Morgan Jeans Pattern - PDF Download
I loved the pattern! I had never made jeans before and was a little nervous, but they turned out pretty good. I appreciated all the recommendations for fit issues and fixes. Unfortunately I made my buttonholes too large and put the buttons too far to the left, so the fly looks a little wonky--I may redo it. I cut based on my measurements and it turned out fine, I think I will redo the waistband because it's a little large, I probably should have graded to a smaller size. I'm going to make another pair with a zipper fly, which is not included in the instructions but I think I saw a tutorial for how to do it on the blog. I also want to make the pocket bags longer because my phone doesn't fit entirely in the pockets. So all in all I consider the first pair a pretty wearable muslin!
Very happy with pattern Easy to use made up beautifully. Five stars.
Loved it. My best fitting jeans, I'm going to make so many more pairs with it.
I made a pair of jeans! The instructions comprehensively walked me through the process of making my first pair of jeans! I love how the instructions include how to make the pocket bags and inside waistband in a pretty fabric that shows on the inside. I am in the process of making a pair of jeans from one of the big pattern companies that don't include this detail and am bummed that this detail is missed in that pattern. I remember wearing Levi's 501 jeans eons ago when I was in high school and loved the button fly feature on them., so love that this feature is included on the Morgan Boyfriend Jeans. I will be making more Morgans in the future!
I sewed these up in a muslin, based on my actual waist and hip measurements. They were extremely tight, not only in the waist and hips, but also in the legs. In fact, they were so tight, I was unable to close the fly opening Not sure why that would be, since I cut every piece precisely. I’ve never encountered this issue before, and I’ve sewn many pants, in addition to many other pieces of clothing. I have yet to try the next size up., but when I do get around to it, the second pair will also be cut from muslin also. The sizing just seems to be very off for me, for whatever reason. The instructions, on the other hand, are very, very good, and I can tell that the finished jeans (when I finally get them to fit as I want them to), will look great, and feel great.
I’m so excited to be making my own jeans! The directions were so clear but the size was too big according to my measurements. I was happy to make my normal size. I’ve made 4 pairs and am wearing one right now!
