The color is what I was expecting and they are not too shiny. DD#2 bought me a Dritz jean rivet tool kit to attach them. From what I can tell, the only other tool needed is a hammer. Well, I also need a nail and maybe a scrap of wood, to protect the floor from the hammer.
I picked up this pattern, McCall's 5142. It is similar to the other McCall's jeans pattern, but it is a Misses' size, not a Women's. I border between Misses' and Women's sizes and, according to the pattern measurements, this one should fit me, too. After comparing the two, I may morph them, depending on what I see. From past experience, I know that changes will be made, regardless of which side I choose. For this project, I have decided to choose both.
I finally cut out the pieces for the mock wrap t-shirt. This will be another muslin as I altered the inset piece to attach at the shoulders and the armscyes. The 1/4" folded-over front edge finish will be replaced with a band. The sleeve hems will also be finished with the same type of band: a folded rectangle that is slightly stretched as it is sewn to the other pieces.
