It's Sew Easy PBS TV Show 1312: Inspired by Art

Unleash your inner artist this week! You're sure to be inspired and motivated to make something free-form and fun-loving after watching this show!
 
In the first segment, up-cycling designer Michelle Paganini adds a touch of modern art to a refashioned shirt using three-ply reverse appliqué.

I had the opportunity to meet Michelle at the studio and spend a great day  with her while we each taped our shows. During lunch she kindly offered me a choice of one of her patterns as a gift.

I instantly chose the Cindy blouse, which happens to be the one Michelle is wearing in the show. I liked the asymmetrical panel and immediately envisioned embroidery designs sprinkled down the front with coordinating designs on the sleeve cuffs.

You'll get to see a variety of her patterns on  her show and tell part of the show. These are not really patterns in the traditional sense of the word. They are actually detailed instructions for creating new garments by creatively re-designing men's shirts.  Quite a novel idea and a great way to turning nice shirts and good fabric into a one-of-a-kind fashion statement for women.

Picture
The featured blouse is the Sandy style. Each one of her patterns features interesting details with plenty of blank canvas for added embellishments. Be sure to visit Michelle at her website, paganoonoo.com to learn more!
Picture
In the second half of the show Angela Wolf creates her own embellished denim fabric with free-motion embroidery using the Brother Dream Fabric Frame.
Picture
Take a look at the jackets above and you'll see that Angela has developed many creative ways of taking a simply styled jacket and turning it into a work of art. The free motion techniques she demonstrates on this show are yet another way to put your own creativity into garments sewn from scratch. See her add simple squiggles for an easy yet interesting accent on plain fabric.
Ready to go and watch the show? Go ahead and CLICK HERE. This show is available online until December 16th at noon EST. Enjoy!
