In the wardrobe / Cross grain jeans?
« on: September 11, 2019, 00:03:02 AM »
Let's say for sake of argument that I had a couple of denim remnants that had enough surface area to squeeze two pairs of jeans out of, but the lengths meant that I could only get the main fronts and backs out whole for one pair. I could get the second pair out by piecing together a couple of legs lengthways and trying to make horizontal knee seams look like a trendy feature.
Alternatively, the second set of fronts and backs would come out whole if I cut them on the cross grain. My gut instinct is that maybe denim is a directional enough material that weird stuff would happen if I tried this. Am I right? Is it crazy talk? Or would it work?
Any advice/experience gratefully received, otherwise I'll start thinking how to make flat-felled knee seams look intentional.
(It's a 10 or 11 oz non-stretch denim, for what it's worth.)
