NaturalDane it’s so rewarding to make jeans! I’m just waiting for my Overlocker to be returned after it’s service, then I’ll be cracking on with these! ☺️
This has come along at just the right time! I have just started my first Ginger jeans. I'm a bit further along but already having a nightmare with top stitching. I think I'm going to follow your series. Thank you.
Faydiva ah yes I had a nightmare with topstitching too, here is my blog post where I explain what I did to get around it! handmadebyditsy-tulip.co.uk/blogs/news/my-closet-case-patterns-ginger-jeans
I love your explanations, so easy to follow. I'm getting ready to start sewing my first pair of jeans and this will help so much. Thanks so much for sharing!
you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few months xD
Oh great tutorial! I would like to see how you adjusted the crotch if possible! To me the fitting is the hardest thing, I have a pair of unfinished gingerjeans waiting... to get my jeans sew-jo back,
Great video. Just one thought... if your original waistband was 1inch too big, haven’t you just reduced the pattern piece too much? If the pattern piece is to be placed on the fold, you will lose 2 inches from the new waist band? Hope that makes sense😳😀
Patricia Rainey hi Patricia, you can cut on the fold but you then run the risk of having twisted legs due to the twill fabric construction, it takes a little longer to cut out, but in my opinion worth it for reducing the risk of twisted legs ☺️it does give you more info about this in the instructions or the online class
Sharon Williams hi Sharon, it will be coming, first my Overlocker went to heaven so I had to wait to get a replacement, and then it’s been too damn hot for jeans so the summer dresses and cami’s sneaked ahead of them 😳 I will crack on with them soon though ☺️
Just wondering how the designer feels about you making this video series when she designed these jeans pattern and sells a video on how to make them? Which I purchased and a lot of your tidbits seam straight from her video. Just a thought.
sweetp1015 hi there, sewing techniques are not under copyright as they are techniques that are widely available, used and taught in a variety of methods eg the pattern designer will not have designed a technique to sew their garment, they have designed the pattern eg using a quilting ruler to check that you are on grain with the pattern piece is a widely known technique, the method to fix a sway back is also a widely known technique with loads on videos available on RUclips on how to do this. I am trying to encourage people to buy a jeans pattern by seeing that it is not a difficult garment to make and hopefully that will lead to lots more purchases of the pattern. So thankyou for showing your concern but please remember that I am in no way trying to make any gain for myself here, I do not charge for my videos, I don’t even have advertising switched on, I am purely trying to inspire people to try things that they wouldn’t ordinarily try. I also hope that you can see from my videos that I absolutely support pattern designers, always encourage people to try patterns if I have used it and enjoyed it, sharing what I love about their designs. I hope that this clears up my intentions

Wonderful, thank you! What a good sway back fix, thanks for that tip.
Really helpful tutorial. Great detailing. Thank you.
I'm so glad I found this. I'm about to cut out my first pair of ginger jeans & this is really helpful. Thanks 😀
I will be embarking on jean making as well, so I enjoy seeing how people go through their process. Great video

part 2 please!
SINIESTRA Dunkel it will be coming soon I promise! My Overlocker has been out of order so it’s delayed my jeans making 🙄
thanks for posting this, very helpful, what sewing machine do you use? mine is struggling with the belt loops!
Thanks Linda 😁 mine is a very old Janome 9000, are you use a denim needle?
@@HandmadeByDitsyTulip thanks, yes I have been using a denim needle, I'm going to try a top-stitching needle next!
Great video. Just one thought... if your original waistband was 1inch too big, haven’t you just reduced the pattern piece too much? If the pattern piece is to be placed on the fold, you will lose 2 inches from the new waist band? Hope that makes sense😳😀
Ruth E Hi Ruth ☺️ no sorrybit was 1” from each side that I needed to take in, so 2” in total, sorry if that wasn’t clear x
Got it, thank you. Just didn’t want your waistband to be too small!
How do you know if you have a sway back? Lol I assume I have because I have African heritage in the back 😉 and a smaller waist 🤣🤣🤣 xx
Why did you not cut the legs on folded material? Was this suggested in the pattern and why? Thanks
Patricia Rainey hi Patricia, you can cut on the fold but you then run the risk of having twisted legs due to the twill fabric construction, it takes a little longer to cut out, but in my opinion worth it for reducing the risk of twisted legs ☺️it does give you more info about this in the instructions or the online class
When can we expect part 2?
Sharon Williams hi Sharon, it will be coming, first my Overlocker went to heaven so I had to wait to get a replacement, and then it’s been too damn hot for jeans so the summer dresses and cami’s sneaked ahead of them 😳 I will crack on with them soon though ☺️
Thanks for the quick reply. I have the pattern and all the bits which is why I was asking ..... will wait patiently! Lol
