I am Sunshine, I am either a tapered leg cut or slouchy pair of jeans. I have all the details of classic jeans: Italian pockets, coin pocket, back patch pockets, rivets, a fly front, a waistband with belt loops and contrast topstitching.

You will find a sew along tutorial for Sunshine on the blog.

PAPER PATTERN

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.

The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.

The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
