In show 1702 you'll see Angela Wolf, Ellen March, and Ebony Love show off some great fabrics in their trendy and timely projects. This show covers all the bases with garment making, a great accessory item, and a useful quilting item to take to class. Are you ready to explore the topics in this week's show? Let's start the preview!
This is the beginning of the tunic tutorial as Angela Wolf takes you step by step with her Linda tunic pattern as her featured tunic top. Let me remind you right off the bat that you can purchase this pattern with a 15% discount* if you visit Angela's site and use JOANNE as your code. Click on the image below and it will take you directly to the pattern page.
This top has a neat neckline and you'll find it surprisingly easy to sew, especially when you watch the video demo.
This pattern has all the pieces and markings you need to sucessfully sew this modest, yet attractive neckline slit. Be sure to pre-test your interfacing as some fabrics "fuse funny." One of my personal favorite soft interfacings is Pellon 460 Stretch Fuse. I suggest you check it out and give it a try next time you need interfacing that stays soft and pliable but adds the stabilization you need on soft flowing fabrics.
Ellen March is next with a super stylish tote made from shimmery fabric combined with cork. Watch as she shows you how to stitch a boxed corner without wasting fabric by folding and cutting off the points. This is especially useful knowledge when working with cork as you’re saving on the cork cost.
In her instructions she lists all the supplies you need and guides you through the steps to make a look alike tote. CLICK HERE to download a copy.
It was particularly interesting to see all the notions and fabrics she combined for this tote. Cork is featured prominently along with notions that give this bag a quality look. I've included links to these items so you can find them quickly. Check out the list below:

The cork fabric and straps are from Fabric Funhouse. I met the owner at the studio, and she had lots of pretty samples for us to see & touch. As you'll see in this show, sewing with cork is quite easy. Click on the above image to visit the site. You'll find a terrific selection along with reasonable shipping prices.
In the last part of the show Ebony Love returns with the project she promised last week while making the Contrary Wife quilt block. I think you'll love (pun intended) her project - it's a portable mini design wall. You'll find instructions HERE.
That wraps up the show for this week. This show currently airs until noon EST on Friday October 4th at www.itsseweasytv.com.
