Have you ever had to tearfully part with your favourite pair of jeans because they were threadbare? Meet Babette, the new apple of your eye – a pair of high-waisted trousers (jeans) with wide legs, all the pockets and a zip fly. Never sewn a zip fly? Not a problem! We show you how to sew it on from the first stitch to the final press. Wear these jeans ankle length or even floor length to boost their retro feel. We show you an easy way to alter the length here.
Fabric advice
Your best bet for Babette is stretch or no-stretch cotton twill. They will also look divine in corduroy or leather(ette).
