Hopefully the denim eases up a bit for you - although they don't look tight from where I'm sitting.<br /><br />I've started using regular thread instead of the topstitching for my buttonholes since my machine doesn't like the thicker stuff. I figure slightly thinner thread looks better than a rat's nest!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756048999067152284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-963586242514199392011-06-23T07:30:01.919-04:002011-06-23T07:30:01.919-04:00they are totally worth the extra effort in laundry...they are totally worth the extra effort in laundry - the whole outfit is just perfect.

I only ever sew with 2% elastane - the perfect amount, you can sit down without saying "ouch" and yet it's not so cozy down there that people can see more than they ought. I know there are people out there who can pull off stretch jeans but it's not me.<br /><br />I love white jeans. I love your white jeans. I do hope the denim stretches enough to make them more comfortable for you,Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-4130573819276659442011-06-22T21:54:39.954-04:002011-06-22T21:54:39.954-04:00I really like the style of these with the wide leg...I really like the style of these with the wide legs.

Well, because I only have one machine. Yes, I'm looking for a backup. Especially if the yard apes stay interested in sewing for more than five minutes. My Janome can't do a jeans buttonhole to save its life, either.<br /><br />That's a major bummer about your stuff. Moving companies are such a pain! (But then, doing it yourself isn't so sweet either...) Grr.
