Yay Karen Marie! Thanks so much for the lovely words thanks ☺️ and for doing this collab! It’s going to be so much fun 👖🩷 brilliant resources here too. You’re a mine of information!! X
Just popped over from Rachael's Chanel, I sewed my first pair of the Dawn jeans earlier in the year but I will be following you on your journey, I also need to work on the fit so I'll be watching with interest, I agree with you with the polyester thing, xx
I just found you thanks to Rachael and I’m so glad! I, of course, subscribed and I’m looking forward to following along on your jeans making adventures!
I’m in! This will be my first time sewing “proper” jeans and my first time sewing with a Megan Neilson pattern. Does the PDF have layers for the different sizes? Inquiring minds need to know. 🤔 Thanks to both you and Rachael for taking on this challenge. 😘
Many thanks to Rachael for adding the link to you. I have of course subscribed and liked. Brilliant collaboration and thank you for talking about the denim considerations, because I don't have a clue. I want indigo denim and 100% cotton, except for the elastane, so am keen to hear what you have to say, when you've purchased. Got a posh frock to finish and then I'll be unashamedly copying you.
@@madebykarenmarie I'm making the Lois by Tessuti. I've lengthened the bodice a little and moved the bust dart down. I've also lengthened the skirt, because I'm tall. The fabric is a linen mix of creamy yellow flowers that I've had in my stash, and wasn't expensive. Discovered there is no need to put in a zip, unless I suppose one is super busty. Off to Glyndebourne to see a performance of Carmen and of course we'll be picnicking on the lawns and planning a very indulgent spread - the Lois is perfect for pigleting. You're quite right, I should have said which dress in the first place because I know I'd want to know x
Oh this is perfect timing. I’ve been putting off making jeans/fitted trousers for so long but I really want to take the plunge and attempt a pair of The Modern Sewing Co Worker Trousers. If I can get the fit right I’d like to make these in Denim. My plan was to follow the Stitch Sisters class on fitting trousers to get my measurements correct and then try a toile. Thank you for the inspiration and all the additional jeans info. I’m definitely joining in.
@@aljgreen1 Hi! Sure, there are many ways to do it, and the patterns usually explain this bit in detail, as it is something a lot of people find somewhat intimidating :) On my first pairs of jeans, I used the instructions on the Ash, but lately I have used a different method that I learned via The Stitch sisters. I think that method covers the zip better and prevents the zip from peaking out. I’ll link it somewhere here :)
Yay Karen Marie! Thanks so much for the lovely words thanks ☺️ and for doing this collab! It’s going to be so much fun 👖🩷 brilliant resources here too. You’re a mine of information!! X
@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog I am really excited to get started, and now that I have decided on fabric, I can dive into plans for adjustments. Yay! ❤️

@@juliadroy1179 Oh, I am so glad you’ll be following our journey, Julia. And yes, I have no space for polyester in my life 😊

@@dizzyquiltsandsews oh, how lovely! Thanks! I have been watching several of your earlier videoes, Izzy, and I have subscribed, too. ❤️

Oh, I’m so glad, Lynn! Can’t wait to see your finished garment. Yes, the Megan Nielsen Ash comes as a layered PDF :)

@@vanessajackson5595 yay! I’m so glad! Welcome aboard the sewing jeans train, Vanessa. Please keep us posted on your progress.
Just come over from Rachael’s Chanel, always nice to find new bloggers 😊
@@annwilson4160 How lovely! Welcome to my channel, Ann :)
Great idea for a Collab. I was going to suggest Minerva and then you mentioned it yourself. Good luck with your fabric hunt (and the import tax)!.
Thanks, Avril! ❤️
I found you via Rachael! Exciting collaboration. I might give it a go.! Thanks for all your info on jeans!
@@mtkelly33 oh yes, please join us! Can’t wait to see the makes :)
I have a pair of cargo pants that I need to sew (they have been cut for months). So I guess I take this as a sign to not just keep on procrastinating.
@@ThePovertyPear yay! Can’t wait to see them :)
@@madebykarenmarie the Accountability pressure is on!
I apparently procrastinate one more week.
Hi, found you via Rachel. Will you please during your collab show how you do a fly zip ? Please. Thank you Ann.

Sure! Thanks for your suggestion. I'll make a note of it, and try to remember to say something about it in the reveal!
