For my latest project, I decided to sew a pair of corduroy Closet Core Morgan jeans.

The Fabric

For the corduroy fabric , I purchased mine online at MelanatedFabrics. Unfortunately, they are completely sold out at this time. This is some of the nicest and drapiest corduroy I have ever used. It’s super soft and a mid-wale corduroy.

The Morgan Boyfriend Jeans

One of the reasons that I chose to use this pattern is that it is designed for non-stretch fabrics. There is no stretch in the corduroy. The fit of the jeans is more of a straight fit and not too loose or baggy.

And this isn’t the first time I’ve made them. Although the instructions only mention using denim, I think you can use any jean appropriate fabric. Because I had made this before, I didn’t have to worry about fitting.

Some Sewing Tips

For these corduroy Closet Core Morgan jeans I did take into consideration some sewing tips and techniques that made things a bit easier.

• Wash the fabric in cold water and dry on low heat.
• Gently iron the fabric. I like the iron shoe and press cloth.
• Use a walking foot. This attachment will keep the fabric from sliding.
• Use a pattern layout for napped fabrics, if possible.

Since the fabric is medium weight, a size 14 universal needle works great. I also suggest lots of pins (or clips) to keep things together.

If you are familiar with jeans making, this will be a relatively quick project for you. Beginners will probably want to make a muslin and get the fit right before cutting into the fashion fabric.

Conclusion

These jeans are soft and comfortable. Corduroy is “in” this season, so I can be stylish without even trying😂. The most difficult part was the topstitching. Because there’s a nap in the fabric, it was very hard to see. But, overall, I’m happy with the results!
