The muslin fabric is the same I used for the skirt muslin, an olive green pinstripe canvas.
Marfy patterns do not come with any instructions so it's a good idea to have a plan before you start. I'll just refer to another pair of jeans for that. Also they don't come with an illustration, so make sure you capture it from the internet, just in case you don't make the pattern immediately.

I can already tell that these pieces will fit together beautifully, whether they will fit me well is another story. I have a few denims to choose from for the final, including a stretch denim, which will mean tweaking the pattern further. I will start staying true to the pattern and not changing anything just to see if they fit. For the final pair, I already know I will add belt loops, and I may lengthen them.

Perhaps the marfy jeans aren't fitting well because you didn't add enough seam allowance? I usually add 5/8"
Since it was a new pattern company I added 1" to all of the pieces, which should have been sufficient. I think it was the size I started out with.
