Making Jeans, All About Denim Weights

How can you tell what weight your denim is when you are buying online? And how do you get the right weight to match the pattern or style of jeans you want to make? In this video, we show you all the different weights of denim to help you decide!
Coming soon in the series, we'll cover what jeans patterns are available for the home sewer, how they react when washed at home, what denim weight means and the difference in costs for denims.
Once we run through all of this information we are going to pick a couple of patterns and fabric each and make our own jeans. Follow us along the way on KZbin and over on Instagram.
All the fabrics we talk about have been sent to us by Minerva.com (tidd.ly/3GiybwQ), they have an excellent choice of denims at www.minerva.com. (Some links are affiliate links used are affiliate links.)
