Hello All,
Can anyone tell me how you judge the amount of ease to use when sewing pants with denim? I just made a pair that I tested in muslin before cutting the denim. The muslin pair fits great, but the denim stretches out after just an hour of wearing. Right now the fabric has stretched so much that the crotch point is a good 2 inches below my body and I can easily grab about 2 inches at the center back seam without causing any "cupping" in the front. The knees have stretched to the point where they just look silly. I did wash the fabric to shrink before using it and now I'm wondering if the answer to the problem is to make the pants to fit and then wash allowing the fabric to shrink. Thanks for your help.
