Jeans in a Week

Saturday, 12/5, 12-2:30
Have you always dreamed of sewing the perfect pair of jeans? Want to take your sewing skills to the next level? Join pattern designer Nat of Neighborhood Patterns for a week-long jeans-making intensive! In this class, Nat walks you through every step of sewing a custom-fitted pair of “Matchbook Jeans.”
Prerequisite: Know how to sew on a sewing machine, thread it, and troubleshoot machine issues independently. Have experience using a commercial sewing pattern.
You will gain skills to
Make custom adjustments (for the rise and inseam) to a pants pattern
Sew a pair of jeans that stand the test of time
Sew a J-pocket
Sew a zipper fly
Jean-specific topstitching
Make a structured waistband
Class prep:
Email Nat here with your height, waist, and hip circumference measurements. Nat will help you to select your size and recommend any needed adjustments
Pick up your supply kit from the Sewing Hive (this will include your pattern and tracing paper)
Trace out your size. - Nat will provide your patterns as part of the required kit.
We will make adjustments on the first night of class. For now, just trace your selected size!
Prewash fabric (Wash, dry, and iron) - denim shrinks a ton. Wash and dry 2x to be extra safe!
Materials details:
10oz or heavier (non-stretch) denim: review the size chart for your specific size and required yardage. The Sewing Hive has a limited quantity on hand for students at $14.99 a yard.
Please do not purchase denim with stretch or anything lighter than 10 oz, as it will affect the fit of your final garment
Pocket bag fabric: 1/2 yard Lightweight cotton (quilting cotton works great here)
Students will also need to bring the following supplies:
Sewing machine
Serger (optional; there is one shop serger available for use)
Marking tool of your preference
Rotary cutter OR sewing scissors
snips/sewing scissors
Denim sewing machine needles (16 or heavier)

Cost: $260 + $12 (supply fee) = $272
