Do It Yourself

There are lot of chances that you already have many of the items in your sewing room or around your home, and the rest can be picked up for affordable prices from a shop.

Fabrics Used/Suggested:

The fabric which can be used for these type of jeans is a subtle herringbone stripe stretch twill. It's one of those fabrics that can be ordered online. The original pair of pants that we can make from this pattern is a soft stretch pinwale corduroy. The softness of the fabric likely contributed to their early demise. The twill is holding up much better. This pattern does not call for using a stretch fabric but a little extra stretch and recovery never hurts in a pair of pants.

Design Changes:

You can slice the pocket pattern apart in a curve below the outside curve on the front of the pants. You can use the pattern piece for the front pant to get the curve right. The top of the pocket is cut from your pants fabric and the lower, inside portion can be cut from whatever fabric you choose. It can give you a pocket that looks cohesive with the fashion fabric but doesn't show through much from the front of the pants.

Closing Tips:

Don’t forget to consider the difference between your actual body measurements and the measurements of the garment when making patterns. This will understandably have a huge impact on how the garment fits. Once you've determined what style of pants you like to wear you can concentrate on finding a pattern that will give you the right shape. Make sure to pay close attention to the length of zippers and pockets, width of the legs and of course the fashion drawings.
