DIY Denim patchwork jumpsuit from Men's jeans - Jeans transformation idea
Welcome or welcome back to my channel. My name's Jess and I love doing DIY, making clothes in the simply but pretty way.
In today's tutorial, I'm going to share with you how I made a denim patchwork jumpsuit from 2 men's jeans. This is a great way to refashion your old jeans that you don't wear anymore. But they're still in the good conditions. And especially if you love the vintage style with the full body jumpsuit like this one.
So I hope you like it and try it out. Let’s get started!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED

2 Men's jeans in size 34
Sewing machine
Pins
Scissors
Ruler
Long stick
Zipper
Buttons
SEWING THE JUMPSUIT
Make it stand out
The first step is unsewing the seam at the crotch line and the waistband of the jeans.
Make it stand out
After that, making the waist of the jeans higher by moving down the end of the crotch line a little bit.
Make sure the width of the leg jeans at the end of the crotch line is bigger than a quarter of the hip size.

Then, drawing a new crotch line.

If the jeans used are already high-waisted, this step is not necessary.

After cutting, don't forget to overlock to protect the new cutting lines.

Now, connecting the two legs of the pants together at the crotch line, then sewing.
Make it stand out
Keep around 20 cm unsewn at the front of the crotch line for the zipper later.

Check the waist of the jeans to make sure it matches the bust size.
Make it stand out
To make the front bodice of the jumpsuit, cut two rectangles with a 23 cm width (a quarter of the bust size plus 2 cm) and a 35 cm length (the length from the upper breast to the belly button plus 5 cm).
Make it stand out
On the width line, mark at 13 cm (half of the width between two breasts plus 1 cm).
Make it stand out
On one length line, mark at 3 cm.
Make it stand out
Then connect the two marks together—this will be the armpit area of the top of the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
From the mark on the length line, make another mark at 8 cm.
Make it stand out
Then make two other marks on either side of this mark, 1 cm away from each other.
Make it stand out
From the mark on the width line, make a mark 8 cm inside.
Make it stand out
Then connect the three marks on the length line to this mark—this will be the bust dart of the top bodice.
If a larger bust size is needed, the bust dart should be bigger.
Make it stand out
After sewing, redraw the length line and cut accordingly.

And here is the front bodice of the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
To make the back bodice, cut two rectangles with the same width as the front and a 32 cm length, which is 3 cm shorter than the front.
Make it stand out
Connect the two back bodice pieces together at the waistline first.
Make it stand out
Then connect the two front bodice pieces later at the side seams.
Make it stand out
Cut two rectangles with an 8 cm width and around 24 cm length to make the shoulder straps for the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
Fold both ends of the length line inside around 1 cm first.
Make it stand out
Then fold them together and sew.
Make it stand out
At the middle of the top of the back bodice, mark at 12 cm on both sides so the width between the marks is 24 cm, which matches the width between the two breasts.
Make it stand out
Place the shoulder straps at these marks first.
Make it stand out
Then use a long rectangle with a 5 cm width to cover them before sewing.
Make it stand out
When attaching to the front bodice, place the other end of the shoulder strap at the top of the armpit area.
Make it stand out
Then sew to connect them together.
Make it stand out
After the first seam, make an understitching seam.
Make it stand out
Then, fold the other end of the long rectangle inside around 1 cm and sew.
Make it stand out
At the end of the top bodice, draw a horizontal line 4 cm above the ending line.
Make it stand out
Then, put the extra fabric of the top jumpsuit up.
Make it stand out
And make the second seam.
Make it stand out
After that, make the third seam at the end of the top jumpsuit to create a fabric tunnel at the waist for the elastic band.
Make it stand out
Cut a 20 cm length of elastic band to make the back of the jumpsuit fit better when worn.
Make it stand out
Sew both ends of the elastic band to both ends of the front waist so the front of the jumpsuit looks neater.
Make it stand out
The last step is inserting the zipper at the front of the jumpsuit.
