How To Make Jeans! Creating Custom Pants From Start To Finish - Tock Custom Sewing Tutorial

[@antoniokinsey4041]

Im 51 years old. I’m a beginner sewer. I’ve taken two classes so far. The first class, I learned some sewing fundamentals, Seams, drawstring pajama pants, a knit t-shirt, and a tote bag. The second class was a tailored shirt and a duffel bag. My next two classes will a tailored dress pair of pants, and last, for a sports jacket/blazer. Watching this video was so enjoyable from start to finish. I can’t wait to make my own pair of jeans with this video. It was awesome!!!! Thanks:)

[@tomdececco2806]

Glad to see you’re back - you really are the best sewing instructor - you make it so clear - thanks

[@TockCustom]

That's super nice of you to say! Thanks for watching, hope you make some wild new pants!

can i just say, you are an incredible teacher. I'm a fashion student, currently taking a pattern drafting class. I was bold enough to take on pattern drafting jeans as one of my final projects but I realized, I had no idea how to construct jeans properly. I have a clearer vision now, THANK YOU!!

[@TockCustom]

That's awesome! Very happy to be helpful, hope you make some wicked pants soon :)

[@1SelfStarter]

Very glad I found you! Big kudos for clear, succinct instructions, a pleasant voice; and (vital for a woman with a hearing loss) good enunciation!!!

[@joshuamasonseight-bitbasta2451]

didn't think i'd sit through an entire one hour jean making video but here i am. thanks tock!

[@TockCustom]

Lol, it's wild to me that folks actually watch this all the way through. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks man 🙂

[@gerGoPrint3D]

You got me into sewing. After 10 shirts, 2 hoodies, a bunch of shorts I am ready for the jeans. You are amazing!!! So glad you are back!

[@TockCustom]

Oh that's awesome! I'm excited to help out with your projects. Please let me know if you end up making some pants!

[@peterhunt14]

YES !! Thank God you're back Tock. You got me into sewing and I've been waiting for this tutorial for sure Thanks Man

[@TockCustom]

Happy to be back! Thanks for being so supportive. Hope you end up making some wicked pants :D

[@marciabostick6838]

To answer your question. Yes, I watched the whole video. I started yesterday at work and logged back in when I came in today lol...Making jeans is soooooo intimidating for me waaaahhhh! You are so dope!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks for checking this out, you can definitely make some pants, just take it slow. Have fun with some wild new projects this winter!

[@gordonjohnson5173]

One of the clearest explained methods I have seen.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching this, I'm self taught, so it might be crazy flawed... but it works for me!

[@stephanieh133]

Thank you for all your videos. I have the same Brother sewing machine and it's all been so helpful to see how to use it! I'm currently making buttonholes now after watching that video. Jeans are my goal. Thank you.

[@TockCustom]

Awesome, really hope this helps you make some great new jeans. Happy holidays to you and your fam!

[@jaymelang9610]

124k subscribers is it?? Dude I thought you'd have a million!! Thanks for your amazing videos! I'm a noob and I find your instructions very easy to follow. My mom sewed a lot when I was growing up, but she never attempted pants or non-woven fabrics! She had zero patience with us so I never bothered her to teach me.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching, and the positive comment. I don't know if I'll ever hit a million, but it wont stop me from sharing what I know :)

[@kelbypeyton637]

This is the first comment I’ve ever left in KZbin history but I love your videos. Im a stay at home dad and I’m learning to sew clothes for my family. Frugality turned hobby so I’ve been watching closely and I might try to do a sew along with this for my first pair of pants. Thank you for the help keep on sewing.

[@xdred2547]

I’m still watching!!!! I thank you for your scrutiny in this project, I truly appreciate you not being a gate keeper and being transparent!!! You ROCK!!!

[@WinslowFitness]

WAIT!!! I can't believe you didn't model them for us after all that :-) Thank you so much for the great instruction, and related videos for more detail. I can see a jacket patch/sleeve or something totally unique with those belt loops strips - so cool that you've saved them all. You're the best!

[@TockCustom]

I was so tired after all the filming that I forgot lol. I wish I had though, because I put them on the next day, and they fit perfectly! Thanks so much for watching

[@sandrajames7961]

First time viewer here, can i just say oh my goodness i love how you teach!

[@kaysaphy_cos]

OMG I was soooo hoping you would do this exact video! Can't tell you how hard it is to find jean videos with someone who can explain things as professional and easy to follow as you do! Keep up the hard work! Your awesome!

[@TockCustom]

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time. Happy to finally put the time and effort into a proper jeans video. Hope it helps out when you're ready to give it a shot!

[@kaysaphy_cos]

@@TockCustom Do you have to add steam allowance to the size of the pattern or is that already factored into the pattern? I just bought the same pattern you did in this video to make pants for my husband and my husband is usually a size 38. I see there is a size 39, so do I just cut pattern directly on the size 39 lines or should I add steam allowance?

[@thetock]

@@kaysaphy_cos The seam allowance it factored into the pattern, so no need to add any extra. You're good to go!

[@Toebex]

Hey man, I just finished the jeans! All thanks to your video! I can’t believe how long it took and how complex it is. I thought it would take me 2 days, it took me 3 weeks!! You made it so clear and I can’t thank you enough. You’re the man.

[@TockCustom]

Oh thats killer! Happy to help, tag me in a photo or something! I wanna see how they turned out 😄

[@Toebex]

@@TockCustom Dont have socials at the moment but when I do, Ill be sure to tag you. I sent you an email though! Thanks again :)

[@texas_guy_85]

I was just thinking king about you, then you uploaded this video 35 minutes later. Thank you so much.

[@TockCustom]

lol, that's funny. Super good timing! Very happy to be back :)

[@Mackdaddy70]

Bro, when you dropped all of those extra belt loops, and said that you had made over 100 pair of pants… That earned you a new subscriber right there. That was the best part of the entire video! Keep up the good work, and I’m looking forward to learning more about custom tailoring from you.

[@EricBentleyEB5minus2]

Very pleasant surprise to see a new video from you

[@TockCustom]

Dude, it feels great to have something new to share. Hope you make something cool!

[@rainerjohnsen]

loved the hundred and ten or so belt loop reveal

[@TockCustom]

Lol thanks! That was a fun thing to include on this video. Thanks for watching!

[@dionysislarson6352]

In reference to the 49:30 mark. I did click because it looks like fun. Not because of ease but of precision. Its construction. My body's broken now, so I can't work like I used to, but stuff like this allows me to "work like I used to". I like it. Thanks, Dude!

[@TockCustom]

I'm really happy to being able to work with you considering your situation. Thanks for watching, and thanks for building something with me :)

[@dionysislarson6352]

@@TockCustom Thanks, Man.

[@kimpayne2664]

I have sewn pants with side and front zips but never a pair of jeans with jeans zipper. I have watched this video so many times. I completed my first pair of jeans today and I’m so happy with them. They actually fit which store bought jeans NEVER fit. I really enjoy your videos. You know what you are doing and explain things well. Thank you.

[@kogabear1]

Welcome back. I have never thought about making jeans but it looks like a fun and interesting project.

[@TockCustom]

Thank you for the warm welcome, please let me know if you end up making a pair :)

I'm so glad to discover this video! I've made a few pairs of pants in the past but I am always glad to see how experts create their pieces.

[@TockCustom]

Well, I appreciate you watching even though you know what you're doing. Hope this helped out a bit along the way!

I've been patiently waiting for a new video and I'm sooo glad you uploaded one. Thank you kindly and I hope we get to see more of your face :)

Wow, that was the longest video I've ever watched and something tells me I'm going to be watching it many more times !!! Thanks Tock, Stewart, south west Australia.

You're a really good instructor. Easy to watch you all the way through. I've even learned a few things, and I've sewn a LOT of pants.

[@lidabard2121]

I recently watched you with Angela Wolf. And now this great tutorial. This is the best one on sewing jeans that I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@TockCustom]

Omg that video with Angela was super fun! I did my best to make this the most complete jeans video on KZbin... we'll see if it helps people :D

[@GabrielNaranjoC]

I'm glad that you're back. I learned to sew with you!

Super happy to be back, let's keep the new projects rolling along!

[@susannelson328]

Thank God your back!!! I had just came across your videos one day, got hooked and you were gone. You are so very thorough and I went and dug out my 50yr old sewing machine and started to get back into sewing. Thank you! I forgot how much I loved it! Keep those videos coming please.

[@prettyeyescovington5430]

YES!!! I watched the video from beginning to end! the instructions are one point! Thanks for sharing, glad to see you back!!!

[@Toebex]

Just finished my third pair again thanks to your video! I thought the last pair was perfect and the more I wore them the more problems I felt, fixed them all in the newest ones and this video helped me all the way through again. Thanks man

[@TockCustom]

That's awesome dude, happy you took the time to share that with me. It's a pretty damn good feeling to wear some custom stuff, hope you're having fun with it!

[@seannorton2741]

I’m so glad you have returned! I would love to see a tutorial on a Vogue Suit Pattern. You have rekindled my excitement at the machine and have helped with challenges I have faced many times when sewing garments. You are so concise and clear with each step. Thank you for all you do!

Best Friday for ages, so glad to see you back. Made my first shirt following your videos now the sky's the limit!

[@TockCustom]

Awesome! There are few feelings better than creating and wearing your own clothes (especially pants). Hope you make something amazing :D

[@robertsherman9975]

I just happened to come across your channel. Great tutorial ! Very clear instructions as well as in-depth. Have made my own clothing for 30 + years. I have a tip that saves some time and adds structure, with a professional appearance. When preparing the belt loops. Press the fabric in half, then fold the edges towards the center, leaving an eighth in from the center. . You should have just a bit over a quarter of an inch. I use a double needle too topstitch the entire length a one go. I then mark on the the waste band where the belt loops are placed.When I join the front and back, I placed the loops and sew them into the waste band. After top stitching the band. I tack the belt loops at the top. I don’t trim any of the waste band seam allowance, as it provides structure and helps with the band not stretching over time. Thank you for the time and effort placed into creating a great tutorial. Looking forward to see what you have in the future ! Best regards.

[@terry68jenner]

Yes im still watching to the end. Glad to see you back and well. Great video thanks

Hai, you really are a good sewing instructor, it is very clear how you show how to do it. I used to sew a lot, 30 years ago, and now I'm picking up my old hobby again. And definitely make some jeans. Thans you, greetings from Holland, Amsterdam

[@DarthPotatoes]

I've never sewed with a machine before, but just watched this entire video and can't wait to make my own pair of pants lol. Seriously though, I'm about to get my first machine and I love your videos, they're the most in depth and well explained.

So glad to see you back! I’ve been sewing (on and off) for 45+ years and I love your videos…I have recently started quilting and make a lot of domestic items but shall tackle more garment sewing projects soon. Can you make a video on making pattern adjustments for perfect fitting pants? Thank you for your awesome videos!

[@TockCustom]

I will certainly add this to my list. I may have to do one for men's pants (which is easy), and women's (which is impossible). But I think I can handle it :) Enjoy all your new projects!!

Thank you so much. You are truly the best teacher. Wish you were in the area. I have learned so much from you.

[@StrahaoftheRace]

Instead of using a published pattern I was thinking of disassembling an old pair of jeans (that fit me well) and using those pieces as a template. Is this a good way to do things? I have never made clothing before but I know what to do.

[@TockCustom]

You can totally do that. Just seam rip your old pair apart (don't cut them), and then iron out all the panels. All the steps will be the same :)

[@StrahaoftheRace]

@@TockCustom I find the crotch goes first in my jeans - one day I find out there is a hole and wonder how long it was there for......so I might look at reinforcing that area. When I get more experienced I will look into lining them with material they use for long johns - as jeans are not warm.
