Question

How long should it take for someone that knows what they are doing to make a pair of jeans?

Answer 1

Welllllll, I remember learning how to sew. I backed the machine off in a corner where it couldn't run away, got out a pattern and some material and cut out a blouse that had a collar and sleeves. I practiced putting the collar and sleeves in until they went in straight and didn't pucker. That took quite a number of sewing in and ripping out times. So I would suspect that you could probably learn to make a pair of jeans that didn't look wierd in a couple of months of steady practice. Remember you have to learn how to make flatfelt seams before you even think of making jeans, AND you need to learn how to put in a placket and a zipper before you try jeans....I would strongly suggest that you take a sewing class and learn the basics; let the teacher know what you are aiming for. Good luck with your project.

Answer 2

Thanks soo much for some insight but I'm not doing it myself, I wanted someone with experience and knowledge of all those things. Like if they knew what they were doing, they could make 2 pair a day working about 4 or 5 hours?

Answer 3

If the jeans are already cut out, and if the stitcher knows how to make jeans, then they should be able to make two pair in 5 hours. Remember jeans are pretty sophisticated. You have a placket, belt and beltloops, pockets and flatfelt seams... pretty fancy sewing, not for a beginning seamstress.
