Free Pants Patterns
If a project includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include a
pattern template, don’t despair! It likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles)
that you can easily measure and cut yourself.

Note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine. But don’t let that
discourage you! If a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a
simple zigzag machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or
adding purchased embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tip:

When stitching heavy denim fabrics, use a "denim" or "jeans" sewing machine needle. The
thicker shaft and sharper point of this needle can pierce through thick layers of denim easily
and without breaking.

To make sewing over fabric bumps (where several layers of fabric come together) easier, try
using a “Jean-a-ma-jig” or a “Hump-jumper” (your local fabric store should carry them). This
tool will keep your pressure foot level as you sew over the bump and give your feed dogs
(the little teeth that stick up beyond your needle plate) something to grip onto to help move
your fabric forward.

Sewing Quick Tip:

A Tip for
Preshrinking Fabric:

Zigzag or serge the
raw edges of your
yardage before
tossing it into your
washing machine.
This will keep the
edges from fraying
(and becoming a
tangled mess)
during the
laundering process.
Sewing Quick Tip:

Sewing machine
needles can
become dull with
use (if you hear a
thumping noise
when sewing, your
needle is probably
dull). Therefore,
change your
needle with every
new sewing
project or after
about eight hours
of continuous
sewing.
