Although I have lots of pairs of jeans (8?), at any one time half of them are either too big or too small for me.
And with this logic I present my latest finished sewing project - Style Arc Sandra narrow leg jeans. I used denim with minimal stretch and cut a size 10. Though I could probably have gone with a size 8 around the back hips as I took about an inch off through the hip. Other that this the only modifications were to shorten the crotch a smidge and the legs a lot.
Just so you know, I was going for a slim leg look rather than a skinny leg.

| The back view is really unimpressive but trust me - when i'm not posing for a bum shot it looks fine! |
 |
| I bound the bottoms of all my leg seams with scraps of Liberty print fabric (leftover from my shirt making). So I can show off my red leather laceup boots! |
Overall I'm pleased with the final result though having seen the back view photo I can't stop myself from hitching the jeans up whenever I change position. I've decided it's a flat bum effect and may do something about it next time I use this pattern.
Funny how the fit around the hips and bum is quite different from that of my
Style Arc Sandra wide leg jeans.
