I used a template based on the arches of a 1947 LVC.  I made it with a stitcher and a lot of patience, and then I removed the paper.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
 
 
Regards.


Those look great!

Did you make the template yourself? Can you post it?

I think i'm going to give it a try.

You didn't have to take the back pockets off and just used  a speedy stitch awl?

Thanks!

I would assume if the temp is paper he would have torn it away once the stitch work is done.
If you get an image of the arcs you want re-size it to measure the same width as your pockets and print it off.. that's your paper template, or i might be missing something.

They'll look even better with some wear.

If anyone can perfect a service (incognito like) where either pockets of new jeans are unpicked, arc (machine) stiched and reattached or worn jeans done in situ a la Lordjon, folks would pay good money for it.

Sorry, when the template is removed, the paper breaks, so I don't have anything.
But it is easy to do, with an almost transparent paper, or not very thick, you can trace it on top of a pocket that has the arches that you want to recreate.
 
To make the holes at the same distance, I used a sewing machine over the arcs of the paper to punch it. I think the stitch length I chose was 3 (in millimeters), the same as the 1947 LVC.
 
I used a speedy awl and I didn't remove the back pockets, so in this way the work becomes more difficult.

You're right, the template is made of paper, so it only works for once.
 
As I said, I don't think I'll do it again, at least not now, not in the next few months, it's many hours, and nobody in their right mind would pay you all that effort for two arcs.
 
The best option is to remove the pockets and do it with a sewing machine, but that is for professionals and artists like Yoshiaki Konaka and some other...

Lordjon, I'm wondering why you chose the speedy awl rather than conventional needle & thread?

I chose the Speedy Awl because you always sew in one direction, and the result is almost the same as with a sewing machine, however with a conventional needle you have to sew in front and behind, and when you do it behind the pocket the stitches are uneven.

Thanks for explaining, Lordjon. I may have to buy one of those things...

Thank you! This cleared up most of my questions. I guess the threads show on the inside by the sides of the pockets? still sounds easier than taking the back pockets off and getting them to match putting them back on.

They look really great. hopefully you won't have to stitch any more arcs for a couple of years!
