Sewing lets you strut your style with wearables, and with items to your personal style at home. In this show the table is the star.

Custom crafted placemats always grab my attention. Truth be told, machine embroidered garments sewn from scratch are my top pick for something to sew, but would you believe that after that I might just pick making placemats?!?

In this segment Rebecca makes hers entirely with the Brother Dream Fabric Quilting Frame, along with the optional Automation Software.

Her design may remind you of a Spirograph toy or art kit. In the software this style is call bow ditches. Go figure . . . they are quite nice looking despite the strange name :-) Rebecca has instructions for the complete project. Click on the above image to view the info.

Next up is a colorful table runner by Joanne Hillestad, from the fatquartergypsy.com. 

Joanne designed a colorful and incredibly unique table decoration that mixes prints with basic felt for the background. This project is oh so clever and easy to execute. Click on the above image and you can access her fabulous instructions with all the patterns included for this WELCOME table runner.

I loved Angela's lacy tank tops in the last segment. In just a few short minutes she shows you how to do a pattern hack for the tops and serge the yoke seam with the addition of clear elastic. 

Three instructors and three great projects all in one super It's Sew Easy TV show! CLICK HERE to watch the show. It's currently airing until noon EST May 31st, 2019.

1609 has two full segments so you're going to see a lot of the step-by-step details for each project. The show starts with Angela showing you how to design a summery top with a few measurements and easy cutting techniques.

This is a great looking top for wearing under or even over something else. Lengthen the top and add additional fullness for a great swimsuit cover up. Watch this segment and you'll get ideas for adding embroidery and decorative stitches to embellish the front.

Cheryl Sleboda takes over the second half of the show with her signature style of accessories for Cosplay creations. Her variety of gauntlets are easy to make from a custom pattern.

Three instructors will inspire, educate, and enlighten you this week on It's Sew Easy TV!

The first two segments are full of practical information and tips every sewing enthusiast will appreciate. Ah ha moments are sure to arise while you watch and learn these superstar sewing tips and tricks.

Ellen March, Community Content Director for Sew News magazine starts out the show. Over the years she has collected many tips from readers of the magazine and today is the day she shares her favorites. I would normally tell you to grab a pen and paper but you don't need to, you'll find all the tips listed in one compact PDF file on the TV website. CLICK HERE to download and save these valuable tips.

Mary Roediger, Ohio State Director of the Make it With Wool Contest is up next. You won't need a notepad for this segment either, but you will need to imagine the feel of each of the fabrics that Mary shows and describes with detail. You'll find her detailed descriptions and printable tip sheet HERE.

Angela Wolf is last but not least as she takes you through the steps to transform an ordinary tank top into a sleek one shoulder style with an added ruffle. I love the way she chops up a standard pattern shape to make it new and different!

This show features two instructors with items that are unrelated but still fit the "Movie Star" theme.

Angela Wolf starts out with a chemise. This French word simply means shirt, referring to an under garment worn during the middle ages. Today we think of a chemise as a slinky slip like garment in a dress length or cropped to wear as a camisole top. It's a classic nightie with a big dose of feminine flair.

In this segment Angela focuses on the steps for lace application and gathers on the bodice. She's hacked one of her own patterns to create the look, but of course you can apply many of the techniques to ready made patterns.

Since this is such a timeless style it's likely that you'll find many commercial patterns with a very similar style. In a super quick search I found the following in current pattern catalogs:

• Butterick 6031
• Vogue 9218
• ​Vogue 9015
• Vogue 8888
• Kwik Sew 3554

Keep in mind that commercial patterns may be discontinued at a moment's notice so snatch one up now if you really like it. Another alternative, and MY absolute favorite chemise pattern is Folkwear Intimacies 219.

In one of my earlier It's Sew Easy TV shows, Show 906-1, I used this pattern for a nightie trimmed with machine embroidered lace. I modified the pattern slightly, adding gathers to the front bust. Folkwear patterns are generally geared for intermediate to advanced stitchers but this sweet and feminine nightie is surprisingly easy to make. 

In part two of the show Cheryl Sleboda makes a simple crown shape with shiny fabric and a foam insert. Her samples show crowns suited for a variety of occasions, including a cute idea for a birthday party. I couldn't locate any patterns for this specific project, but it seems like it would be easy to draw one to your own liking. If you're looking for more princess style party favor printables, check out ​​this collection from my friends at Scrap Smart.
