Ginger the Fifth

March 29, 2017 by Tasha 37 Comments

Hey, I made some jeans! It's another pair of Ginger jeans, I know, I know. Big whoop. This is my fifth pair now and I'm done for the foreseeable future! I have the very first pair, the second pair that worked on the retro styling and fit and added a cuff, the third slightly relaxed Western pair, a fourth pair I'm going to get to in a sec, and this pair. This fifth pair technically replaces the fourth pair. And I ... Read more »

Western-inspired Ginger jeans

December 6, 2016 by Tasha 42 Comments

Something like 3 months ago, I finished making a pair of jeans. When we went on a vacation to northern Wisconsin in October, we took photos of them. Finally today, I'm sharing them. Let's have a little sewing, shall we? These are my third pair of Ginger jeans. I sewed them immediately after sewing Mel's Morgan jeans and my Safran jeans, and by the end of all that I was totally jean-ed out. I'd been saving some Cone ... Read more »

Retro take on Ginger jeans, a year later

April 21, 2016 by Tasha 17 Comments

Today I have three things to tell you about: a guest post, some jeans, and a giveaway (that's coming up tomorrow). But, back story first! Over a year ago, I sewed a pair of Ginger jeans from Closet Case Files. I loved them and wanted to immediately make another pair with a higher rise and even more of a retro look. And I didn't do it, as is so often the case when you get excited about something but then forget to make ... Read more »

Not forgotten: Cath Kidston inspired cardigan

January 22, 2016 by Tasha 29 Comments

A year and a half ago, I started and completed a cardigan. I never took photos, which is really unlike me with sweaters. It wasn't because I wasn't pleased with it, or didn't wear it, as I was and did (and do). I just never got around to it—until today! This is a total copycat cardigan. Case in point: Guess which one is mine... yeah okay, perhaps the Cath Kidston label and machine-knit stitch size gives it ... Read more »

Rock n’ roll Ginger jeans

June 16, 2015 by Tasha 87 Comments

I'm so happy to say I've tackled the ultimate wardrobe staple: jeans! Yep, my Ginger jeans are finished. And honestly, they might be my favorite thing I've sewn. I LOVE THEM. All caps kinda love. Actually there's a lot of all caps in the next couple of paragraphs, I'm that excited! :) They're not mistake-free, nor a completely perfect fit (is anything ever?). And I've done tailoring, and sewn jackets, but ... Read more »

Ginger jeans progress report

June 9, 2015 by Tasha 19 Comments

I thought I'd do a little progress report on how my Ginger jeans are going! Okay, actually a long one. Mainly for those of you who, like me, haven't sewn jeans before, or maybe you're scared to, or on the fence, or perplexed about the idea in general. Or otherwise just want to read some boring sewing nitty gritty about jeans. There's a lot of "these are awesome!" finished posts out there but I thought I'd give you a ... Read more »
