I was kindly donated by five pairs of jeans by my friend Richard (through this I discovered that men's jeans are comfortable, sensibly wasited, and have pockets big enough to fit things in!!!) to cut up and use the denim. I unpicked the seams up the legs, and used old patterns I had made when I had made a dress. For some reason Richard prefers a button fly so I had 3 buttons to use and some pre-made button holes also. I cut a front pattern piece using the back of the jeans- utilising the back pocket to make a front pocket. I was able to use the left over waist band to make a cuff, but didnt have enough for two and had to use left overs. Not quite finished the collar yet.
