Private workshop: constructing jeans

For those enthousiasts who want to learn how to make their own jeans, or those looking to refine their skills. If you want to learn the ins and outs, the basics as well as the little details that make the difference, this workshop is for you!

The private workshop focusses on the construction of a pair of selvedge jeans. You will learn the technical aspects of jeans making, including style, fabrics, threads and hardware. Working from your own pattern or jeans, Paul will teach you the specifics of a pair of selvedge jeans. The workshop covers a wide range of construction techniques, with a special focus on the single-needle lockstitch method, giving you the skills to apply these techniques in your own practice.

You get to spend two half-days in the studio with Paul getting one-on-one tuition tailored to your situation and skill set. If you have any specific questions let Paul know so the workshop can be tailored to your needs.

Some prior sewing experience is recommended.
