I was chuffed when my Hot Patterns Boyfriend jeans pattern arrived from USA and was dead keen to get started on the project.
I thought if any of you are making these - or any jeans for that matter - you might like a very informal sew-along sort of thing. I will go through the following issues in the next few posts so I'd appreciate additional advice and comments form those of you more experienced than I:- Denim prep
- Fitting nightmare
- Changes to Hot Patterns - cutting out the pockets and construction -
- Fly zip
- Better construction method than Hot Patterns
- Waistband - Hot Patterns explained
Health Warning:
I disregarded the Hot Patterns instructions from about step 5 and moved to my own preferred construction procedure. I would like to point out that this is the way I make jeans and may not be the best, industry standard or any other recommended method available. It works for me - it might just work for you.
We may not look like this at the end of it - but at least you can say we tried!
This is my denim of choice for the project - a pin stripe blue. Should prove to be an interesting visual illusion.
Thanks for reading. Ruth
Hey Ruth... one thing I've learned the hard way is that with denim, I wash on HOT and dry at the hottest temp on the dryer at least 3 times, unless you really like high waters!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with this!

For the easiest every fly front zipper, here's a Sandra Betzina video from Threads.

Thanks Lynda, I've actually done both of the things you recommend - see, I'm learning.
