This is an amazing class, a wealth of knowledge presented in a down-to-earth, fun way. I used to think I would save my money and research everything online myself, but I'm here to say that that only got me so far. Taking the class saved me many a mishap and has given me a window into some aspects of jeans and jeans making that I never would have thought to look up on my own. I know this because I worked on a pair before buying the class and ran into several of the issues that come up in the class. There are also timely reminders to take your time and enjoy the process, balanced with the wisdom that we don't need perfection in every single seam. I bought the class several months ago and made a successful pair of jeans right away. Recently I rewatched much of the class and am almost done with my second pair of jeans! Just hemming and rivets to go. I learned plenty even the second time through, gained some more confidence, and had a great time. It is truly a worthwhile investment if you want to make your own jeans, and - this might seem strange to say - but it's good for the soul too.
