This is such a helpful video and it's so cool to see your progress. Thanks for including the ones that weren't successes too. I'm about to try pants for the first time and I needed both the reference and inspo! :)
I love all of the raw/selvedge jeans, they were perfectly fitting your body! Now you are lean and slim all over, I am very tall with wide hips and have a huge problem with denim. And no sewing skills whatsoever. 😅
Thank you, Rebecca! Wow, you have made the jeans! Beautiful job, too! I have not made a single pair of jeans... I have made several pants, and have one TNT pattern of a simple pull on style that I use often.
Love this video! Super helpful as I have just started my jeans journey. I just made the open studio shop pant as my first and used top down center out for fitting. Definitely a tdco learning curve but they fit great and turned out pretty nice!
These are gorgeous and I'm inspired by the ambition. I haven't been brave enough to try jeans yet. Have you ever tried/heard of "Top Down/ center out" pants fitting? it might save you some of the heartache of pants that don't fit at all
Great journey! The final result inspire me. Every time i try pants ( my must difficult fit) i star with a test pattern only cut 4 to 6 inches below the crotch that give me an idea. Some times i made a second test before even try the final fabric. I applause you for try every jean from beginning to end!
Thank you! The final pairs are definitely my favorite! I think I wanted to learn all of the techniques and steps well..which is why I made full versions. I also started with clearance fabrics to learn on!
Great journey!! I’ve made 20+ pair myself and i have 2 favorite patterns. Anna Allen Persephone (which i add patch pockets front and back and lower the rise) and the Make by TFS May Jean (shaped leg) which i add the double front patches and lower the rise. Personal preference for me is mid-rise. Love the high rise on you tho!!
Oh wow, that’s a lot of Jeans, but fabulous work! I have the Modern Sew Co Worker Trousers pattern and Dawn Jeans but I’ve not made either of these yet …. I feel a little intimated by trousers. I struggle to find rtw jeans/trousers that fit me well, I’m long in the body, small waist, round bottom, hips and thighs. I just need to be brave and give them a go. Thank you for the inspiration. I’ve only recently discovered your channel and I’m loving your videos.
Thank you! It was a journey to find what I like wearing the most. I think the last pairs I share are my favorites. I understand how making them can feel intimidating at first…but can also say that when I finally decided to go for it sewing my own jeans felt like a superpower! Take it one step at a time and you’ve got this :) the Worker trousers have a good amount of ease in the hips, might be a good place to start. Thanks again for your kind words!
Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful the way it was set out.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! You are a great inspiration! Love all the patterns you chose and your work is amazing!

Thank you so much!! Learning to sew has definitely helped me to have well fitting jeans :)

Thanks! Making jeans is a bit intimidating at first but once you know the steps it’s really approachable. You can do it!

Thank you! I’ve heard of it but I’ve never tried it, I should look into it further.

Thank you! I haven’t tried the shop pants but I’ve seen some lovely pairs on Instagram. Will add to my list!

I’ve been wanting to try the Persephone pants! And will check out the May Jean too. Thank you!
My goodness, every pair look great! Jeans are my Nemisis (fitting) but you have really cracked it. Superb!
Thanks! I definitely prefer the later pairs to the first few but i learned a lot along the way.
Wow. That is a brave marathon of sewing lol
Haha thank you. These were all made over the course of a couple years.
woah you have made a lot! The first one also looks nice to me.
Thanks! I’ve learned and improved a lot by making many attempts.
