Coast to Coast - It's Sew Easy Show #1309

This week you'll see western wear with classic flair, a tote with a mix of memories, and a quick tip for pattern layout on a very fashionable fabric.
Picture
My contribution to the show reveals my penchant for all things western. If you were to ask me why I love the western style so much I'm afraid I wouldn't have a good  answer for you. All I know is that undoubtedly I DO love all things western! 
Picture
Picture
When it comes to western garb I revel in the chance to wear it! For this piece I used Folkwear pattern #212 - Five Frontier Shirts. I think you would agree that this embellished shirt carries the spirit of the style without the standard cowboy/girl look. I did make a few minor modifications, skipping the pockets, eliminating a couple snaps, and adding embroidery to the smooth chambray fabric. Other than that, it's the exact same shirt you see the lady wearing in the center of the pattern photo. It's amazing what a few minor changes can make.
Picture
You'll find complete instructions for embroidery and all the trimmings posted on the It's Sew Easy TV website. For a quick shortcut to the instructions simply click on the image below.

If you are also a western wear aficionado you may want to take a look at a past project featuring yet another one of my favorite Folkwear patterns. CLICK HERE to watch the segment from series 1000 and you'll see the embroidered denim jacket I made for this show.

Picture
Rebecca Kemp Brendt is up next with her clever map meets tote project. 
Picture
With free motion quilt capabilities you can imitate this style using a map that reminds you of your own hometown or a visit to a distant destination. Even without added stitching this tote is sure to be a great conversation starter, wouldn't you agree?
Picture
At the very end of the show Angela Wolf presents a quick tip for a pattern layout with houndstooth fabric.
Picture
Houndstooth is a checked fabric with a funny name and distinctive weave. This fabric has an ancient history, possibly dating back all the way to the first century! Also called tweed, it has a classic, timeless look with a tessellating pattern that's especially interesting up close. Watch this tip segment and learn to pattern match houndstooth for your next garment masterpiece.
If you're ready to go and watch the entire show you can CLICK HERE. Currently airing online until February 23rd at noon EST. Enjoy!
