Sew, this Fall it seems as though the patchwork trend is in full swing. \u00a0I say, “YAY” it’s fun sewing! \u00a0I made some patchwork jeans last night. \u00a0I love them! \u00a0I’ve tried patchwork before and it was a failure. \u00a0I blogged about my first try here.<\/a>\u00a0This go round I tried a slightly different method. Instead of putting the pieces together on purpose while assembling the garment, I assembled the fabric as patchwork. Here’s the result this time.

How does that happen? \u00a0I used denim to create my patchwork trend. \u00a0I knew I wanted the top of the jeans dark, you know, to hide all those body imperfections, I hope. I cut out the pattern to short shorts length using the dark denim. \u00a0From there, \u00a0I pieced together whatever I could find to make a large enough amount of patchwork “fabric” to cut out the rest of my jeans. \u00a0It was fun! I used my seam ripper a few times, and had to piece some parts in at the last minute to make it work but overall, it wasn’t that difficult.<\/p>\n

What was difficult was the Mimi G pattern I tried using. \u00a0Let’s just say, it was not made for my body. \u00a0I tried all sorts of alterations, none worked for me. \u00a0I did give it a run for it’s money and my seam ripper too. \u00a0I think the seam ripper saw more action on those jeans than the sewing machine saw. \u00a0I really wanted them to work, but just like ready to wear, all styles do not fit all body types.<\/p>\n

The pattern I used, is tattered, it works like a charm and fits perfectly every single time. \u00a0I have used the pattern for three pair of shorts, three pair of pants, and now one pair of jeans. \u00a0I use Simplicity 1165<\/a>\u00a0for all my pants. \u00a0The Mimi G pattern I experimented with was Simplicity 1167<\/a>. \u00a0The pattern and instructions were great, my body just would not conform.[envira-gallery id=\"2202\"]<\/code>[envira-gallery slug=\"patchwork-trend\"]<\/code><\/p>\n

I hope to get a lot of wear out of these jeans and try other fabrics using the patchwork trend as well. \u00a0I hope this has inspired you to mess around with the technique as well. \u00a0No matter what you do, ENJOY!<\/p>\n
