Thread Theory Designs Sewing Paper Pattern no.14
Suggested fabrics:
Self fabric: Denim fabric (9 – 16 oz.) or bottom-weight fabrics such as twill or corduroy. Fabrics with no stretch or up to 2% elastane (spandex) are suitable. A higher elastane content will change the fit and it may be necessary to size down. Ensure your sewing machine can handle the denim weight you choose by sewing through five layers of the fabric.
Pocket lining: Pocketing, broadcloth or other strong cottons or cotton blends. This is a great opportunity to use novelty printed cottons as it will only be visible from the inside of the jeans!
Additional Requirements:
- 1/2″ – 1″ (1.3 – 2.5 cm) diameter metal shank jeans button;
- 6 pocket rivets;
- regular polyester thread;
- topstitching thread in contrast colour;
- optional 3″ x 2 1/2″ (7.6 x 6.4 cm) scrap of leather or washable paper (Kraft-tex) for decorative back label;
- a metal tooth zipper, 7″ (18 cm) for sizes 26 – 38 or 8″ (20 cm) for sizes 40 – 50.
