I'm wearing black jeans with white speckling which is actually very stylish roses. The jeans are barrel shaped, ankle length, and my hands are in my pockets at two entirely different levels 👀 (this is down to my adjusting, not what the pattern calls for. I knew it would happen but I think it's kind of neat??)

Close up showing the waistband with two large black buttons, one square and one round. The waistband is asymmetrical, crossing diagonally at the front.

I've untucked my shirt and I'm standing looking over my shoulder. The pants are barrelesque from this angle too.

Now I'm walking towards the camera while the pants do a bit of a billow action.

Well they're done. I finished my #fibremoodbarbro jeans. And holy heck they were like the trials of Hercules - but worth it. I've seen some really tough goes at this pattern on social media so it was pure hubris of me, probably, to hit them without a toile but I'm pleased. 10oz denim. #garmentsewing

I'm wearing a pair of jeans that are black with little white roses all over. The inseams are still unsewn as I'm just checking fit.

The back of the jeans. You can see that they're barrel legged. The back crotch is too long in this picture and I've taken 2cm back out (I forgot to account for the waistband when I was adjusting)

A perfectly white seagull with bright red feet and beak peeks out from behind a bottle of tomato sauce and a roll of paper towels. All stand on a weathered wooden table

Wider shot so the last of the chips are visible and the seagull is mid flap behind the paper towels.

My #fibremoodbarbro are on the way and I'm thrilled with the fit, but I shall be making a few amendments to true the top before the waistband goes on.
And, here's our mate the polite seagull who silently makes eyes at us every weekend in the hopes of receiving just one single chip 🥹🍟 #nzbirds
