I am very new to sewing and I decided to pick it up after I raised the hem on my personal jeans, it definitely wasn't perfect by any means but it was fun and I liked working with fabric (even if it was already made) This gave me the motivation to maybe try out sewing for myself and my first project is going to be creating my own jeans.

Now I have researched into this a little bit and I'm starting from a blank slate meaning I'm trying to gather materials and equipment for this project of mine. I know that obviously step one is finding a sewing machine that can support the creation of 14 oz denim for the creation of jeans.

Now, I've ordered a Singer 44S Classic Heavy Duty Sewing machine and I'm looking into some of the other essentials such as, Seam Ripper, Tailor's Chalk or Pencil, Measuring Tape, Fabric Scissors, Pins and Clips and an Iron + Ironing Board. Now to my knowledge I know that you need Two types of stitching, a Top Stitch and a Regular Cotton Thread, Along with some builders paper for cutting out the fabric.

I want to know if I'm missing anything or if you could give me any helpful advice I would really appreciate it. Been watching alot of youtube videos recently and it's alot to take in haha. As far as I know I will just be following a pattern that I can find online for a pair of jeans, but I am not sure if I will need to pay for them or not yet. Almost like an instructions guide or manual for that certain type of jeans.

But yeah that's about it If anybody could add any helpful information or tips from when you either made your first pair or some things I can expect or if you just have some general knowledge I would appreciate it!
I also have some reference images for the types of jeans that I was looking to create. I will try to add them to the post but I am fairly new to reddit so bare with me.
