New Pattern: Eddystone Jeans
While I love Itch to Stitch’s stretch jeans patterns, I understand that one style doesn’t fit all. With encouragement from a few Itch to Stitch fans, I decided to make a jeans pattern that uses non-stretch denim as well as bottomweight fabric with just a slight hint of stretch. That should really expand the selection of fabric to those of you who can’t find very stretchy denim.

Please welcome the Eddystone Jeans. The Eddystone has a high rise that is not only in fashion, but also is ultra-comfortable. You never have to worry about wardrobe malfunction of the plumber variety.

Here are some highlights of the Eddystone Jeans pattern:
- High rise
- Ankle length
- Options for girlfriend fit and demi boot fit
- Classic five-pocket design
- Pocket stay to keep pockets in place and trim the tummy
- Designed for bottomweight fabric with a slight stretch (non-stretch is also OK; follow instructions to find the right size)

Girlfriend fit?
So, what is “girlfriend” fit? Girlfriend fit actually derived from the popular boyfriend cut that is loose-fitting and baggy. To make it more feminine, designers came up with a girlfriend fit that has a closer fit (so it’s now semi-relaxed—not baggy and not tight). The girlfriend fit also tapers in the legs.
Demi boot fit?
The demi boot fit is the same as the girlfriend fit from the knees up, but it flares slightly below the knees. They are not just great for wearing with boots, they also look nice even with flats and heels.
As mentioned, any bottomweight fabric with no stretch or just a touch of stretch would work well. Although classic jeans use rivets, if you look at store-bought jeans nowadays, not all of them have rivets. Instead, they use bar tack (narrow zigzag stitches). So it’s completely up to you whether you want to use rivets.
A few of my testers are first-time jeans makers. They are proud of their beautiful results! I think jeans making has a bad rep of being difficult, but it can’t be further from the truth. Jeans making is very satisfying. Once you make a pair, you will keep returning to the same pattern to make more.

Does the Eddystone Jeans pattern come in Tall size?
You describe these jeans as “high rise.” Our definition of that may not be the same. I prefer pants and skirts to sit just above my natural waist. I can’t tell where the waist is on the models (shirts covering up). So where is the waist? Thanks.

It’s sitting at the natural waist.
Excellant job ladies! I’m impressed for your first time! Can’t wait to see more.
It would’ve been nice to know which pattern style each on followed? Maybe just enter text on bottom of pic? Just a thought, because sometimes it’s hard to tell.
This appears to be a great pattern! Looking forward to trying it myself!
I was thinking the same! I’m definitely intrigued as I am tall and making clothes would be so much better for my body shape and height.
Where do you find your jeans hardware? It looks like there is a little piece of metal at the bottom stitching on yours side hip on the Mountains View pair (or perhaps it is more stitching). Can you share where you get hardware supplies please? Thank you!

On the Mountain View, I didn’t use any hardware (those are just bar tacks). But you can buy jeans rivets from Wawak (https://www.wawak.com/Garment-Construction/Eyelets-Grommets/double-cap-rivets-8mm-x-6mm-24-setspack/?sku=SRK31AB) and Taylor Tailor (https://www.taylortailor.com/product-category/sewing-supplies/) among many places. 🙂
