Have you always dreamed of sewing yourself a pair of great-fitting jeans?
The idea of sewing jeans can be intimidating for even the most experienced dressmakers. But you will be guided through every step of the process from fitting to top stitching, constructing a fly and adding all the hardware to make your jeans look seriously professional. Including all the fitting and adjustment advice too.
On the first day of this three day course we will focus on fit and cutting, with the remaining two days used for construction.
You are free to use your own pattern but it is important to let us know what you plan to bring in case its one we haven't used before.
Please ensure you bring the printed paper pattern and instructions with you. As well as our Duchess Jeans pattern there are several we recommend including: Ginger Jeans or Morgan Jeans pattern from Closet Core Patterns or the Heroine Jeans from Merchant and Mills.
If you would like to use our Duchess Jeans pattern You can Order yours here. Please let us know if you have ordered the PDF printing service as well and we can have one printed ready for you at the start of the workshop.
This is a pretty fast paced course so please bear in mind that depending on how quickly you work you may not completely finish your final pair of jeans. But you will certainly leave with a pattern specifically adapted to fit you and the know how to finish off anything you might need to.
