It only downloads in a size 16, but with 2 teenage girls, I figured it could just tweak it for each one (one is smaller, the second a little larger). I don't personally find jeans particularly comfortable to wear, maybe I need to make some in a stretch denim and see if those wear and fit better.

I made the regular rise and it is great ( I'm really petite so I adjusted the length). But now I'm exercising and losing a few inches, so I'll try with you the low rise one. I need some advise with finishing details like topstitching and rivets.
