Dawn Jeans. New Pattern (Megan Nielsen). Views+++, faux leather, linen + ZERO stretch denim. HD
New pattern release by Megan Nielsen: Dawn Jeans https://megannielsen.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/dawn *NOT an affiliate link I tested the PDF draft for sizes 0-20 There is also the CURVE 14-30 size range separately I can finally share! I tested this pattern months ago and it´s partially the reason for my jean craze. I know I said I´d never make jeans....but.... I have done a 180 degree turn in my thinking. The Dawn jeans are designed for NON stretch denim and bottom weight fabric. They have a higher rise and fit snug at the hips. There are 4 views for the legs: A Tapered B Straight C Wide D Shorts All the views have different length options: regular, cropped and tall inseam. My specifics: * I made size 16 for all the views (34-44) * I divided the curved waistband to have side seams. * I needed extra space on the side seam below the yoke and above my full hip and used a 3/8" seam allowance there. * View D Shorts: added 2" to the length. * View C Wide leg: cropped length. Contrast patch pockets and innner hip yoke in faux leather (Never again!) * View B straight leg. Full tall inseam (I´m 5ft 8). I can cuff them to wear with heels. I won´t be making view A for now. The great experience with this pattern test drove me to make the Ash jeans, from Megan Nielsen also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lmj0BuiyZw&t=25s My zipper tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iF2yaCOs6U&t=530s Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/liftingpinsandneedles Contact me: liftingpinsandneedles@gmail.com
