Super Tough Jeans & Laura Jeans Video Sew Along
Both our jeans patterns for kids come with video tutorials: the Super Tough Jeans for boys, and the Laura Jeans for girls.
These patterns are your typical jeans style with details such as flat felled seams and topstitching, they allow you to make pants or shorts in denim, twill or another medium weight fabric, and are drafted for boys measurements (the ST jeans) or girls measurements (the Laura jeans).
Both include sizes from 3 to 15 years old.
To guide you throughout the construction I've prepared a video sew along course where you can see every step in detail from start to finish.
Oh, and did you know that making one of these jeans for children is exactly the same as making jeans for an adult? That's right! The construction and techniques are the same, so after you sew some ST jeans or some Laura jeans you'll be able to sew any other jeans pattern that you want.
