Sew Your Dream Jeans | Sewing Class

69 reviews

I had never sewn anything by pattern before this class. And I had only sewed twice on a machine prior to this class. I think I may have sewed a button once before by hand. Well, you get the point. I came into this class knowing almost nothing about sewing and I knew that this was an "intermediate class". I had to learn how to read a pattern, learn a new sewing language, and buy a lot of tools, etc. Yes, Heather is an excellent teacher, but since I am a newbie to sewing I used the internet and books as references on how to understand things that were foreign to me. Heather was quick to answer the one discussion board question that I had. She was very helpful. I jokingly call these my Frankenstein jeans. However, I couldn't be more proud of them. It feels so good to wear them!!! These #gingerjeans no doubt have given me skills to hone and build upon. The class was so fun! I can't wait to put together the next pair! Thank you so much!

This class was amazing. I learned some fitting techniques that I had never learned. My jeans look like RTW and fit even better. Can't wait to make another pair and take more classes.

Thank you so much!

Great explanations, easy to follow instructions and you can pause and go back as many times as you need! I love my Morgan jeans and can’t wait to make the next pair with some more fit adjustments now that I am more confident. Well worth the money.

I purchased the Ginger jeans pattern several years ago and attempted to make a pair but they were not very successful, I didn't pay close attention to the instructions and struggled with them. Fast forward to 2020 and the COVID lock down, I decided to give them a fresh start and imagine my delight when I found this course! Heather makes jean making fun and easy, the video classes which are divided into segments allowed me to clearly follow the instructions and make few mistakes. I have now made 2 Gingers and will continue to use both the instructions and video for any future makes. This course is certainly worth it's weight in gold!

I initially bought this class feeling a little intimidated but desperate to finally have a pair of jeans that doesn't fit weird in at least one spot. It was so worth it! I learned so much not only about jean making but also proper pressing, fitting and great sewing tips. If you have any hesitancy this course will walk you through it. I am in the middle of fitting my second pair and I can't wait to get my hands on so more denim.
I look forward to trying so more classes!

Although I had sewed years ago I have only recently rediscovered sewing. I wanted a challenging course and making jeans seemed just that, but from a practical perspective making well fitting jeans sounded like a life skill - so hard to find the perfect ready to wear jeans. The course, and Heather, were a delight, incredibly useful advice, clear guidance breaking the process into small steps, and a pragmatic approach to the level of quality required for the first pair, delivered with good humour which made it both helpful and entertaining. I am delighted with the Ginger jeans, and know how do improve the fit next time. In fact I learnt so much that I realised I would benefit from other courses and have now done the learn to sew and am about to embark on the jacket course. The course offered excellent value for money and I am have almost finished my second pair of jeans, which are even better than the first. I loved the convenience of having the videos available for subsequent makes, and especially for the front of jeans and waistband which I watched just to check I was doing OK.
