Isle Jean Sew Along | Getting Started

We are happy to bring you a sew along for the Isle Jeans pattern. We will be sewing the wide leg view since the construction is the same for each view. The sew along features step-by-step photos for the entire sewing process to help you sew an amazing pair of jeans! In addition to the sew along, we also have community-lead sewing support in our Facebook group, or you can email us directly for additional support.

TIPS FOR CUTTING

When cutting your fabric and pattern, here are a few important notes to remember:

Your fabric should be pre-washed the same way you plan to launder your garment.
Read the information on each pattern piece.
Grainlines are indicated on the pattern pieces. Place pattern pieces on the grainline, parallel to the selvage or fold.
If the pattern says “Cut 2,” the pieces are mirror images of each other.
If the pattern says “Cut on FOLD,” place the pattern edge exactly along the fold of the fabric.
Clip all notches at 1/4” (0.6 cm) or less.
Transfer all pattern markings to your fabric with a washable marker or chalk.
