Take your sewing to the next level and make your own custom jeans! Instructor/ Jeans Queen Lauren Taylor will show you how it’s done in this immersive weekend workshop.

What you’ll learn

Sizing and fit: You’ll learn using the Ginger Jeans pattern from Closet Core Patterns, a classic high-rise jean made with stretch denim (available in sizes 0-32 / 33”-63” hip). You’ll have the option to make either the stovepipe or skinny leg version of the pattern. We’ll help you choose the correct size and go over basic fitting adjustments.
Construction and finishing: We’ll go over everything you need to know to make a professional looking pair of jeans, including accurate topstitching, serged seam finishes, an easy fly-front zipper, and installing the hardware.

What’s included

Two and a half days of jean-making goodness: We’ll kick off the weekend with a half day to choose your size (we will have samples of the Ginger Jeans pre-made so you can try them on), and cut and mark your denim. Construction will begin on Saturday and continue through the weekend. You’ll leave with a new pair of jeans and the knowledge to make more on your own.
