It's Sew Easy TV Show 1807: Resort Wear

Images used with permission from KS Productions.

This show features garments and accessories that will round out any packing list as you plan for a future trip. No intentions for traveling? No problem! You'll find each and every project on this show well suited for far away trips and trips that keep you close to home.

This show starts with my mini capsule wardrobe made from dress weight knit fabric. I made four simple pieces, top with short sleeves, sleeveless top, skirt, and loose-fitting wide leg pants, all from a rayon, poly, spandex knit. Add a few additional staple pieces and some accessories and you're good to go for a short trip or some quick grab and go clothes for your regular activities close to home.

Quick to sew patterns are the key to getting this capsule stitched in a jiffy. I used (tank top) New Look 6608 for the tank top, (pants) Simplicity 8378 for the pants, and New Look 6735 for the short sleeve top and skirt. Note: You can use your own favorites if you like but if you opt for the same type of knit be sure to choose patterns with some fullness for the bottoms. For the tops, you’ll want to choose a pattern with a gently curved neckline so you can take advantage of the neckline technique demonstrated in the show and outline in my instructions HERE.

I packed a lot of knit tips into this segment, including ideas for sewing seams and finishing hems. Speaking of techniques, CLICK HERE and you'll see a similar neckline idea you can use to transform a ready made crew neck T-shirt into a feminine top with a polished neckline.
