Wardrobe Builder April: How to Make Denim Shorts

Nancy's Notions Guide 5 years ago

Description

We are making our own jean shorts! Using the great Morgan pattern, we will use this classic wardrobe staple to further our education on pant construction, building on what we learned in our pants video that came out in March (https://youtu.be/Dz_4WvUlNSw). Join us and show off those legs this summer in your own denim shorts or make full length denim jeans!

Nancy’s Notions invites you to join us for a year of apparel sewing that will build your wardrobe and skills by learning about a variety of fabrics and techniques. You will learn more about pattern composition, how to fit, and expand your confidence in sewing all types of apparel. Designer Joi will be guiding you through a different piece of clothing each month and will provide you all the tips and tricks that you will need to add a gorgeous new piece to your closet!

Techniques you will learn in this video:
Learn the history of denim fabric
Learn to master sewing with denim
Learn the correct machine set up, needle and thread for sewing with denim
Review the basic sewing order for pants
Review how easy a professional fly front can be
Understand the steps in sewing custom jeans
