This is my second and most successful version of the Ginger Jeans. Even though these fit pretty well, there’s still some problems with them.
Pattern: These are the high rise version of the Closet Case Ginger Jeans. – the first ones I made were the mid-rise version. For these, I graded between a size 4 in the waist and an 8 in the hips, as per my measurements.
Fabric: Thin stretch denim from Lincraft. Really crummy quality stuff, but I thought these were going to be a toile.
Buttons: From stash. I did a button fly (because I forgot to get a zipper) and used a pinky red button for the main closure, because it made me feel like Steven Universe.
As you can see the fit is pretty good through my waist, bum and legs. But I attribute this mostly to the amazing stretch of this fabric and less to my fitting ability.
The pocket does this weird tuck thing, but looking at the pattern product photos, there’s a little tuck in the pocket in those photos too so I guess it’s a pattern problem – theirs isn’t as pronounced as mine though. 
So these were a toile to see if the fit was right before I made some corduroy ones. I’m not even going to blog those, they turned out so frumpy! My problem was that I sized up for those to account for the difference in stretch between the cord and this denim. Epic fail! I still wear them but gosh.
All in all these are a great fitting pair of pants, with only a minor pocket problem. Also in these photos I have a hanky in my pocket so that’s why there’s a lump there! Can’t be without a hanky. I don’t wear these pants if I’m going to have a big meal because I get kind of bloated and uncomfortable around my waist. But a great pair of pants!
