Step 2 – Cut it up!

When cutting your denim you need to make sure that you know the cuttable width of the fabric before you get your markers made so get out your measuring tape.  Cuttable width refers to the width of your fabric.  In the case of selvage denim you’re looking at anywhere between 29″ – 33″ this denim happens to 32.75″ wide if you care to know.

Cutting out the patterns may seem like an easy task but don’t be fooled.  It takes time and skill.  If your fabric isn’t cut correctly that will have a direct effect on the fit and overall look of the jeans.
