DIY: Denim Jacket from Scratch!

[@Zoejo]

I've been looking for a tutorial on how to make a denim jacket from scratch, for the longest time, and now I finally have one to go off of, that's easy for me to do! Thank you so much for this!!

[@TEENAYY1590]

Did it ever work out?

[@skee6706]

I have been sewing for decades but am self taught so there is a lot I did not learn. I learned several things from this video and look forward to sewing the pattern I just purchased. Thank you for the EXCELLENT video Great job. Can't wait to learn more from you.

[@maximuspoumie8581]

Shot out to you fam!! You are the only person on ALL of KZbin that has a tutorial for the denim jacket.

[@chris_cabalona]

💕

[@destortions]

first person to show whole process thank you

[@jamiepollard7857]

I'm a bit bummed that the first step of sewing a denim jacket is: own a denim jacket xD I eventually made the pattern from pictures, and used recycled jeans as fabric.

[@AkshayParmarkingofdiamonds]

oooh u got pics?

[@TheDIYHackers]

link for pics plz

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Jamie Pollard I agree, but every major pattern company sells at least one pattern for denim jackets....

[@BBWK4]

That’s what I’m trying to do but can’t seem to find a pattern

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

There's no need for it. Just find a reference online, take your measurements, and draw the outlines of the pieces on your own. It's just a matter of connecting the dots with lines and curves. With using a pre-owned denim jacket, all you're getting is a template. You'd just be remaking a mass manufactured product with your own hands. Instead of putting so much effort into that, why not create a custom jacket that's made to your exact measurements and fits you like a glove?

[@grahamjefferson4854]

Wow thats a lot of steps! I never thought about all the parts that make up a denim jacket, superb job!

[@chris_cabalona]

Graham Jefferson definitely a lot of steps but they are all very repetitive 😋

[@grahamjefferson4854]

Looks like it! I just finished up a color block crewneck made from two sweatshirts, but now I want to do more from scratch. I'm gonna post it on my insta soon! 😊

[@chris_cabalona]

Graham Jefferson can't wait to see it.. tag me on Instagram:)

[@giovannam925]

i love these videos, this is how I learned to sew by making patterns off of clothes. My mom used to purchase a garment back in the day when we had layaway trace the garment and return it!! lol she could make it for cheaper. Anyway great job!!!

[@AmythefirstA]

That was awesome! I love the super careful and professional way you finished all the seams. My jean jacket is starting to wear out and I'm thinking about trying to make a new one out of old jeans. First I think I'll make a mock-up and adjust the pattern to make it a bit more flattering - the best part of making my own clothes!

[@chris_cabalona]

can't wait to see the final product :) Tag me a picture on insta when you're done? 😘

[@petermomo5119]

Wouldn't believed it if I hadn't viewed for myself. Marvelous talent 👏 really enjoy the video, thanks for sharing 👍 😀

[@lanabee4306]

Same here please.

[@lindafudge57]

I love that you marked seam allowance.

[@chris_cabalona]

It makes it easier :)

[@imightbe335]

Im going to try this but put liner on the inside because the denim I have is scraps that I turn into one big piece but the underside is ugly

[@chris_cabalona]

have fun :)

[@imightbe335]

StyldByChris one more question when making your patterns did you measure and eye out the drawing or did you trace over it and how ?

[@asfandyar2288]

Super video. Lovely. Perfect job

[@chris_cabalona]

Thank you very much!

[@hisosonly1]

aye you are back, dope ass video my man!

[@chris_cabalona]

Choi Seung Hyun thank you so much? 😘

[@Buddhawrath]

How I got here: Couple weeks ago I searched for a video of "How-to hand stitch" because I didn't know how to sew anything. Now KZbin recommends this video. Me: Watches some of the video just for fun, sees the professionalism and how much work and skill is involved. .. . Uhhh I just wanted to sew a hole up lolol. Good job though... ? :)

[@Hautecoutureia]

Thank you I was looking for this kind of video 🥰🥰🍷

[@Milan-fo7tq]

Wow, I was intrigued when I read the title and it said from scratch. But it came out great, keep up the great videos 👌👌

[@chris_cabalona]

mohammed milan thank you Mohammed!! 😄

[@reyesjeffreyv]

Amazing video! May I know how long it took to make this nice denim jacket? Thank you!

[@chris_cabalona]

Thank you! 😊 I think it took me 2 days to make it :)

[@mattycorc]

I love this video, you make the seams much easier! I have question as I am a beginner. I am using this video as a guide to make a fleece lined jean jacket. First attempt was pretty sloppy, especially at the cuffs and waist where I had to integrate the lining and denim neatly. Do you have any video recommendations to help me on the lining? Thanks again for such a helpful video

[@chris_cabalona]

I suck at making linings :(

[@agustinalima]

Strangely enough, I’ve been looking for someone that did it from scratch with thin jean fabric and a pre-owned denim jacket....like seriously.

[@cooleypatchouli]

This is amazing! Please can you post the pattern for all of the pieces so we can download them to make our own? ❤️👩🏻‍🎨

[@chris_cabalona]

I don't think I'll be able to do that :/

[@hardiksharma6812]

Gajab yaar gajabbbbb...👍👍👍👍

[@jonathancaceres3722]

Anyway I can buy this pattern ? And btw excellent job. You did you thing 💯💯💯

[@chris_cabalona]

Sorry, no. but thank you!

[@archiemaughan-taylor1174]

Absolutely amazing

[@windvoice9286]

Loved this video, Im making a denim vest and it really helped me ♡ My only question is, do you have a video about how to make the collar pattern of this jacket?

[@sophiamartin769]

this is super helpful, i finally know what to do with all my old jeans!

[@sandrelacita]

I love the fold-and-press rolled seams / top-stitching! Saves a lot compared to basting everything first.

[@RidgeRomero]

you're killin it, man!

[@chris_cabalona]

Life of Ridge thanks man! 🙏🏼

[@askiasabur381]

Good work Man.

[@oleksiygoridko3022]

Is there a way to get a hold of the used patters?

[@margiemolnick9332]

You never showed how you got the step in the front edge in order to sew the collar to the neck edge.

[@jamkutsneha9567]

Can u tell how long it took u to make?

[@shairarchives]

Damn you're so good!!

[@yumikumamoru606]

Mi duda es, ¿cómo adapto ese patrón a las medidas de mi cuerpo? -_-. No encuentro tutorial de eso....

[@angelinalaake]

Hi there, if I am tracing the pattern from my jacket, what extra do I need to add to each piece for seams/hems. I am a bit confused as it seems to be different for each piece

[@LowKDR123]

thanks actually helped

[@chris_cabalona]

You're welcome :D

[@bxrdo]

Which footer did you use and what method did you use to determine your seam? [Cover stitch, overclock, single needle?]

[@chris_cabalona]

single needle

[@bxrdo]

What size needles do you need for thicker fabrics such as denim? [DDL Juki 8700]

[@yourstruly3349]

You do your cuff extra long too! I do the same. Can't help it.

[@amkha69]

how long did it take you from start to finish? Looks Great!!!

[@mrza221]

How did you get the pattern?

[@gammayin3245]

[@lindafudge57]

Excellent

[@chris_cabalona]

Thank you so much 😀
