Closet Core Patterns - PDF Sewing Pattern - Jude Flare Jeans Pattern

Create your own pair of handmade jeans with the Closet Core Patterns Jude Flare Jeans PDF Sewing Pattern. Designed for stretch denim, Jude combines classic jeans-making techniques with two timeless leg shapes: a wearable bootcut jean and a statement flare leg inspired by vintage 1970s style.

The Jude Jeans pattern features a close-fitting silhouette through the waist, hips and upper thigh, before widening from the knee into either a bootcut or full flare leg. Both views include essential jeans details including a contour waistband, belt loops, fly front zipper, back yoke and a 5-pocket construction.

View A is a classic mid-rise bootcut jean with traditional front and back pockets, while View B features an ultra high-rise waist, front patch pockets and a wide flare leg with a faced hem for a more dramatic finish.

Perfect for sewists looking to learn how to make jeans at home, this advanced PDF sewing pattern includes layered files for easy printing and a detailed guide to help you create a pair of handmade jeans with a professional finish. Choose your favourite stretch denim and customise your jeans with topstitching, hardware and your own fabric choices.
