The jeans went together well, apart from the top-stitching issues. With the zip and pockets completed, it just left the waistband to do and the hem.
I used the contrast fabric which I used on the pockets to complete the inside of the waistband, here I'm just stitching in the ditch to hold it firm, then more top stitching. I will not put on belt carriers, because I don't intend wearing a belt!
To personalise my jeans I embroidered my initials by hand, inside the front pocket. The more work I do on these jeans, the more I like them. I just love the bold colours I've used to top-stitch and embellish them.
This is a front view of the finished jeans, I have not yet worked out how to take my own photo wearing the finished clothes I make.
My final picture shows inside the waistband with the same contrast fabric I used for the pockets. If I'd had enough fabric I could have used it for the inside of the fly too. But it was just a piece of patchwork fabric I had left over and thought it would be a good idea to experiment on the effect and I think it worked well.
I have worn the jeans and had loads of compliments, so I am really pleased. They are so comfortable to wear, I think I have made a perfect fit. Now I am very happy. What shall I do next?
