You’ll discover all the good
things about Bartlett pears when

creativity. Here are a few

denim fabrics available by the
yard, as well as the variety of
patterns, makes jean-making
fairly easy.
Fabric stores have a large
selection of denims for jeans that
include stripes, prints, solids and
tie-dyed colors. There also is a
wide variety in the un-denims -
the fabrics printed to look like
denim - and available in heavy to
lightweight fabrics.
Many sutitable fabrics are of
cotton and polyester blends and
have finishes that make the
garments easy care. Some also
have a “comfort stretch” weave
that allows the fabric to expand
as you bend, stretch and sit.
Patterns are available for fly
front or button-front ieans. There
are hip-hugger jean patterns and
those that give straight-legged or
flared lines. The biggest
challenge in sewing jeans is
making a front fly opening. This
isn’t too difficult if you follow
pattern directions step-by-step.
A pattern with a buttoned fly
might be easier. Or it’s possible
to use a regular pants patern with
side or back zipper and create a
jeans effect by adding pockets,
top-stitching or belt carriers.
You usually need four to six
belt carriers. These can be made
any width, beginning from about
one-quarter inch for narrow ones,
up to two inches or more for
wider ones. Cut each carrier long
enough to fit easily over the belt
and waistband with one inch
allowed for seams.
Because denim is a heavier
fabric, it’s best to use a heavy
duty thread of cotton or cotton
covered polyester. A size 16
machine needle and a longer
stitch length -10 to 12 per inch -
will give better results. Heavier
fabrics usually require a heavier
machine pressure. '

Give jeans a personal touch by
trying top-stitching in a con
trasting color. For this type
stitching-use a heavy thread -
size 30 to 40; a size IS machine
needle; and a longer stitch -
about 6 to 8 per inch. To keep the
top-stitching straight, baste the
layers of fabric together to
prevent them from slipping while
you stitch. Mark the stitching line
with basting and use this as a
guide as you stitch. Or use a seam
guide or a quilter attachment to
insure an even width. Stitch
slowly and accurately. If your
top-stitching ends at a finished
edge, such as the top of a pocket,
cut Hie threads long enough to
pull the top thread and tie on the
underside.
You can achieve other special
touches by making belt loops and
