Brilliant book for anyone attempting to make their own jeans. It virtually holds your hand through all processes involved. I doubt I will buy another pair of jeans in the future.

This book is a gem in every way. Thorough exploration of all aspects of making jeans (including the hardware finishings, deep dive into denim fabrics, topstitching, needles, and so on). One of the joys of Johanna Lundström books is their graphic clarity and logical placement of topics.
