IT'S SEW EASY EPISODE 913 - SEWING IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM

3/18/2016

Delightful dog coats are the first project featured on this week's online It's Sew Easy TV show. My good friend Paulette Bell  designed and stitched a whole collection of adorable dog coats. Although the ten needle machine is featured here, these would be super quick to create on any home embroidery machine. The basic pattern is a simple circle sized to fit after taking one little measurement on the dog's body.
Picture
Paulette is the queen of the multi-needle machine and my go to person for any questions I have about these souped up "embroidery only" machines. Her knowledge and experience goes far beyond the basics. She has a creative mind and thinks of interesting ways to make the most of these machines. Have you ever thought of turning your embroidery skills into a money making business? If so, you owe it to yourself to explore the available options for multi-needle machines. If you're interested in more information you can CLICK HERE to compare models in the Brother line, and then search for a local dealer and test drive one for yourself.
Picture
Back to the doggie duds . . . You'll find complete instructions for these when you login to the website. The circular style coats you see on the set were sewn from polar fleece. Check out the big dog in the scene! Paulette made the orange coat by shrinking a wool sweater and using the resulting fabric for a fancy way to dress up her dog. 
Picture
These are clever and cute coats any pet owner is sure to love!

In the second segment Angela gives instructions for adding a hand warmer to workout wear. The whole idea behind these garments is their suitability for action and exercise and the hand warmer makes a lot of sense. Despite the fact that these clothes are designed for activity, I'm a huge fan of garments like this just for lounging around the house.
Picture
Recently I ordered this hoodie pattern from hotpatterns.com. The envelope has an interesting word to describe this style. This jacket fits a category they're calling  Athleisure attire. This terminology perfectly describes why I like this style for casual wear.  It has an athletic look but it's just plain fun, and comfortable to wear! I even found the perfect fabric at my local big box fabric store. It's a lightweight French terry and comes in a variety of interesting colors. I picked traditional sweatshirt grey and plan to add some embroidered embellishment to make it into a stylish statement piece for fun and fashion. CLICK HERE if you'd like to take a look at my fabric choice.

If you're looking for a more traditional hoodie style you may want to look at Hot Patterns Daytona Hoodie. This version has a more standard fit and includes some great options for short sleeves and a vest. I like the added bust gathers and the fact that they designed this hoodie for a woman's curves.
Picture
Have you ever thought of adding a monogram to make a classic hoodie classy? CLICK HERE to see project instructions from the Brothersews website. These would make great personalized gifts!

​Just the other day I saw a white hoodie with the word BRIDE emblazoned in crystals on the center back. What a nice touch for a special occasion! As you can imagine, there are lots of possible ways to turn athleisure into a fashion statement.

​Are you ready to watch the show? CLICK HERE to view episode 913 until noon on March 25th. Enjoy!
