Dear sewist, don’t fret about your torn jeans. As my mother always loved to say (and it would drive me crazy to hear) but you’ll get over it, even if you don’t want to right now. Nancy said it first, but I second the notion that at least you have a great pattern that works for you, tried and tested. Now just get yourself some quality denim, no more cheapo-depot crapola, and just do it. One seam at time…

That hurts. Especially after you did such a great job on them.

Ughh, how frustrating for you, and after you did such a nice job on the jeans! It’s understandable that your mojo is taking a little break for now. But…on the positive side, you know you have a good jeans pattern. I hope you make them again with good denim!
