The jeans project is the last project of the Apparel I course. It is the most challenging pattern making and sewing project of the semester. We use all the skills learned from previous projects to make these jeans. The patterns were given to the students and many of them did pattern alterations. The next step was cutting and layout which took a long time since there are 10 pattern pieces. After sewing advance samples such as the Flat Fell, Welt, and Hong Kong Finish they began sewing their jeans. This project required everyone to sew a fly front, the most challenging application. Yokes, waist bands, and beltloops were applied last which meant all students had to use the industrial sewing machines to sew through all these layers. I hope you all enjoy viewing the hard work that went into each pair of these jeans. The students designed this classic wardrobe staple by choosing their own shade of denim
fabric, topstitch threads, and other details like buttons or the back pocket
design. Overall, this semester was great and filled with very creative students. They often pushed themselves to do more than required and I think that is amazing. This was an action packed semester and I hope that everyone keeps sewing! Have a great holiday season.
