Jean It! — Episode 22
|Sponsored| Join co-hosts Meg, Amanda and Kate for a discussion of jeans making. We’ll explore handmade jeans on all the levels: what’s intimidating, what style we each prefer (skinny or wide leg, high or low rise, rigid or stretch), our favorite jeans sewing patterns and resources for taking the plunge. After that, dive into wedding stories and a lively wedding-themed sewing lightning round in honor of Meg’s nuptuals. Fun stuff!
