Fall 2011 | Project 4 - Jeans

The Apparel I class has completed the final project: denim jeans. This is an advanced project that includes learning 3 different types of zipper applications, advanced seam finishes, and deals with multiple pattern pieces. Not only are the sewing techniques challenging, the layers of denim that build up as the jeans take shape add an additional challenge. All of the students began with a basic jeans block and then created their own patterns. You can see that some students created a classic jean, others added a flare to the leg, and some created a skinny leg. The next step involved the fabric layout and cutting of the pattern pieces. Samples were sewn first before the student tackled the jean construction. The finishing touches are very individual and I hope you enjoy looking at each one. I am very proud of this class and I have truly enjoyed this semester. It has been a pleasure to work with all of the great designers in this course. I hope all of you continue to sew and design clothing. Have a nice holiday break!
