Kirby skinny jeans

Success!!

After the pacman fiasco I could use some good news! And thankfully this time it went well :D The pacman skinny jeans weren't quite 'skinny' after all and I wasn't too pleased with the pattern I saw. I decided to make a few changes in the pattern and hoped for the best because I only had enough fabric for one more attempt.
Instead of cutting the fabric 1 cm bigger than the pattern I cut it exactly the same size. This way I hoped to make the skinny jeans really skinny :P The second adjustment I made was leave out the triangles above the backside. The extra shapes made the jeans too high in my opinion and I removed the frond pockets because I generally don't like the way the fabric wobbles when you put something in the pockets.. and why make pockets if you're not going to put anything in it right?
So anyway I decided to make my new skinny jeans unique by making a kirby + star design on it. Here's some pictures of how it turned out:

You know the feeling you get when one of your hobbies (yea the one you've been neglecting for too long) starts calling you and starts saying things like: "you never take me out.... you never hang out with me... " :P

anyways that's what happened to me and my sewing machine yesterday. :P I suddenly remembered I still have this piece of denim lying around and decided to do something about it. I've got a subscription on this dutch sewing magazine, but the patterns are.. how to say this delicately.. ajusted for a generation older than me.
Let me explain this.. I saw this pattern of slim fit jeans which were (very very very) high at the waist, so I decided to leave the top waistline out and thought this would be ok. So I started sewing and once everything was finished and I could 'test' wear it I noticed the waistline was still very high.(above navel = high imo).








So the 'hip and trendy' slimfit jeans have been ajusted and actually look very 90's when you follow the exact pattern...
