In the Folds Burwood Jeans

Buy the Burwood Jeans sewing pattern from In the Folds. The Burwood Jeans are a fresh take on a timeless wardrobe staple, fusing traditional denim details with modern design lines. This versatile pattern includes both jeans and shorts variations, offering options for year-round wear.

With a zip fly front and tailored pleats, the Burwood jeans bring structure and subtle volume to a silhouette that feels both contemporary and classic. Slanted front pockets add a soft contrast to the pleats, while a shaped waistband and back yoke provide a sculpted fit through the waist and hips. Traditional elements like patch pockets and belt loops ground the design in jeans-making heritage.

View A is an ankle-length pair of jeans with a barrel leg shape. View B is a wide leg pair of shorts that finish about 6 cm (2 3/8") above the top of the knee.
