Spend a full day making your own pair of unwashed denim jeans in a small, modern studio designed for hands-on learning. This workshop focuses on creating a women’s straight-leg, mid-rise style, with a clean classic look that is easy to wear and easy to customize later. The class is open to both men and women, but the pattern and fit we will be working from are for this specific style.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will complete a pair of jeans in dark, unwashed denim. This is a great option for anyone who wants to better understand jean construction while making something practical and long-lasting. The project gives you a chance to work through the main steps of denim sewing in a guided setting, from preparation and construction through to the final assembly.

All supplies are included, so you do not need to bring fabric, notions, or tools. Your denim, thread, and the materials needed for the class will be ready for you in the studio. This makes the day straightforward and low-stress, especially for students who want to focus on learning and sewing rather than sourcing materials ahead of time.

Classes are intentionally kept small so there is time for individual guidance throughout the day. The studio is compact, modern, and well equipped, which creates a more focused learning environment without feeling crowded. You will have access to industrial sewing machines and specialty equipment that make denim construction smoother and give you a chance to experience tools not often available in a home setup.

This workshop is best suited to students who already have some basic sewing machine experience and feel comfortable sewing with guidance. Denim can be a more structured material to work with, so some familiarity with stitching, seam allowances, and general machine use will help you get the most out of the day. You do not need to be advanced, but it is helpful to come ready for a full, practical sewing session.

Pattern sizes available for this workshop are 27, 29, 30, and 32. Because the class is completed in one day, keeping to the available size range helps the process stay organized and realistic within the workshop timeframe. If you are unsure whether one of these sizes will work for you, it is a good idea to check before booking so you can feel confident that the project will be a good fit.

This is a practical, skill-building workshop for people who want to leave with both a finished garment and a better understanding of denim construction. It is a small-group class, all materials are included, and the studio setup allows you to work with professional equipment in a supportive environment. The goal is simple: gain experience in the process of constructing a pair of jeans. The types of machines and techniques used to make fabrication easier and faster.
