Closet Core Patterns | Morgan Non-Stretch Jeans

Inspired by old-school denim but with a fresh, modern cut, Morgan Jeans are a classic five-pocket jean designed for non-stretch denim.

This sewing pattern features a mid-rise flattering jeans with traditional five pocket construction, contoured waistband, tapered leg and button fly.  Choose between a regular or cropped inseam, and add an optional leather waistband patch. 

Morgan fits snugly through the hip but relaxes and conforms to your curves with a little wear. If you prefer a slouchier, more casual fit, simply size up.
