Dalle foto non si direbbe che siano così male... Io non sono una grande amante dei jeans, ne ho cuciti alcuni ma la cosa che fa rabbia anche a me è che il jeans che si trova in giro non ha la stessa consistenza dei jeans confezionati, spesso è troppo elasticizzato e cede veramente tanto. Credo che dietro ci sia tutto un sistema di lavaggi e passaggi industriali che noi sarte casalinghe non possiamo realizzare... Comunque davvero brava e ottimo colore che gli hai dato con la coloreria, mi piace molto!!!Francescahttp://www.ateliervicolon6.jimdo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511112314839165801.post-24254870937622989622015-02-12T00:16:11.071+01:002015-02-12T00:16:11.071+01:00Thank you Emily! - I definitely need to find a &qu...Thank you Emily! - I definitely need to find a "creative" solution - chipping the color through sanding proves difficult though ... because I dyed the fabric (twice) the pigment doesn't sit anymore nicely on the fabric but penetrated the fiber ?!- ... the major problem though is the lack of proper recovery -I like wearing them they are very comfortable so maybe with wear the fabric will just loose completely its elasticity and I'll have a nicely fitting pair of boyfriend jeans ;) <br />ps.

It's too bad about the fabric, but also kind of good that you didn't use up a bunch of pricey yardage when you still want to tweak some things for next time. The fit is really, really great though! Maybe you can continue to play around with distressing and finishing techniques on these to disguise the bad fabric?<br /><br />hahaa, love the dog photos and internal dialogue...

It just makes sense - the yoke would curve over and down to meet the pocket seam, and I would accentuate the 'heart shape' in back.

The way those lines...Thank you so much Sara :D !!!<br /> The way those lines are broken in RTW might not be motivated only by aesthetics but also by the technical construction aspects. Sewing through 6 layers of denim plus 6 layers of lining (double all up for topstitching) must be not so easy even at a production level - in any case would result in a big lump of fabric on your side and I don't think that is comfortable. I took advantage of the lighter denim (that I also hammered) - to see how it looked. In the pair I'm sewing right now I can't do it (the fabric it's too thick) so I just adjusted the cut of the front pockets slightly to break the line :)Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189832250103362452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511112314839165801.post-42011857210787394452015-02-08T21:14:49.653+01:002015-02-08T21:14:49.653+01:00Grazie Tiz!
