Yesterday I started to cut the other denim I have bought, the one that is a bit heavier (385 g/m² instead of 355 g/m²) but also has some elastane in it (everything else is cotton, that part was not negotiable), and I decided to cut pieces for two pair of jeans rather than just one, with the two waistband variants (straight, where I add elastic to the sides and back, and shaped).
And now I can work almost assembly-line style on them, and see how long it takes me to finish two pairs.
And then my jeans situation should be fine, and I shouldn't need to make jeans for myself for some time.
And today I started sewing and prepared all of the applied pockets (including topstitching a design on them that nobody will ever see because I don't have topstitching thread and used regular black cotton thread on black denim).
Then I started applying the pockets to the fronts, but haven't sewn the actual pockets close yet. Tomorrow.
This morning I haven't fully woken up yet, so I only finished the front pockets, but didn't dare start on the fly front.
I did the binding on the outer seam allowances of the fronts, to get a head start on it for later (because nothing says basic jeans like fancy couture finishes, right? :D nope, that's me not wanting to bother with the serger :D)
Also, I've found out that I had misplaced a pattern piece and need to cut that too. sigh.
Stamattina non mi sono ancora svegliata del tutto, per cui ho finito le tasche davanti, ma non ho avuto il coraggio di attaccare la patta.
Mi sono portata avanti a rifinire la cucitura esterna dei davanti con lo sbieco, però (niente dice “jeans da tutti i giorni” come una rifinitura sartoriale, giusto? :D in realtà è una rifinitura “sono troppo pigra per avere a che fare con la tagliaecuci” :D )
E mi sono resa conto di essermi persa un pezzo del cartamodello, l'ho ritrovato, e devo ancora tagliarlo. sigh.
EDIT: DANKE für Eure Boosts, ich habe wohl genug Inspiration
😊Mal ne Frage an alle, die sich angesprochen fühlen:
Ich verschleiße "bauartbedingt" ziemlich viele #Jeans. Die rubbeln sich im Schritt einfach ruckzuck durch. Manchmal lasse ich die nochmal flicken, manchmal ist das einfach nicht mehr drin. So:
Was mache ich mit den ganzen Jeans? Ich möchte die nicht einfach wegwerfen.
Laptoptasche? Handyhülle? Umhängetasche?
Fällt Euch noch was ein? Gerne auch komplett anderer Einsatzzweck 😬
@tofuknacker in meinem Lieblingsladen in #Kiel (Tofte) werden alte #Jeans gesammelt. Das niederländische Unternehmen blueloop macht daraus (und aus anderen Textilabfällen) wieder neue Kleidung. Direkt einschicken kann man die alten Jeans aber wohl nicht.
