Learn to sew an ultimate pair of jeans that fit you to perfection with our online sewing masterclass. With three different styles to choose between, in this class you’ll tackle our Ultimate Jeans sewing pattern with our pro teacher Becca by your side.
Including all the markers of the classic blue jeans, from the topstitching to the hardware and the coin pocket, we designed the Ultimate Jeans with flattering proportions to suit everyone. Choose between a cropped ‘mum jeans’ version, a timeless straight leg or a slightly flared leg for a vintage touch.
Whichever version of the Ultimate Jeans you choose, you’ll be carefully guided through sewing up a toile, fitting and constructing your dream pair of jeans. With over 4.5 hours and 60 individual lessons you’ll come away with a raft of new sewing skills including how to get the perfect topstitching, how to apply rivets and buttons, how to insert a classic zip fly and what to do if your sewing machine doesn’t want to cooperate with bulky denim!
The class includes a PDF version of our Ultimate Jeans sewing pattern and is broken down into handy bitesized chunks so you can take your project at your own pace and dip in and out whenever suits you.
Sewing Level
The Ultimate Jeans are an Intermediate sewing pattern, but with the help of this class we believe Confident Beginners looking for a challenge can tackle the pattern.
Fabric Suggestions
Medium weight woven fabrics such as non-stretch denim, corduroy and twill. You can use stretch denim but it will require more fitting/you may need to go down a size.
Sizing & Fabric Requirements
The Ultimate Jeans pattern is sized between UK sizes 6-30 and is split into two different blocks, sizes 6-20 and sizes 18-30. See the chart for details on fabric requirements.
Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
