Getting started

These photos shows my original pants marked up for info transfer. I now have them pinned to the organza (not shown) and am ready to use my colored pencils.

Tip: mark your pants on the side with the zipper top-stitching, oops!

These are super stretchy cords so I had a little trouble with the threads pulling out if I accidentally stretched the fabric, particularly on the cross grain. I am planning to use stretch denim in my new jeans as well, but I doubt that it will be as stretchy as the original. These cords fit perfect straight out of the wash but then get saggy by the end of the day. I'm hoping that slightly less stretch will help them stay put better. hugs and kisses, love Karin
