Hi Everyone! In this final installment we wrap things up with a look at staging & styling photos and creating memorable gifts! After all the work is done to create a beautiful dress or outfit, it's so important to carry that attention to detail over to the photos or gifting presentation. I have two videos to share with you here, one with a focus on photos and the other with a focus on packaging & gifting.
Hi Everyone! Have you wondered how to add an embellishment to smaller areas, such as sleeves? In Part 3, we will take a look at adding the embellished details to the fabric prior to cutting out the pattern piece. For this example, I'll be demonstrating on the sleeve piece of the Carnaby St dress using a pre-made embroidered appliqué. Follow along to watch the full process of adding the embellishment and sewing the dress!
Hi Everyone! In Part Two, we switch gears a bit and take a look at adding design interest with the fabric itself. There are many ways to manipulate fabric, such as pleating, ruching, and pin tucks. Follow along in this post as I show you how to add ruching to a bodice to add the wow factor to your next holiday dress!
How do you take something ordinary and make it extraordinary? With embellishments! In this topic I will show you how adding the perfect embellished details not only elevate the design, but really make your garment stand out.
Hi Everyone! November has 5 Tuesdays, which gives us the opportunity to share some news and updates with you! This post will outline the coming November topic, provide you with some resources to get prepared, and get your feedback on what's to come in 2022.
A few years ago, while visiting a Quilt Show I came across a darling display of tiny little pincushions that immediately caught my eye! I love all things miniature and this looked like a tiny little cake! The secret to the perfect little circular shape is a bottle cap, you heard me right, a bottle cap! Pair it with some wool felt, adorable ribbon, your hand sewing skills, and make a teeny tiny keepsake pincushion for years to come!
In Part 3 we have a special treat! Donna Kinley is joining us to share a treasured keepsake pincushion tutorial. Follow along as she demonstrates how to turn something special into a life-long treasured keepsake!
