Fulford Jeans Pattern - PDF DOWNLOAD

The Fulford Jeans sewing pattern is a truly classic straight leg jean. This pair of jeans features a regular fit in the thigh and straight legs. They feature a conservatively high rise reminiscent of vintage work jeans that sits just below the waist. Sew these jeans in a rugged denim and expect to wear this hard wearing pair for years to come.

This jeans pattern features all of the traditional details required when sewing denim - add lots of strengthening topstitching, learn to sew flatfell inseams, construct a zipper fly, and apply rivets to high stress areas. As an added bonus, the waistband is drafted in two pieces with a center back seam hidden under the belt loop. This construction style allows for very easy fit modifications, even once the jeans are fully constructed. This is a perfect solution for the home sewist who might like to sew these as a surprise gift or for the wearer with a fluctuating waistline.

This pattern, as part of the Alpine Outdoors Collection, is a hard-wearing design with a classic fit. Create a hand-made wardrobe of these designs so as to always be comfortably and stylishly ready for the next adventure!

Recommended Fabric 

Denim (9-16 oz) or bottom-weight fabrics such as twill or corduroy. Fabrics with no stretch or up to 2% elastane (spandex) are suitable. A higher elastane content will change the fit and it might be necessary to size down. Ensure that your sewing machine can handle the denim weight you choose by sewing through 5 layers of fabric.

Pocket Lining: Pocketing, broadcloth, or other strong cottons or cotton blends. This is a great opportunity to use novelty printed cottons, as it will only be visible from the inside of the jeans!

Interfacing (for fly extension, zipper shield, and waistband pieces): Medium weight fusible interfacing.
