Merchant & Mills The Heroine Jean Pattern

The Heroine jeans are fitted to the waist with a straight, generous leg and a healthy turn up.

Skill level: Experienced but achievable if you take it step by step!

This is a pattern that we would advise making a toile first, firstly to adjust the fit if needed but secondly to familiarize with the pattern instructions. We have not used a traditional run and fell jeans seam, we have chosen instead to topstitch the seam, which is easier to achieve on a domestic machine. We have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use. You may find that you get a better stitch using a matching standard ‘sew all’ thread in the bobbin.

This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 6 – 18. 1.5cm seam allowance is included in the pattern unless otherwise stated.

We recommend using 8 – 12.5oz non stretch denim (up to 14oz with a heavy duty machine.)
