And gives you that I've got "good junk in my trunk" look aka Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez - way to go!!<br /><br />I do think the darker wash really works too!!<br /><br />As a self-declared jeans snob - I give you the thumbs up!! <br /><br />I read on a pattern review JStern chat that scooping out the back is how the designer jeans are made today (think true religion or hudson) - that can be super skinny or low waisted as long as they have the scooping out in the crotch - they will fit like a charm - I can tell the difference in your fit.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-90054615865886659672010-03-23T15:59:30.257-04:002010-03-23T15:59:30.257-04:00I like your jeans and I'm just wondering if yo...I like your jeans and I'm just wondering if you didn't mirror image the pocket design on purpose? As far as the diagonals it seems to be pointing to your calves for some reason. You might need to change the angle of the legs at that point. I'm so happy that my tips helped you and will add that I had the terrible gaping problem too which I remedied with a same dart in the yoke on each side of the center back.knitmachinequeen (KMQ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06905640436931172793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-54931290342032056832010-03-23T15:27:22.441-04:002010-03-23T15:27:22.441-04:00wow - they look amazing - you did a great job on t...wow - they look amazing - you did a great job on them - I have made this pattern 3 times and I still never got a "perfect" fit - that, I'm afraid, only comes with stretch..grrrrr.<br /><br />still yours look so very good - brilliant job with construction.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378589566734873974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-6129679118175982212010-03-23T14:48:21.930-04:002010-03-23T14:48:21.930-04:00Great jeans!Great jeans!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836486379427368704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-53770549196103920602010-03-23T14:05:44.502-04:002010-03-23T14:05:44.502-04:00They look fantastic!!!!

Maybe that will become your trademark!<br /><br />You might like to take a look at <br />http://www.trudyjansendesign.com/<br />She has a jean pattern which has a seam right up the middle of the back leg.
