Description

There is no other piece of garment as classic as jeans. They are surprisingly easy to make. Once you get the right fit, you’ll never want to buy another pair, ever! Liana Stretch Jeans are designed to fit real women. These mid-rise jeans have three different leg options: skinny, straight and boot. You will want to live in these jeans 24/7!

Liana Stretch Jeans features:

• Options for skinny, straight and boot cut legs
• Mid-rise that sits higher in the back for better coverage
• Classic five-pocket design with optional back pocket flaps
• Pocket stay to keep pockets in place and trim the tummy
• Layers feature–print only the sizes you need

Suggested Fabrics

Primary Fabric: Use a 7 to 12 oz (237 to 406 gsm) stretch denim fabric with 20% to 25% stretch. You may use twill or corduroy with similar weight and stretch. See “Choosing Your Size” in the instructions if you are using a fabric with more stretch. Lining Fabric: Use a stable, non stretch woven fabric for the lining. Quilting cotton is a great choice.

Choosing your Size

• Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your waist best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• It’s OK to use different sizes for the waist and hip. All you have to do is print the sizes that you need (see “Printing Instructions” and “Blend Sizes” in the instructions), and blend the lines from one size to the next from the waist to the hip.
• These jeans are designed to be made with denim or twill fabric with 20% to 25% stretch. If your fabric has more stretch, the jeans will be looser (and possibly be too loose). The general rule is to use one size smaller if your fabric has an additional 10% of stretch. For example, if your measurements fit size 6, and you are using a fabric with 35% of stretch, then use size 4 instead.
• Keep in mind that if your fabric has a looser knit or more drape, your garment will be more relaxed and larger. You may consider a smaller size for a more fitted look.

• I highly recommend that you check your fit by making a test garment with fabrics that have similar weight and stretch as your final garment fabrics.
