Fit and Sew Custom Jeans is unique in that it addresses both the order of construction and fit simultaneously. Other books gloss over the fitting, having you guess your adjustments in the flat pattern stage. By the time you try on the jeans, it may be too late to fix areas with poor fit. If you could, you'd need to rip a lot of topstitching, a real chore. Helen uses a combination of tissue-fitting and fabric fitting. This means not using a typical ready-to-wear sewing order. See the chart on what size to choose based on the type of fabric you have. Fill out the Jeans Profile so you consider how fitted you want the jeans for how they will be worn. Prepare the tissue for trying on to determine rise, width, length, and crotch shape. Learn how to gauge how much smaller the pattern can be in width based on a stretch of the denim. There are many ways to do a fly front, but which is best for incorporating fit? This is why the author tested many different techniques using her order to see which worked best. She sewed a total of 31 pair of jeans for herself and others so make sure she was truly giving the best solutions for fit.

Helen Bartley is a lifelong student of sewing, and her empathetic teaching style is all the better for it. In 2008 she opened Seam Divas Sewing Lounge and has now made teaching sewing her full-time pursuit, having jettisoned traditional corporate life in 2016. With unbridled passion and contagious enthusiasm comes a desire to share--and this is what Helen Bartley brings first and foremost to her sewing lounge. It's reflected in what and how she teaches, her deep dive into details and descriptions, and the way she interacts with students of all sewing experience levels. Helen is also a Palmer/Pletsch Certified Sewing Instructor and Corporate Educator, and she teaches pants, knits and fit workshops in Portland, Oregon. She served as technical editor for the Palmer/Pletsch book Knits for Real People and as contributor, garment sewer, and model for both that book and the highly regarded book The Palmer/Pletsch Complete Guide to Fitting. She's taught hundreds of students, and has also shared her craft and inspired with her knowledge at numerous workshops and classes across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Helen learned sewing at her mother's knee at a tender age, and has pursued this early and impressionable love in lifelong practice. She studied textiles, fashion design and clothing construction at Eastern Washington University (she also taught at the campus's sewing lab). Helen Bartley knows sewing. Helen is also a guitarist and singer-songwriter who occasionally performs in the Portland area. Jeannette Schilling got her Bachelor of Arts degree from Cal State Fullerton.
