Great
@Ouryve
I've found a couple more fitting guides which might be helpful, sometimes a different way of describing something produces a lightbulb moment

I hadn't seen the first one before either. That's brilliant. Thanks
@SewRuthieSews
.
I still haven't decided on a jeans pattern
I need to start thinking or I'll be way behind everyone else.

No rush,
@Lemon Syllabub
- we are sewing along in a very loose sense of the word!

Ok I think I’m going to join in too, I have wanted to try to make some jeans so here goes. It might well be a disaster!

I think I'm going to make
these jeans
as a first pair.
My finished jeans are going to be 'gardening jeans' so even if they don't turn out perfect I'll still wear them!

They are nice,
@Lemon Syllabub

@Lemon Syllabub
i thought of them too they look nice but I have decided on the Morgan jeans from Closet Core, they are also non stretch. I am hoping to put in a zip fly rather than buttons, no time for buttons when I need the loo!

@Ouryve
Yes, Merchant and Mills patterns always look very practical. I'm hoping to make a real 'workwear' pair of jeans. I found this
review
on these jeans and they look great for gardening. Fingers crossed.
@Cazlyn
The Morgan jeans look really nice too.

@Cazlyn
I find Croft Mill is often good for denim. I think their stock rotates (end of line stuff so when it's gone, it's gone) so I always have a look there when I want fabric and I've had some really good stuff.

Just ordered all the ingredients for my jeans, I hope they work, I could have bought a ready to wear pair or two for the price! 🙃

Not as satisfyingnor absorbing as making your own though,
@Cazlyn
I've been busy so not had chance to look at mine.
