Ginger Jeans Pattern
With a modern cut, Ginger Jeans are the daily staple you’ll reach for again and again. With a low and high rise and two different leg shapes, make yourself a wardrobe of beautiful me-made jeans!
View A features a comfortable low rise with narrow stovepipe legs and a traditional fold-over front pocket. View B is high-waisted with skinny legs and a pocket stay sewn into the center front. Ginger Jeans feature subtly shaped back pockets to highlight the curve of the bum and a higher back rise to prevent peekabooty.

Patron utilisé pour realiser mon 1er jeans et il est terminé et portable donc je recommande ce patron à tout le monde. Un petit bemol pour ajuster exactement la fourche sur moi, je n'ai pas trouvé les explications...
I used the Closet Core video series to help me make my Ginger Jeans. The video tutorials are SUPERB! Very clear instructions, great filming so I could see every step. I loved every minute of making these jeans and learning how to get that great fit. Recommendations galore! great job Close Core Patterns!
I made the straight leg jeans. They are fantastic and fit beautifully. I think the detailed instructions made all the difference.
I bought this pattern, because I loved the general shape with a high-waist, and knew I could use them as a starting point for the wide leg, cropped jeans in fashion right now. It took some trial and error, but I am so happy I dove in! The pattern is very easy adjust and the instructions easy to follow. I will definitely be making more with varying leg shapes.
I found this pattern very easy to work with and I really enjoyed making the jeans. I will definitely make more from closet core!
