Washed the selvedge denim jeans I sewed (I know, I know, heresy for the collectors... but I don't exactly have a blue jeans freezer available, lol), before sewing another pair. Cold water, line drying. Definitely some vertical/length shrink still (and bled more indigo). Also some shrink in width, so it is good I built the original loose. Still loose fit. Had to iron the selvedge edge as it had curled (did it while still a little damp). Drying the rest of the way now again on the line. #sewing

@artcollisions Thanks! I'm glad they held up after the wash, lol... true test of your sewing.
@ai6yr I always hold my breath until after the thing is washed!
@ai6yr they look good!
