Sewing Up Spring 4- Jalie Eleanore Jeans

The last thing I needed to add to my spring capsule was some skinny jeans. So today on

The Jalie Eleanore Pull On Jeans are the perfect pattern for my skinny jeans aspirations. Before I get into the fit of these jeans (and it is clear they don't fit), I want to point out a few really important things.

#1- I made these jeans last month
#2- Since last month, I've lost weight.
#3- This is why I try to photograph things right away.

Now that we have that out in the open, let's talk skinny pants. I bought the Eleanore's on March 23rd. Made my quick muslin and was like "whoa" no adjustments? Awesome. Put together my full length pair and was VERY happy with the fit. It was perfection. I've worn them several times.

Now that I've lost some weight and my body has redistributed after starting some more intensive leg workouts, my pants don't fit. :( Don't get me wrong, they're still very wearable. They're just definitely not a snug fitting jean anymore.

For those that don't know, the Eleanore has a yoke, faux fly, faux front pockets and real back patch pockets. Jalie instructions, are more basic, but if you have an understanding of basic pant instructions, you should be able to put them together fairly easily. Be prepared to do a LOT of top stitching, but no one will know they're not RTW.

I'll be making more pairs of these, I'll just need to size down. That's a decent problem to have.

Be sure to follow along to be inspired!

Hi, I'm Ti and I'm so happy you're here. I'm a self taught seamstress that loves to focus on good fit, well drafted patterns and of course, FABRIC! As a self proclaimed fabric-aholic, it only made sense to open a fabric store, thus, Simply by Ti was born. Here on my blog, you'll mainly find work that I've done for myself and my family. I am always looking to expand my sewing abilities and spend a lot of time learning new fitting and sewing techniques. I aim to provide objective, honest, creative content that will keep you actively engaged and wanting to read more.
