Lauren's Ash Jeans in Cone Mill Indigo 10.75oz Stretch Cotton Denim
I made this version of the Megan Nielsen Ash Jeans using our Cone Mills Stretch Denim. Making your own jeans is such a satisfying project, and I love that the Ash pattern has all those classic jeans details while giving you four different leg shapes to choose from.
If you'd like to make your own, you'll find your shopping list below. I've also included my Ash Jeans Top Tips videos to use alongside the pattern instructions, with lots of extra help on fitting, topstitching, sewing the zip fly and adding all that lovely jeans hardware.
Lauren's Notes:
• Fabric choice: This Cone Mills stretch denim has just the right amount of stretch and recovery, so the jeans feel comfortable to wear while keeping their shape beautifully.
• Styling tip: A handmade pair of jeans is such a wardrobe workhorse! I wear mine with everything from simple T-shirts and shirts to blouses and cosy knits.
• Difficulty level: A really satisfying intermediate project with lots of classic jeans-making techniques. My Top Tips videos are there to guide you through the trickier stages too.
