That would save me a ton of money as those glitzed up jeans are very expensive!
Welcome back Julie. Let us know when you get to try out your machine!

I have made my own jeans, which is a huge endeavor. There is a learning curve with making jeans, patterns and fabrics that work together. First couple of pair of jeans I made became my jeans for yard work.
I wouldn't take the leg of a bought jean apart like you have done. That just seems like too much work. Luckly, all these vintage machines can tackle sewing through layers of denim without any troubles. So, sewing seams and hems are a breeze!
