The Dawns jeans are the ultimate in high-rise, vintage style. This versatile design, made with non-stretch denim sits at the natural waist line and is fitted through the waist and hips with 3 different styles of fly!
Choose between a zip fly, exposed button fly or regular button fly. The next customisable feature of this pattern is the cut of the leg. Opt for a straight style, tapered, which gives more of a skinny jean feel or cute summery shorts.
The pattern does also include a (very) wide leg option - just note that this option requires more fabric than what we have included in the kit - see kit contents section for more details. If you would like to make the wide leg option you will need to purchase additional fabric.
Finally customise the length of your jeans with a cropped, regular or tall length!
We have sourced the most amazing selvedge denim for this project direct from the Cone Mills Factory. Their denim is renowned for it's superior quality!
This is a 10oz 100% cotton denim and it comes in a raw form. This means it will naturally fade and develop character and wear in over time. For this reason some photographs have been included in the gallery of a pair of jeans, using this exact denim, that have been worn in through frequent wearing and washing over a 2 month period.
In the top tips videos that come with this kit, Lauren will also show you how you can optionally distress your denim with Rit colour remover or bleach to achieve a lighter shade of denim. The mid shade of blue in the photographs above has been achieved by bleaching the denim.
You can see how the lighter shade appears in comparison to the original raw denim and the washed and worn denim in this picture.
