Customer Reviews
This pattern is very well explained and detailed. I already did my first jeans and they are really nice and super confortable!! (and I received a lot of compliments too!!)
I have made....at least 5 pairs of Dawn Jeans. This is a definitely TNT pattern. I bought it twice because the first time I bought it in paper and cut it out. I'm now a bigger size so I bought the PDF version this round. I don't mind paying twice to support the designer for something that I get so much use out of.
Next up I made these jeans in the straight leg, zipper fly version. So, so happy with these and will definitely make them again. Shortened waist 1.5cm and leg 5cm. I have KATM rivets but unable to source the setter at the moment.
I really enjoyed sewing this pattern. I made two pairs of shorts and they both turned out really well. I did zipper fly with a different installation because I prefer that. I definitely recommend this pattern.
I bought the Dawn jeans pattern to make some shorts and later a pair of jeans. My thinking was the $5 remnant of denim would make a great pair of summer shorts as well as being a wearable toile for the jeans. I shortened the waist by 1.5cm due to my 163cm height otherwise a straight size 12. The fly construction was different to anything I’ve done before and it turned out very nice. Next time I would probably lengthen the leg by 2-4cm as a personal choice due to age. ☺️
I never thought I’d even consider having 2 sewing machines but after changing from regular to topstitch thread many times I’m thinking it’s be a great idea. 😅
I’m looking forward to making the jeans next with some denim from The Fabric Store.
I cut these out from the provided A0 pdf file using my Epson projector. Thank you for supporting the projector sewing community.
