“The purpose of this project was to learn the construction and fitting techniques that are involved in the construction of jeans. I also gained experience with different types of stitching, seam finishes, working with denim, and adding buttons and rivets to a garment. I used a lockstitch and overlock sewing machine to construct the jeans. I was making the jeans to fit myself so throughout the process I would try on the jeans and adjust as necessary to improve the fit.”
