Red jeans

I wanted red jeans for ages. 

I got this nice cotton twill years ago—for nursery projects—and cut and even pinned everything months ago. Finally did the sewing part this weekend!

Red jeans!

The pattern is one I drafted years ago from a pair I got in a swap. That was back in 2017 I think—middle of a 4-year posting drought. Here’s a pic of them from a few years ago. They’re the pants I use to make sure my weight isn’t changing too much. Rigid denim is not forgiving! That said I kinda wish I’d gone with a more contemporary wide-leg cut for these, but oh well. They’ll be in style again eventually and I’ll wear them then.
