Description
Learn to fit and sew jeans using the right size pattern for your body and fabric. Learn to sew any jeans style.
Your instructor, Helen Bartley, pant fitting expert and author of Fit and Sew Custom Jeans, will guide you through five days of fitting and sewing your best jeans.
Learn how to achieve the look and fit you want. The workshop includes the Palmer/Pletsch jeans pattern, which we have sewn in every size for you to try on, but you may sew any jeans pattern printed on tissue. You will learn how to choose the best pattern size based on your fit needs and your fabric.
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.
Tissue fit. Fabric fit. Sew your jeans!
You will learn how to alter your pattern and to fit as you sew. Helen will demonstrate sewing all the jeans pockets, traditional jeans fly zipper, threads and techniques for topstitching, waistbands, belt carriers, button, buttonholes, and rivets.

This class is held at Sew-Op + Maker Space in Vancouver, WA, across the Columbia River from Portland, OR.
For Portlanders who don’t often cross the river, it’s easy. Traveling north on I-5, take Mill Plain exit toward Port of Vancouver, stay in the left lane. (The far left lane is not Mill Plain.) Turn left at light and move to the right lane. You are now on 15th Street. Turn right on Broadway. Sew-Op is in the green building on right—the first building you come to.
There is 2-hour free street parking in front of Sew-Op and extended parking four blocks east. For closer parking download the convenient Parking Kitty app. Use this City of Vancouver Parking Map to find more parking locations.
