I am so in search of the perfect pair of jeans. It’s been over 2 years since the birth of Iz, and well, I just can’t wear those lo-rise thingys. For really 2 reasons.
First – My middle hangs out over the waist band. I hate that. I hate it so much it makes my skin crawl. If I could join the gym, I would, but there isn’t one close by. I’m working on that middle, but in the mean time, I’d like to feel good about my bod, so I’d like a pair of jeans that don’t cut into me, yet support my mama middle belly.
Second – I bend over, squat, get on the floor what seems like every minute of my day. I don’t need people looking at my underwear, butt..ahem, or down my pants. Plus, my underwear just isn’t that fabulous these days (maybe that will change this Christmas dear husband..hint hint).
So, you see, I need a pair of jeans that fits me PERFECTLY. But perfect is a tough thing to come by. I’ve tried on so many pairs of jeans, inexpensive, moderate, better, bridge. I can’t really afford anything above inexpensive these days (and Old Navy seems to be catering to the lo-rise fan club), so I’m stuck. But not really anymore. I decided to do something about it. I’m going to make a pair of jeans that actually fit and look good. And, I’m going to do it with a few other stitchers…
I’ve been doing a bunch of research. I found this old article in Glamour Magazine.
Of course, after trying on all these jeans, I can tell you what I want in my jeans:
I want them to fit, my butt, waist, thighs and look flattering, make me taller and slimmer looking.
I want them to be comfortable, yet provide a bit of tummy control.
I want cool pockets on the back, placed just so, so my butt looks smaller than it is.

Wow!! Making jeans from scratch, this will be interesting to fallow. I usually end up tweeking my already bought pair so they fit right.
good luck!
