Book Description
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.

The Sewing Shop is a new feel-good romance book for 2021. It's the second book in the Sewing, Crafts & Quilting series of books. It can be read as a standalone book, or as part of the series. Includes a Sewing Shop embroidery pattern. Story: Iona, a quilter, goes to the Scottish Highlands to work in the local village quilt shop during the summer. It's a temporary job, selling beautiful quilts, lovely fabric, yarn and embroidery kits, and helping with the sewing bee. Iona isn't looking for romance, but when she meets the mystery man owner of the new Sewing Shop, he's attracted to her, but is she interested in him? Or is Kier, the rich and handsome flower grower, the man for her? Or perhaps Gairn, the baker and budding chocolatier? The new sewing shop owner is an expert quilter, and inherited the old-fashioned sweetie shop that he's now opened as a sewing shop to sell his quilts and fabric. Knowing that this is only a summer job, Iona is reluctant to have the hot summer fling that the sewing bee ladies encourage her to enjoy.
