This show features three guests. Rebecca Kemp Brendt shows you how to sew gussets to solve fitting issues, Angela Wolf adds a placket to her chambray shirtdress, and Jenny Rushmore converts darts into princess seams. Rebecca is masterful at all types of sewing. In this segment she shows how many different garments benefit from a little extra ease and comfort via a gusset. This technique is a very practical one to learn should the need arise to make a garment more roomy right where you need it most. As promised in the first show, Angela takes you through an important step for sewing the shirtdress. It's going to be fun to see this dress take shape! Jenny Rushmore finishes up the show with a segment on dart design. Jenny is an expert at fitting curvy girls. Indeed princess seams are a fashion bonus for curvy girls. Perhaps you're like me and find yourself to be different sizes in different places. If that's the case then you too will appreciate the value of princess seams.

Angela Wolf and Michelle Paganini share tips for making something old look new again in this first show of the 1400 series. In this segment Angela takes two tired garments and turns them into one cute dress. Throughout the series you'll see Angela construct a classic shirtdress from chambray fabric. This style is really big now in ready to wear but really, I can't remember a time when this style was out of style! During the series he gives a variety of options for pattern choices. I really like the look of New Look 6470. It has darts, along with an option for color blocking that would really set it apart as a one of a kind, sewn from scratch garment. You may already know that I'm a big fan of New Look patterns. For more info I invite you to read my blog about the topic of patterns HERE. Continue watching this online series and by the end you'll be able to make a dress with details that shout hand-crafted instead of home-made!!! Michelle Paganini is up next with a ton of interesting ideas for transforming masculine shirts into feminine blouses. Her designs are inspiring and her tips and tricks are applicable to many other sewing projects. Michelle is known for her commitment to up-cycling garments, along with other found fabrics. "Good for the planet and good for your budget" is her motto and I couldn't agree more. You'll find her instruction easy to follow, with great graphics for foolproof stitching and designing. Michelle is one sharp stitcher! Stay tuned, you'll see her return in future episodes. CLICK HERE for more information on this episode.
