Wow Kay...thanks. I put off trying jeans for five years, trying to get up the nerve. I hope you jump in and make a few pairs, you'll get the hang of it.

Thank you so much. I think the brass rivets really help them look finished. I had to hunt for them and finally found them on eBay.

Thanks. Sometimes I have to put my projects away for a while before I wear them so I can forget the things that bug me about them.

Thanks. Now I'm going to branch out with some jeans in other colors. So far, all my pairs of jeans have been from the same fabric.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. Jeans were something that intimidated me for a long time, but no more!

I hope you don't put it off for several years like I did. I was so glad I finally tackled this project. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined it would be.
