My woodshop pants

[mirock]

Hi friends!

Today I start my small a bit irregular project and made my new garage pants of usual jeans and leather. Regular, ordinary pants destroys very quickly and I tried to strengthen it by leather…

I invite you to watch and critiize my video of the process:

I'd be grateful for your opinion!

PS. By the way, Festool also present in the video).

Great project! I wear Bjornklader pants with built in knee pads often, just for the pockets, but making something yourself is always way cooler  [big grin]

Nice walking foot sewing machine! I am jealous. No auto cut when you back depress the foot pedal though? My industrial Brother sewing machine has the cut feature, but I really wish it was a walking foot. I can feed clothing and jeans thru with no issue, but if I get 4 layers of heavy Sunbrella fabric it starts having a hard time feeding, and that is where your sewing machine takes over. The knee foot lift sure is nice though.

Although it appears everything worked out well, I was kinda surprised when you cut the jeans apart instead of seam ripping them? See here for what a seam ripper is, although you probably have one.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_ripper Did you start with a size too large? I will agree the way you did it is probably far faster. How come you didn't roll the edges of the leather under before sewing? A double row pass would probably be worthy too.

You get style points for putting the half zippers on  [cool]

It is quite simple chinese copy of Siruba sewing machine but it works well. When I worked upholstery designer I had had Durkopp and all what you say and even more on that machine.

Yes I had such device for dividing but long ago and lost it somewhere. This time I sat to sew unprepared.
