A couple of weeks ago my fashion photographer and I headed to Quebec for our annual trip to catch up with friends and family. We spent a day in Montreal playing tourist and meeting up with friends. I wore my most recent Jalie Eleonore jeans.
I blogged about this pattern a few months ago. This pair is made with a stretch twill from Britex Fabrics in San Francisco. I sewed a size R but used the length from size S. I also used 1.5″ elastic for the waist. I used this width of elastic for my previous pairs and will continue to do so for future pairs.
There’s not much to say about this wonderful pattern that has not been said by other sewists. It is a quick project that yields great results. All three pictures above are taken in the sculpture garden outside of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
The fake fly and front pockets are not obvious in this print. I like the back patch pockets. They give the illusion of “real” jeans.
My previous Eleonore jeans:
Le tissu imprimé de ton pantalon pour une visite au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal est tout à fait de circonstance. Élégante comme toujours!
Merci Lise. On dirait pas un pantalon avec une taille élastique. HiHiHi!
Such pretty fabric Lucy! Love these!
Thank you Sue!
Love this version too. I’m partial to printed jeans! Did you make the skinny version or the regular?
Thank you Cissie. This is the regular version.
I just made a pair in the skinny version but I honestly can’t tell much difference. Just wondering how many pairs of these I need???!!
I’m probably the wrong person to ask since I have two more pair lined up in my queue and am on the lookout for more fabric to make some more Eleonores. I love them!
Great fitting pants and they are gorgeous in that floral fabric.
Thank you Jean!
Beautiful and so summery! Looks like a fun trip, too!
Thank you Jennifer!
