French Navy Jupiter Jeans

Buy the Jupiter Jeans sewing pattern from French Navy. The Jupiter Jeans are mid-rise in cut, designed to fit snugly on the high hip while relaxing slightly through the hip and thigh. 

The pattern includes two variations. The first gives a subtle nod to the barrel shape with its twisted seams, ergonomic ease built into the knees, and a tapered hem. The second style offers a straight leg for a more classic silhouette. Both jeans have traditional five-pocket styling, zip fly and button fly options, and a comfortable curved waistband.

Sewing level: Intermediate
