It's Sew Easy TV Show 1510: Super Hero Projects

11/23/2018

This show has a mix of fashion styles, including a skirt and a top, along with a quick idea for re-cycling a T-shirt.
Picture
Angela starts the show with two faux suede skirts. One is a classic A-line that is plain and simple, but very chic. The second skirt features raw edge cut-outs for a two-tone accent.

Both skirts are made from ​Shannon Fabrics Faux Suede, officially known as Cuddle® Suede. Shannon Fabrics is one of the show's sponsors this season and they generously provided fabric for many of the shows. I'll be the first to say that this medium weight suede cloth is a superior quality fabric and one that I have enjoyed using for quite a few different projects. It's surprisingly easy to sew, but I think it's really important to study up a bit before sewing with this fabric if it is new to you. Based on experience, let me give you just a few of my own personal quick tips here:
​
  • A Schmetz Microtex size 12 sewing machine needle easily penetrates the fabric without leaving large holes.
  • Fine Ball point pins slip through the fabric easily and prevent snags.
  • ALWAYS use a Press cloth or a strap-on iron shoe when pressing the right side of faux suede. Be sure to test your iron temperature on a scrap of fabric.
  • I find that sewing seams is easier with a MuVit™ Digital Dual Feed foot or a Closed toe Walking foot. For top-stitching, consider using the MuVit™ Digital Dual Feed, or a Non-Stick Roller foot or standard Non-Stick foot.

For more tips you can download my free Faux Suede tip sheet HERE.

Cheryl Sleboda sews a peasant style top in part two, using yet another fabric offering from Shannon Fabrics.  This time it is 100% cotton double gauze. I fell in love with this fabric too, after having the opportunity to use it for my Kimono blouses. I love sharing fabric tips, so I wrote a tip sheet for this double gauze as well. You can download it HERE.

Cheryl used an interesting tool for turning tubes on this show. It's called the Quick Turn tool. Visit Dritz to learn more.

Michelle Paganini rounds out the show by turning a T-shirt into a grocery tote. Following her method, you could probably complete one of these from start to finish in ten minutes. What a great way to re-cycle T-shirts that have seen better days!
You'll find show #1509 online for free at www.itsseweasytv.com until noon EST, 11-30-2018.

I just wanted you to know how much I love Its Sew Easy shows. I watch (almost) every Sat (when we're not out 'auctioning'). Love the tips and recycling projects. I love to sew, have for years but I'm not professional by any means (my mom taught me and she was amazing with needle and thread). Thank you 'sew' much!!

On the 1510 show, Cheryl Sleboda said that the pattern to the Peasant Blouse sewn, would be available to download. However the only information & downloads refer to the Kimono blouse done in an earlier episode. Please provide the pattern measurements for the Peasant Blouse.

Hello Mar Car! Thanks for writing and thanks for watching It's Sew Easy TV. You are correct, the measurements don't seem to be available. I don't have any access to them myself so the best thing to do would be to contact Cheryl directly. Here is a link for you:
