Description
Helen Elizabeth Bartley's Fit and Sew Custom Jeans offers a unique approach to creating tailored jeans. By addressing fit simultaneously with construction, this book helps you avoid the frustration of poor fit and unnecessary topstitching repairs. The author uses a combination of tissue-fitting and fabric fitting techniques, allowing for more accurate adjustments in the pattern stage. This means choosing the right size based on your fabric type and considering how fitted you want your jeans to be for their intended wear. By following these methods, you can create a pair of jeans that fits perfectly from the start. Helen's approach is informed by her own experience sewing 31 pairs of jeans for herself and others, testing various techniques to find the best solutions for fit.
