Following my success with making corduroy pants, I decided to construct another pair in raw denim. I purchased this fabric for $5.99 in the Garment District with the hope this project would come to fruition. Using the same technique as I did with the corduroy pants, I included pockets, and added my embroidered initials to the one on the right. I also ironed the seams flat, which allows the crotch to lay better.
The only issue that arose with the denim was that since the fabric has no stretch, I had to make additional cuts to the foot holes in order to put them on. I would suggest altering the pattern by an half inch to an inch to allow for the extra, necessary room. Overall, they turned out great! I’m excited to wear them around town today, and will be looking into patterns specifically for denim in the future!
