ONLINE: Sew the Perfect Jeans with Beth Galvin - 4 Week Course

Sew the Perfect Jeans with Beth Galvin

June 1 - June 24 (8 Meetups)

Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7-8:30pm (PDT)

Looking to build your skills and make new sewing friends? It's always more fun to sew together! This online class is part formal class instruction from our expert garment instructor, Beth Galvin, and part sewing social time sprinkled with helpful hints, tips, and (virtual) helping hands.

Learn to make your own jeans! Using the Ash pattern from Megan Nielsen patterns, you can choose from a number of great styles including: a modern slim leg jean, a skinny jean, a flare jean, and a wide leg jean. Get the fit right on one of the styles and use that as a template to make the other three. We ❤️that!

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• Choose the correct size
• Cut and mark your fabric
• Baste to check fit
• Sew front and patch pockets
• Sew a fly front
• Topstitching tips
• Proper seam finishes for jeans
• Apply the waistband and belt loops

See what "real" people look like in these fabulous jeans by checking out the #mnash hashtag on Instagram.

If you're a more curvy person, you can use the Cashmerette Ames jeans pattern. See how cute these are? #amesjeans And listen, these are our 2 favorite tried & true patterns, but if you already have a jeans pattern you would like to work with, you can do that, too! Another popular option is the Ginger Jeans pattern by Closet Core.

During this course, you will meet every Tuesday when Beth will introduce a new topic or skill that will be related to the project. Then meet up again on Thursdays for Social Sewing and help with construction and fit questions.
