Sorry, no jeans pattern. Some things are just easier to purchase — but I understand you want white ones. An option you might consider is purchase a pair of 1/6 jeans and either tear them apart to reverse engineer your own pattern (I did that with a pleated mini-skirt), or see if you can’t bleach the crap out of them to make them white.

I’d definitely recommend checking out My Froggy Stuff on Youtube - she makes clothes mainly for Barbies, and now some Integrity dolls, but her tutorials usually include how to make patterns for the doll as part of the process and they’re very easy to follow.

I’ve accumulated lots of tutorials and patterns over the years from various sources - most are for Barbies and the like, but can be altered to suit different brands!

I’m still relatively new to sewing in general but I’d like to make up some decent patterns for 1/6th scale fics eventually to share with everyone, though I don’t have many figs to work from. XD

I have tried to follow guides for making the patterns but im just no good at it lol have tried many a time in the past and never turned out well. plus wanting them to look as real as possable oh its a problem. I will take a look though

Ive tried bleaching things in the past but things have never tured a proper white for me more of a creamy yellow and dont facy pullying a pair of the 1/6 jeans apart there expensive enough on there own well the decent ones are anyways lol If anyone has any ideas how I could bleach a pair to pure white please let me know?

Although i still need the pattern so i can then modify a 2nd pattern to turn them into black lace up side trousers for my dark Angel so a bit stuck either way at mo.

Glad you chimed in, Lynkhart -- you definitely have accumulated some great resources.

And stevieboy -- Instead of bleaching, you could perhaps start with a pale pair of 1/6 jeans and try painting them? You'd probably want to experiment a bit first to see if you can get the right colour/consistency of the paint prior to doing so, though. 

I use fabric medium mixed with acrylic model paints to paint, weather, or 'dye' fabrics for 1/6 projects, though I always experiment first wherever possible because it can be easy to end up with stiff fabric if you aren't careful. 

If you have images of your characters in the outfits you want to create, it would perhaps make it easier for us to help you either source the clothing or figure out what material you need, etc. : )

a little update...well after god knows how many atempts at trying to draw up a patter for the jeans i think i finaly have drawn up a workable pattern dont know if it will work but will soon find out lol. I have orderd a new sewing machine and orderd some fabrics (hoping they will be thin enough) orderd the little tiny gold studs etc too so when it all arrives i can give it a go and see if i can make it work. Fingers crossed. If it works then I can go about making an alterd pattern to hopfully make the lace up side black leather pants for the Dark angel idea. well here is hoping lol also got a pair of army type trousers for my first project and came with a vest top that i can get a pattern from too so that will be a big help. I just hate waiting for stuff to come in the post though im not very good with patience But if the pattern works I will glady share it with anyone that may be interested

Best wishes
Steve
