About the Author: Danielle Malki
My quest to design my own jeans started back in 2007 when I (like many people) simply got fed up with trying to find jeans that fit my body and my tastes. I searched the web for hours attempting to find a guide or some instructions on how to sew my own jeans. Now keep in mind I didn't want to know how to sew jeans that looked like I sewed them--I wanted to learn how to sew jeans that matched or rivaled the quality of the ones in stores.
I was extremely displeased at the instructional guides out there so I stared buying used jeans and ripping them apart to see exactly how the manufactures fit them together and how they are designed. I then spent several years learning how to mimic those results using nothing but a standard sewing machine and serger and some basic sewing tools.
After I created this guide I went on sewing jeans for others who had special needs that the retail stores just don't meet.
My life's been pretty busy lately and it's been a while since I've sewn a pair of jeans, but when I make my next pair I'm hoping to update this guide with some better images and instructional videos.
