You know how it is, the moment you salute the spontaneity and serendipity in your sewing is the exact same moment that you suddenly develop an overwhelming desire to produce a precise and purposefully plan. I therefore rather sheepishly present the latest Crafty Queue:
Can I also ask a question? Is there a difference between jeans and trousers made from denim?

That’s a very philosophical question! I would argue yes, there is… For example: I would (and have) worn denim trousers to work, but I wouldn’t wear jeans…
My good and clever friend I too would argue yes! I’m sure that at a place that I once worked (insert knowing wink here) there was a ‘no jeans’ policy. Whereas denim trousers can be jolly smart and would have been (and were) most appropriate. For my trousers/jeans I’m thinking side zip, medium leg, decorative buttons at the front and embroidered/fancy patch pockets at the back. Mostly I’m thinking that if I tell myself that they are trousers of denim I’m not going to have to spend three weeks doing something clever with the seams. Or scarier still – rivets on the pockets. It’s not like I’m going to be entering a rodeo any time soon :-))
