Ginger Flares

The Ginger jeans pattern was on my radar from when it was published, I loved the skinny version but just didn't see myself making it. I already have skinny jeans that fit, but prefer more boot cut jeans. But when I first eyeballed the flares expansion , I nearly fell of my seat! Big 70s flares a la Led Zepplin - yes please!! First thing to do was find the fabric. I spotted this pair that Maeve made on Dress Fabrics blog, and ordered the fabric from the shop. This fabric is gorgeous, it has 5% stretch and the colour is lovely. The zip came from my stash, buttons and rivets from ebay (more on them later), and the pocket lining was left over...
