After months of planning, refining, and testing, this step-by-step design and sew-along was created to address one of the most common dressmaking frustrations—why handmade jeans so often fall short of the RTW look. The answer lies in the pattern, and this class focuses on the changes that truly matter.

What makes this class different from any other jeans course is that it guides you to create a jean master pattern. Using our basic fitted pants pattern as the foundation, the class shows how to develop a master pattern that can be used for any future jean project, giving consistent fit and opening up endless design possibilities.

Once the master pattern is ready, we move on to the pattern work for your designer jeans—waistband, yoke, pockets, leg style—and then sew them step-by-step, with practical tips for handling denim with confidence..
