This is a pattern that we would advise making a toile first, firstly to adjust the fit if needed but secondly to familiarise with the pattern instructions. We have not used a traditional run and fell jeans seam, we have chosen instead to topstitch the seam, which is easier to achieve on a domestic machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level: Experienced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use.

Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight denim into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the denim, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash your denim on its own for the first wash. You don’t need to use detergent if you don’t want to.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet the fabric first before putting it into the drum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you can break up your denim fabric into half this will help. Or if you have your pattern already you may be able to break it into smaller parts by looking at the lay plan – leave some wiggle room!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34669377683618,"sku":"735862","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0325\/6565\/7733\/products\/the-clementine-merchant-mills-17375848104098.jpg?v=1618514303","url":"https:\/\/fiddleheadartisansupply.sbs\/products\/the-clementine-merchant-mills","provider":"Fiddlehead Artisan Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
