Take your sewing to the next level and make your own custom jeans! Sewing yourjeans doesnt have to be scary or hard – and instructor/Jeans Queen Lauren Taylor willshow you just how approachable (and fun!) it can be!

Students will learn using the Ginger Jeans from Closet Core Patterns (available in
sizes 0-32 / 33-63 hip) – a classic high-rise jean made with stretch denim. Students will have the option to make either the stovepipe or skinny leg version of the pattern. We’ll review everything you need to know to make a professional-looking pair of jeans – choosing the correct size, basic fitting adjustments*, tips for accurate topstitching, serged seam finishes, an easy fly-front zipper, and installing all that hardware!

We’ll kick off the weekend with a half-day to choose your size (we’ll have pre-made samples of the Ginger Jeans so you can try them on!) and then cut and mark your denim. Construction will begin on Saturday and continue through the weekend. You will leave with not only a new pair of jeans but also the knowledge and empowerment to make more on your own!

* Please note that this is not a fit class. The focus of this workshop is jeans
construction. We will not go over fit beyond very basic fitting adjustments at the beginning of class.

Skills Needed: Prior sewing experience is required to take this class. You must be comfortable threading and operating a sewing machine and have sewn at least one garment pattern. This class is best suited for intermediate+ sewers or adventurous beginners with a little experience under their belt.

Supplies You Provide: Class includes fabric + hardware kit; supply list will be emailed.
