I'm 70 years old and I just gave away all my jeans, which at this stage in my life was 2 pair and they were skinny legs and too little for me now. I always said I wish they'd come out with a nice pull on jeans...YOU DID IT. Your embroidery work is beautiful.
I love that you work with fabric shops to help us find the right kind of fabric! Often the most discouraging part of sewing is sourcing the fabric. Thank you!
This is the first time I have made a comment with love notions. I love that your jeans have a natural waist. I get so frustrated with low-rise jeans. Low-rise jeans are for teenagers and super-trendy adults, and I don't care for them. I want a natural waist. I want a comfortable pair of jeans. Thank you for the fabric sources. Finding the correct midweight and amount of stretch I want is so hard to find in the retail store.
This pattern is right up my alley! I’m not a great sewer, yet. I used to sew all kinds of things-all my clothes, except coats, underwear and swimming suits! I learned to sew in 7th grade in home ec. I couldn’t stop after that! Woven, knits, light weight & heavyweight. Then after I finished school and was married for 5 or so years, I had two baby boys, 3 yrs apart. So, I sewed many of their clothes! And they were a lot faster! (easier styles & smaller sizes!). As the years passed I became busier and ended up going to work. I got out of the habit of sewing. Now, I’m retired and have more time and a new sewing machine, so I am attempting to learn and relearn all the skills of sewing. I would never attempt a pair of jeans now, but I actually think I can make these!! I’m excited to start. Wish me luck!
I was in the situation. Sewed in Home Ec, younger years, then stopped due to work. Now I absolutely love sewing and can’t stop. Check out Lifting Pins and needles and Thoughtful creativity. Lots of advice and tips. Love Notions Patterns are well drafted. I’d start with this indie pattern company.
I'm 65 and can't wait to make these jeans! Having made jeans since the 70's, I am more into the comfort aspect now! Wonderful pattern and I'm excited to get going!
What struck me was the fact that on all your testers, the rear view is beautiful. With this pattern, you have managed to produce a nice fit for the backside of many different body types!
I love making my own jeans and I've transitioned to only making pull-on jeans - this pattern is a winner! I use my embroidery machine to embellish the back pockets - using my own designs. The hardest part of sewing jeans is finding the perfect fabric.
So excited LN designed a pull on jean. I’m 70 yo and finding jeans that will fit and have a tall version for this odd shaped body. Thanks LN for your commitment to real women’s clothing.
Tammy and Love Notions ....you outdid yourselves with this pattern. ....having difficulty getting perfect fit Jeans ....this is going to solve my perfect fit problems.....well done!! Looking forward to a Shirt design for the men in our lives.....
I saw your short video the other day for the Crescendo Jeans and thought, “Yes” finally pull on jeans! I am a jeans girl from the 70’s and have a hard time wearing any other type of pants. Since the short video I have been watching everyday-checking to see if it was available yet. I grabbed mine this morning! I started to look for fabric right away! I also have the Legato jeans pattern with the class the last time I bought from Love Notions. I normally don’t get this excited about a pattern, knowing I can get a custom fit makes me Happy! Thank you so much for making this pattern!
This is such great timing! I've been on a weight loss journey for the last 4 months and the only sad part was having to let go of my favorite pull on jeans. I got them at a thrift shop and I've never heard of the brand before and I was thinking someone made them. I was almost tempted to keep them and just cut them down so that they fit me. Thank you so much for coming out with this pattern! My go-to embellishment is definitely embroidery 🪡
This pattern sounds just like what I need. I am 5’ with a standard rise and have NEVER found a commercial pair of jeans to fit without cutting 4 to 5 inches off the legs and totally losing the style of the jeans. Thank you!
I bought this pattern the moment I saw it advertised, and the hook was the full butt adjustment :) Thanks for all the work you did creating this pattern!
I will have to finish my Willow Wrap Dress as quickly as possible so that I can get started on the Crescendo Jeans. They look perfect for my summer farm lifestyle. Thanks for the new release and the new video. J
I actually do not own any jeans. But the idea of having some stretch ones that fit is amazing. I have only just started trying to sew trousers and get the fit right, so these sound like a super idea. Thank you
I haven’t sewn in a very long time. This sure looks like a good investment and a very doable project. Thanks so much for walking us through the ins and outs of this great pattern!
This pattern is just in time for me! I was considering cutting up an old pair of pull up jeans to use as a template…now I can “have my cake and eat it too!”
I just watched Karina’s vlog (lifting pins and needles) on these and bought the pattern straight away. As well as the comfort factor being pull-up they look fitted you’d never know they had an elastic waist, plus the ease of adjusting the rise means a lot to me, I CANNOT purchase jeans that I don’t have to keep hitching up after a few washes because the rise just wasn’t quite right. I’m 65 and from the era that looove wearing jeans, now I can stay in style with all the variations to choose from without having to hunt high and low for a brand and style that fits me.
I am reasonably new to LN and love the patterns and they are so easy to use. I have just lost a huge amount of weight and would love to add a new pair of jeans 👖 to my wardrobe. I love the RU-vid tutorials as well as I'm a visual learner.
Life has gotten in the way of sewing up your last release so I’m hoping that this much needed piece to my wardrobe will get me back in the swing of getting in my sewing room! These look wonderful ♥️
I didn’t know I was waiting for a Jean pattern like this until I watched your video! What a GREAT idea! Love Notions does it again! I hope to make one up real soon and start enjoying a pair of jeans that actually fits!!
I’m approaching 60 and my body is changing so much I don’t even know what fits anymore. I’m just beginning to see. As a kid and young adult I just wanted to hang with my brothers and engineer friends and sewing and fashion seemed like foreign languages. Thank you for making patterns that are so approachable. I’ve tried a couple of your dresses, tees, tunics that I figured could always work as pj’s if they didn’t turn out well. I’ve been afraid to try jeans, but maybe now is the time.
This pattern is just what I need and just at the right time! I was just out shopping for jeans today and came home empty handed, I was so excited to see this new pattern! I just love your patterns!
This pattern has real potential for me and my adult daughter! I really appreciate seeing the testers in their makes with different body types and heights.
Can’t wait to try these out. I’m short and fluffy. So, I have not had a pair of jeans in my wardrobe in many years. Not that any fit well in my earlier life. 57 years old. This may be a start of a whole new collection.
I love stretch denim jeans. I was so disapointed when my favorite RTW brand discontinued the style that actually fit me, so I'm really looking forward to making these jeans...with embroidered pockets!
I love the versatility of this pattern. Love the pull up style and being able to custom fit to my body. You have done an amazing job designing these Jean's. Thank you so much!💞
I have had zero desire to try making jeans before now, but I might be able to get behind these!! They look SO comfy and I already know your patterns fit me well!
I love, love, love Love Notions patterns and have made several items with very little to no alterations to the pattern. The Crescendo jeans would be a perfect addition to my other Love Notions pieces. Thank you ladies for developing such a great pattern.
Tammy is such a great designer! And, Tessa, I'm sure you'll love your visit to Hamilton, MS! I got to spend a few hours there before the pandemic. I'd love to go back, with my sisters in tow!
Ever since you first hinted at this pattern, I have been eagerly awaiting its arrival. I can't believe it's finally here. I love pull on jeans and now I can get them to fit both my large waist and my short legs!!!!!
Definitely will be purchasing at the sale price. I usually procrastinate until I miss the introductory offer. I'm excited to sew these - a MUCH NEEDED addition to may wardrobe.
Wow! The Crescendo Pull-On Jeans are amazing, and just what I need for my wardrobe! Can't wait to try out the pattern and make my own comfy, flattering jeans!
I'm so excited by this pattern. LN patterns are such great value for money with all their options. But above that, they are so well drafted and so useful in my wardrobe. Thank you for this amazing addition. I can't wait to buy my pattern.
Wow, never made jeans, fantastic looking pattern especially with all the different styles, as after all we are all different shapes. This would be a fabulous gift to learn and make my very own jeans. Thank you 🥳🎉🥰🤗
Thank you LN. I love your new format when launching a new pattern. You answered so many questions, especially for a newbie. An added bonus is sourcing fabric stores for us! Thank you! ❤
My one & only jeans are pull on from old navy (10 yrs ago) . Recently my 89 yr old mom just entered long term care & wants a pull on wide leg jean to accommodate her Foley Bladder catheter. I'll purchase the pattern, but it will be on hold until I can afford $$ the fabric. Cannot wait to wear the final jeans & gift my momma a pair too!
I am just starting my sewing journey at 46 years old, and I just had my first child. I love watching your videos and found your patterns because of Tomkat Stitchery. I've just printed your Aurora dress 😊 I would love to make this pattern as I can't find what I call jeggings,or as you call them pull on jeans, anywhere and they are so comfy and practical 😊
I haven't been able to find regular jeans that fit me, so this pattern - and type of jeans - would be perfect! Now i just need to get the fabric and get busy 🧵🪡
Having made the Sabrina Slims as Jeans about a million times, I couldn't purchase this pattern fast enough. I looove all the leg options. Winning a bundle would be amazing. I can't wait to see your embellishment video. Your embroidery looks great!❤
THANK YOU for a jeans-with-comfy-waist pattern!! My daughter won't wear regular jeans, but sometimes wants the look of *jeans* and not jeggings (especially if they don't have real pockets.) Looking forward to making these for both her and myself!
I've never made jeans, but I am excited to try. I get so weary of looking for a pair that are going to fit, feel nice & look good. I LOVE the pull on aspect, too. Normally when I find something that I like, they aren't available the next time that I want a new pair. Now I have a happy answer and I can customize them for me!
I've been seeing garments for myself since I was about 11 yo, but I've avoided making jeans bc I doubted I could get the foot and details the way I wanted. Jeans fit me well up until a few years ago, and I don't even want to try them on in a store. I'm going to purchase this pattern based on the results of the many pattern testers' gorgeous photos.
I’m new to LOVE NOTIONS… so glad I came across your site/offerings. I appreciate how you laid out development process, and anticipated what our needs are (ie. where to obtain the fabric) in order to be successful. Away on vacay right now BUT can’t wait to get home to sew! Thx
I strongly dislike all the distressed jeans in retail during recent years and struggle to locate nice dark denim ones without holes. Although I do own pattern drafting software I will buy your jeans pattern and give it a try. Being a tall plus-size with ample booty all the builtin options are very appealing! Keep up the good work.
Great timing for me. With a tall waist and a high rise preference, it's hard to find a good fit in RTW. My immediate need is golf pants for better sun protection. I need two pairs of attractive, non restrictive pants. The rare times I find a good fit, RTW golf slacks in pro shops cost $100 and up. I'll try adapting Crescendo to a midweight stretch twill or bengaline, single-topstitch the seams, and modify the back pockets. If necessary I can modify for a functional zipper. The key is the ability to easily customize the fit. Thank you for doing the tedious work for us! PS Cute pup, that Mosey. More sightings of the dogs in your photos would be welcome.
I’ve never tried sewing bottoms before as I’ve been entirely intimidated. These jeans look amazing, and like I might actually be able to do them. I’m excited to try!
