Skinny Jeans & Black Top
The close fitting pullover top I am wearing has scoop neck with binding, draped sleeves that have pleats, inset and stitched hems.
I used a tissue thing burn-out effect black fabric. The only change made to pattern was to add 1” to waist length. I like the style quite well but a bit disappointed with the limpness of my fabric choice.
I plan to use the pattern again only if I find the perfect fabric with stripe similar to the illustration on the Butterick pattern package “A”.
The blue skinny jeans I am wearing I made earlier in the summer. I chose to make the “A” view from the pattern and went by my waist size.
I have very thin legs so it was hard to get them narrow enough. I liked the back leg seams which allowed for better fitting. The fabric came from “GorgeousFabrics.Com” over a year ago. It is a nice denim with a bit of spandex. Looking back I probably would have gone down a size or two to allow for the “growth” while wearing them. I like them a lot, they were easy to make and I have lots of tops to wear them with.
