What This Is

Keystone Denims is a modular selvedge denim sewing pattern designed to teach how a pair of jeans is actually constructed — while giving you complete freedom to design your own version.

Rather than locking you into a single look, Keystone functions as a foundation system.

A base garment you can build, adapt, and personalise through interchangeable components, heritage construction methods, and intentional documentation.

 

This early access version includes everything that will be available on public release — you’re simply getting it first.

 


 

Two Silhouettes Included

 

Keystone Denims includes two full pattern variations, delivered as separate PDFs:

  • A wider, baggier cut with a lower rise

  • A clean, sculpted straight-leg version

 

Both silhouettes are included automatically — you don’t need to choose.

Both are fully graded across 11 sizes, from 24” to 44” waist.

 


 

A Foundation for Understanding Denim

 

At its core, Keystone is built around real denim logic:

  • Selvedge-friendly outseam construction

  • Flat-felled seams

  • Durable topstitching

  • Structured waistbands

  • Hardware-led reinforcement

 

This pattern is not about copying an existing pair of jeans.

It’s about understanding why jeans are built the way they are.

 


 

A Fully Modular System

Every major element of the Keystone Denims is modular, allowing you to mix and match based on skill level, design intent, or experimentation:

  • Two front pocket options (classic or button-closure)

  • Three interchangeable back pocket designs

  • Button fly or zip fly construction

  • Optional one-piece zip fly (advanced technique)

  • Two buckle configurations

  • Two double-knee styles (classic or Roughcut curved)

  • Optional heel-drag reinforcement

  • Optional hammer loop and utility details

  • Waistband curve features

 

Each decision changes the final garment — meaning no two pairs need to look the same.

 



Designed Before You Sew


Keystone goes beyond pattern pieces.

Before cutting fabric, you’re guided through planning and visualisation:

  • A 2D front & back visualisation page for sketching your design

  • A back-pocket stitch template page for drawing custom stitch lines

    (sew directly through the paper and tear it away for clean results)

 

These pages encourage experimentation, storytelling, and intentional design — not just assembly.

 


 

The Denim Passport System

 

Every Keystone build ends with documentation.

The pattern includes a two-part Denim Passport system:

  • A branded Denim Passport card, stapled into the back pocket

  • A Maker’s Notes insert for reflecting on materials, techniques, and decisions

 

Together, they record:

  • Fabric choice and weight

  • Hardware used

  • Construction options selected

  • Build date and notes

 

Turning each pair into a documented artifact — not just a finished garment.

 


 

Skill Level & Learning Support

 

Keystone Denims is rated Skill Level 4 and is ideal for confident makers ready to deepen their understanding of garment construction.

 

To support the build, the pattern includes:

  • Clear cutting, sticking, and construction guides

  • A written construction roadmap

  • A free, full start-to-finish video tutorial walking through the entire process

 

You don’t need an industrial machine — this can be made on a domestic setup with appropriate needle and thread choices.

A complete build walkthrough is included, covering:

  • Front and back pocket construction

  • Button and zip fly options

  • Flat-felled seam techniques

  • Buckle installation

  • Waistband construction

  • Finishing and documentation

 

Perfect for visual learners tackling their first serious denim build.
