Julia Jeans - Resource Page

With Just Patterns, I believe in empowering dressmakers to improve their skills with each project. If you need help with a particular step or want to explore new ways to do things, I've curated a compilation of resources that may be useful when constructing your garment.

To buy the Julia Jeans, please visit my shop. If you are stuck on certain parts or would like to suggest other useful tutorials, don't hesitate to get in touch!

ERRATA

1. If you purchased your pattern before May 29, 2025, there is an error in the yoke of the 46-60 size range. Updated files have been sent to all customers, if you have not received the new email, please contact me. You can also download only the updated yoke (print at home on two pages).
