In this show you'll learn to get more mileage out of garments with interchangeable looks and ready-to-wear jazzed up with machine embroidery.
In part one Jane Monzures of DIY by Jane fame takes t-shirts and turns them into a cool apron. Such a great idea for all of those t-shirts too nice to discard but not really on your current "want to wear" list.
I think this is a great idea for souvenir shirts as well as others you may have packed away along with sentimental attachments you still have for them. It's also just a neat idea for a way to honor someone else's love for sports teams and so forth. Make something creative with their favorite t-shirt graphics and you're sure to bring a smile to their face. Great gift idea for Dads and grads too! Consider including the apron along with a set of barbecue tools for Dad, or perhaps a survival cooking kit for the graduate bound for new life in a dorm.
In part two Laura Pifer re-styles a t-shirt by adding bell sleeves. Laura is a frequent contributor to the official Brother blog and she's known for quick and easy projects that often feature up-cycled ready-mades. Her simple t-shirt re-do is nice for big or little girls alike and a super project for summer.
I can hardly contain my excitement for the online debut of this segment of It's Sew Easy TV. In show 1407 I had the opportunity to focus on one of my all time favorite embellishment techniques, machine embroidery on ready-to-wear! Jazzing up wardrobe basics with splashes of embroidery in interesting places is possible with any machine that has a hoop for embroidery. As with everything else, it's all about knowing some nifty tips and tricks that pave the way for embroidery success stories.
In this show you'll learn about the three P's for producing good quality embroidery: Planning, Preparation, and Placement.
