Series Summary
Sewing is an ancient craft that still has remarkable relevance in today's modern world. The art of stitching and assembling pieces of fabric together either by hand or with the use of a modern sewing machine is still a valuable skill and can be used for industry, home, or artistic purposes. Industrial sewing is usually done with the use of machines, but for seamstresses, alteration givers, and most casual sewers, an old fashioned needle and thread is still incredibly useful and more often than not the desired method since it enables far more detail. Tailoring and dressmaking require not only a needle and thread, but also other tools and materials that you can find easily at arts and crafts stores. Sometimes we grow tired of the same old clothes, and although they may still fit, we just need a change.

From picking the fabric to cutting, measuring, and attaching gore inserts, you'll learn every step on the way to making a new pair of bell bottom jeans!
