Jeans are a great project for those looking for a slightly longer make, that will challenge your skills and give you a garment that is perfectly fitted to your measurements. If you’re looking for jeans pattern suggestions, we will introduce you to several of our favorites in this blog!
There are so many styles of jeans to pick from, full of interesting construction techniques! Most jeans sewing patterns include enjoyable topstitching and hardware installation. You can add decorative pocket stitching, then work out any aggression hammering in the button and rivets. Plus, you’ll take pride in discovering how fly front zippers are created to sew your own polished version. Watch our video guide to fly front zippers. And don’t forget about those important belt loops – small but necessary, they make a pair of jeans look complete. We’ve got a video guide for belt loops too.

Top-Stitching Tips
If you’re extremely lucky and have two sewing machines, you can have one threaded up with top-stitching thread, and another with regular thread for construction meaning you won’t have to keep switching threads for each round of top-stitching. If you can borrow a machine from a family member or friend, we’d definitely recommend it. Nervous about creating wobbly top-stitching on your first pair? Choose a matching thread color to take the pressure off! Check out this video on top-stitching for reference.
