Me Made on Trend: Patterned Jeans

 Just a quick post to show an outfit that I wore last week. The jeans are me made and I'm really happy about the fit. I used my modified Burda pattern that I also used for the corduroy pants. The fabric for these jeans I got from Buttinette, but it seems to be sold out right now. It has some amount of stretch and is a really nice material for skinny jeans. From a distance they look like normal black jeans, but in the closeup you can see the pattern. This type of jeans is quite on trend right now and Erica B made a similar pair as well. She also links to some of these jeans that you can get in the store.
I pair them with an old sweater that I knitted, when I was about thirteen. It used to be quite roomy, but now it's a normal size. It's a kind of piece that will stick with you, however your body changes.

The fit is great in the back as well! I also added pockets, but they don't really show due to the pattern. But they are an intersting feature.

Lekala download patterns

Lekala is having a special download for this month. You can download the pattern in a Burda size 44, which is great because that is my size. These are the patterns I saved for myself.

Same pattern, 5 different looks

 As I don't have any lectures today I have too much time on my hands and therefore I did a little photoshoot with my different tops from the same pattern (Burda 07/2000 mod. 128). The first one is made from some cheap mesh like fabric that I bought at Karstadt in Düsseldorf. It can be either worn like this, really flowy and perfect for a hot summer day, or with a belt to give it a little bit more shape.

 This is a cotton that I bought at Alfatex. The print really caught my eye. I also made a blouse from the same fabric which I will show you sometime soon.

 Again a digital print fabric from Karstadt.

 This fun print with the ballroom dancers was bought at a little fabric shop in Colchester / Essex.

A tribal print that I got from Alfatex as well. This has elastic at the neckline which improves the fit.
The shorts that I'm wearing in all pictures are hand-me-down pants by my uncle of which I cut off the legs to make them into shorts.
