PART ONE: Eileen Roche, Editor of Designs in Machine Embroidery appears on this episode with an infinity scarf project. Wait until you see the interesting materials she uses to fashion two different scarves. Infinity scarves are fun to make and fun to wear. Add a dash of embroidery and you have an accessory that is trendy and unique!
PART TWO: This week I'll show you how to sew your own Sheer Chiffon Wrap! You'll see a variety of wraps from my book displayed on the set.
However, you'll see that the main attraction is an alternative version made from poly chiffon. I ordered this pretty piece of fabric from Hancockfabrics.com
No need to shy away from sewing sheers and soft fabrics. With the proper know how it really is easy. From cutting to hemming to seam finishing I’ll show you how to handle slippery soft fabrics, such as the chiffon featured for this stylish wrap garment. This wrap garment is sewn with the most basic stitch of all, the standard straight stitch. Have you ever used a specialty foot and dedicated throat plate to sew a straight stitch? If you have this option available for your machine it can make all the difference in the world! Even a high tech machine like the Brother Dream Machine will stitch a little smoother with the addition of a straight stitch foot and plate.
I'll give you an alternative stitching method as well, plus info on machine needles and thread. Watch this episode and you'll gain confidence to sew our own sheer chiffon wrap!
