How can you tell what weight your denim is when you are buying online? And how do you get the right weight to match the pattern or style of jeans you want to make? In this video, we show you all the different weights of denim to help you decide!
Coming soon in the series, we'll cover what jeans patterns are available for the home sewer, how they react when washed at home, what denim weight means and the difference in costs for denims.
Once we run through all of this information we are going to pick a couple of patterns and fabric each and make our own jeans. Follow us along the way on KZfaq and over on Instagram.
All the fabrics we talk about have been sent to us by Minerva.com (tidd.ly/3GiybwQ), they have an excellent choice of denims at www.minerva.com. (Some links are affiliate links used are affiliate links.)

Thank you, this was so informative. I was thinking about buying jean fabric for elastic waist pants and couldn't figure out which weight to get. This will help a lot.

Very helpful, currently hunting for work clothes but since I'm an odd size finding denim workwear I like and that has the functionality I need is challenging. I like mine heavier but all I can find online is what appears to be thin fasion wear. Finding cargo jeans in my size has proven to be impossible. Thanks for explaining the weights of the fabric. It was really hard to understand where dress shirts ended and work clothes began. Now I know.

So appreciated! Can we basically transfer these equivalent to canvas fabrics?

That was fab! I would LOVE to see more about weight of fabrics, specifically of linens and cottons. Could you also do a video about thread weights? You might of opened a Pandora’s box! 😊💚

Love your videos, but I'd like to clarify something in this one. You've referred to chambray as a lightweight denim. Chambrays are a plain weave, while all denims are a twill weave. There ARE very lightweight denims (twill), but chambrays aren't one of them.
