26th & 27th July 10am-5pm both days

Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? In our two-day Jeans Making Course, you'll learn how to sew your own custom-fit jeans from start to finish, with expert guidance every step of the way.

What to Expect

This hands-on workshop is designed for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who are ready to tackle denim. You’ll work in a small group in our welcoming studio, choosing a jeans pattern from a suggested range that suits your style and skill level.

Over two full days, you’ll cover:

• Choosing your size and cutting your denim

• Personalized fitting guidance

• Sewing techniques for mastering topstitching

• Inserting a fly front

• Tips and tricks from an experienced tutor who has made many pairs of jeans

Whether you love the idea of handmade wardrobe staples or you’re looking to build your garment-making confidence, this course will give you the skills (and the jeans!) to be proud of.

What’s Included

• Expert tuition in a supportive setting

• Use of studio equipment (sewing machines, overlockers, pressing tools, etc.)

• Printed guidance and top tips to take home

• Tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day

What You’ll Need to Bring

• Your chosen denim (details provided upon booking)

• Pattern (from our suggested list)

• Notions like thread, zip, and topstitching thread – a full list will be provided

• Lunch (or you can visit one of Crouch End’s local cafe or shops)

Who This Course is For

You should be comfortable using a sewing machine and have made a few garments before (trousers or shorts are a bonus but not essential). We’ll guide you through the trickier bits like fly construction and topstitching, so don’t worry if you’ve never done them before!
