Patterns Used: MANY! Tucks are a wonderful design element when added to a garment with simple lines and silhouette. Take a look at the Project and picture tutorials on this page for inspiration.
Building a wardrobe is a goal of so many sewists, and for good reason. But a whole lot of us still don’t sew our most basic items. Set up a great foundation for your wardrobe with these 6 items.
Pattern: Taper and Wide Leg Pant Pattern #824. Using the Taper Pant pattern, I made a very fashionable stay-at-home lounge-pant. An add-on pocket, drawstring, stretch fabric waistband and hem cuffs are perfect for this popular pull-on pants pattern.
A casual and easy to sew tailored-ish jacket that does not depend on time consuming sewing techniques was my goal. Several of the techniques you will learn are consistent throughout my pattern line.
Pattern: Swing Shirt #505 I really enjoyed sewing with this pattern using traditional sewing techniques blended with my own special ways to eliminate some of the typical construction problems. I used a woven lightweight silk/viscose fabric.
Pattern: Slit Skirt and Pencil Skirt #330 Flip the skirt around to so the walking slit is center front for a modern, fun skirt look. We’ll show you in this blog post how to slightly modify pattern before you cut it out for a better fit.
