your muslin.  I made a quick muslin to check my adjustments and I skipped the faux fly.
