In this next instalment of our Making Jeans series we talk about STRETCH!
Stretch denim is commonly available these days, but what is it? How much stretch do you get? What makes the fabric stretch? How much is a good amount of stretch?

Coming soon in the series, we'll cover what jeans patterns are available for the home sewer, how they react when washed at home and the difference in costs for denims.

Once we run through all of this information we are going to pick a couple of patterns and fabric each and make our own jeans. Follow us along the way on Youtube and over on Instagram.

All the fabrics we talk about have been sent to us by Minerva.com (https://tidd.ly/3GiybwQ), they have an excellent choice of denims at www.minerva.com. (Some links are affiliate links)

These are the samples of stretch denim we received from Minerva.com, with links to the fabrics on their website. You can also find them listed on our blog https://www.thestitchsisters.co.uk/bl...
