High Adventure - IT'S SEW EASY SHOW #1308

11/11/2017

The subject matter for this show is simple and straightforward. Knit leggings take center stage and then you'll learn tips and tricks for scuba knit and neoprene fashion fabric.
Picture
In the first segment watch Angela stitch a comfortable elastic waistband for slim fitting leggings. Yes, these are close fitting body hugging pants. I think I may be hearing a few groans as some of you currently think this style won't work for you. I hear you!!! Allow me to hop on my fashion advice soapbox for a minute. You might just change your mind if you try a pair of leggings with great boots and a thigh skimming tunic top. But if not, you could also consider getting a similar look with slim leg pants made from a stretch woven fabric. Just throwing a few thoughts your way! I encourage you to explore current pattern books and I think you'll not only find some suitable options, you'll see that they are finally waking up and using some models that look like "real" people. Okay  . . . I'm off the box and ready to tell you about the rest of the show :-)
Picture
Sewing with scuba knit and neoprene fabrics is next on the agenda.

Picture
Alex Woodbury, blogger, designer, and daughter of Linda Lee, well known owner of The Sewing Workshop has many samples to show with techniques for sewing seams, seam finishes, and hems for these unusual but attractive fabrics.

​I found learning about these "new" fabrics really interesting. I have seen them in the fabric store but never had the push to try making something with them. I think I'm ready now and I'll be sure to let you know what I decide on for a future project.
Picture
At the end Angela returns with a quick tip for changing a basic knit pant pattern into a pull on pair like the ones you see her sew in the beginning of the show.
Want a sneak peek at next week? I've got an embroidered western style shirt to show you and I can't wait for you to see it!!!

This show is currently showing online until February 16th at noon EST.
