Description
This class will help you master fitting and sewing any pair of jeans.
Your one stop pattern for jeans just may be Pamela’s Patterns All Things Jeans—a pattern to span different styles and silhouettes so that you can use it for years and styles to come. You can use any pattern you wish, but if you choose to use the All Things Jeans pattern, you will have the opportunity to try on sample jeans to quickly determine your best size and style.
Pamela has teamed up with Palmer/Pletsch Tissue-Fitting Method and Helen Bartley’s book Fit and Sew Custom Jeans to provide you with a complete fitting and sewing jeans experience.
Think about what you want for your jeans:
- Do you like a fitted jean or a looser style?
- How do you like your leg width and length?
- How about a choice of rise – low rise, high, or somewhere in between?
See jeans in many fabrics and styles, bootcut to boyfriend to skinny, and learn about fabric selection, preshrinking and notions needed. Whether your figure type is full, petite, or curvy, we will focus on fitting YOUR body.
