Everything I've Learned Making Jeans

Jeans are the most iconic garment in Western fashion — and they might just be the most satisfying thing you'll ever sew. In this video, Heather Lou of Closet Core Patterns shares what 10+ years, dozens of in-person workshops, and 70+ pairs of jeans have taught her — including the mistakes most beginners make and the mindset shift that will actually get you to a finished pair. This video is the introduction to our full Learn to Sew Jeans online class, where we walk you through every step of making jeans at home on a regular sewing machine — from fly fronts to flat-felled seams, waistbands to bar tacks. The full class works with any classic five-pocket jeans pattern, including Ginger, Jude, Morgan, and Frank. 🎓 Ready to dive in? Enroll in the full class here: https://closetcorepatterns.com/produc...
