Tips for Sewing Denim 2019

Sewing Denim 

Denim is one of the most popular fabrics and this fabric is very synonymous with jeans. It takes a little trick to make this fabric more professional and its tidiness more clear.

The term "jeans" currently usually refers to the style of certain pants, called Blue Jeans. The contemporary use of the word "jeans" actually comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy (Gênes) because sailors from this city are known to wear these cotton pants. Jeans are also often referred to as dungaree which means coarse cloth and is one of the few Hindi words.

Characteristics of denim

The characteristics of Denim fabric are very strong and durable. Anyone who has jeans must have known the character of this fabric.
The longer the more soft is one of the characteristics of this fabric. But in washing, we have to separate with other fabric. This is so that other fabrics do not mix with the characteristics of the color of the denim fabric.

Denim is also one of the most durable fabrics on the market.
If you need to adjust your denim or tear, you must arm yourself with high-quality threads and very sharp and strong needles. Ordinary threads and needles will not work with this strong cloth.

If you sew your own jeans from a memo, make sure you have the right tools for the job:
1. Use strong needles so that they don't break easily, whether they are made specifically for sewing denim such as the Schmetz Denim Needle, or universal needles that are at least 90/14. If denim is very thick, make it 100/16. These needles will have reinforced blades to minimize needle deflection and reduce the risk of broken needles or stitches being passed.
3. Use heavy-duty Jeans Thread, especially for topstitching associated with flat logging or if you can't find this, you can also try to stretch upholstery.
3. Use a sharp tool. This includes both using sharp professional sewing scissors and sharp rotary cutters.
