Tissue Fit your Jeans to Perfect Fit!
Jeans for Real People: A Peek Inside the Video
Learn the latest way to tissue-fit your jeans pattern: first tissue-fit like any pant, then give it the “jeans fit” in fabric—all before you do any sewing.
See jeans in many fabrics (Marta’s favorite: all-bias jeans!) and learn about fabric selection and preshrinking, notions needed, and topstitching threads.
Watch Marta sew a pair of jeans from start to finish, including jeans details and how they go together, plus seam options–flat-felled or mock flat-felled. Whether your figure type is full, petite, or curvy, you’ll see how to fit YOUR body.
