Today I finished some new jeans for Toby. They are an Ottobre Design pattern (Issue 4/2012, #21), and were described as ‘narrow’. They certainly are narrow, and I’m glad that I didn’t cut any out for Nathan because this is not a pattern that would work for him. I made size 92 for Toby, and they fit him really well.

I had a play with my coverstitch machine for the details on the back pockets. I’m reasonably happy with how it turned out, but I think it would look better if there were no points where lines change direction. I’m also thinking that I should have added some elastic to the waist, but after Toby wore them all day today without them ending up at his knees, I’m hoping we can get away without a belt (which would just make them too hard to get on and off by himself for toileting). All in all I’m pretty happy with them, and I think Toby is too. 🙂
