Buy jeans that are comfy for you.. & you could use bleach on them.. on the pockets you could put your initials in crystals or a pattern down the side.. if you customize them yourself, you'll be more proud when you wear them! x

Making jeans is a rather advanced sewing project unless you have a great deal of experience sewing it will probably really frustrate you. I've been sewing for over a decade but I couldn't be bothered to make a pair of jeans, they are a ridiculous amount of work and about as expensive to make as they are to buy.

To make a pair of jeans like you see in the store you'll need to make sure that you have a very good quality sewing machine. Sometimes you'll need to sew through 3 or 4 layers of thick denim and a lot of domestic machines just can't handle that.

You can look for patterns for jeans from your local fabric store and can buy denim there too. Make sure you also get extra thick thread. Look for coat thread or stuff called Coban thread; normal sewing thread isn't strong enough for denim. (Most denim you can buy in a fabric store isn't distressed the way most jeans are now which means you'll need to bleach or wear in your jeans after you've put them together.)

If you are making jeans with a zipper, you'll need a metal one not a plastic one and you'll probably need a needle for your sewing machine that is meant for thicker materials and wide enough for your thread.

Anyways, I could certainly go on, but the best idea is to go to a fabric store near you and ask them for ideas on patterns and supplies.

Yeah you have to buy demin clothe and sew it. It doesn't relly come out good actually it's stifff and the color is like relly weird!!!! Anywhere you have to get a design for the jeans (the one you want) and cut and sew. It'll look good i guess

*Ripped Jeans* Buy a pair of comfortable loose pants, or use a pair that you already have.
Prepare to cut them either while wearing them or with them off. It's easier if they are on you, but be extra careful to avoid cutting yourself.
Find the way the lines are going and rub the blade of the knife against the lines. For example, if the lines are horizontal, do it vertically (and vice versa).
When you have created a slit, take the pointy end of the knife and rub it against the edges until you see the white strings going in the opposite direction. Keep doing this until you have the desired hole size. Repeat this until you have a good number of holes in the pants.
To cut a knee hole, cut the knee in the desired location as far as you want the hole to extend, then rub the edges with the knife so that they get fuzzy and messy.
When the jeans are finished, throw them in the water with a little bit of bleach to age them a bit. Then dry them. The washing will also fray the cuts and make them look better.
Voila! You have just created your own unique ripped jeans - take that, name brands!
