Learn to Sew Jeans | Sewing Class

I said I’d never sew jeans until I took this class

I’m a fairly experienced sewist and I learned so much from this class excellent. The reason I said I would never sew jeans was because of the level of detail involved, the fitting process, and because I generally gravitate more wearing towards less rigid trousers. However, when I saw the class was on sale (and after dipping my toes into sewing denim trousers with another company’s pattern), I thought it was time to try sewing classic jeans. I’ve now made two pairs of Frank jeans and I’m very happy with them. All the tips that Heather gave that were not in the written pattern instructions definitely made the process much more enjoyable and my jeans more refined. The class forum is also a tremendous resource. For example, after making my first pair and saw that the zipper was set in a bit too much, I read a great tip about how to use a zipper with a wide tape from one of the posts (something that neither the instructor nor the written instructions addressed). Overall, this class was incredibly valuable.

I made my best pair of jeans!

I am a long time sewist and decided to make the Frank Jeans. I thought the class was reasonably priced and made the decision to check it out. I am very impressed by all the information Heather packed into the jeans series. I got so many tips on jeans making, that I feel it has upped my sewing game immeasurably. My wearable toile (after two short toiles) fits me like a charm and I'm currently working on the denim version. I can't say enough about all the extra tips included and the logical pace Heather sets. It's a recipe for successful jeans making! Thank you Closet Core!

Learning to Sew Jeans

About to cut into my fabric as fitting the muslin is complete. Great course! Looking forward to finished product as this will be my first non stretchy jeans ever. I have made The Rija pants which are non stretchy and that gives me the confidence to proceed with the Frank jeans. Course helps a lot!
