You can read a preview right here each week and I’ll provide a link to the show so you’re only one click away from watching. The theme of series 1600 is Be A Sewing Superstar. Let’s get started with a preview of show 1601!

Show 1601 features a Kimono cover-up and a chic jumpsuit.
|
Angela Wolf, begins with her own original kimono style top. I don’t know about you, but I never get tired of this style. A kimono like cover-up made with soft fabric drapes over any body shape with ease and feels dreamy when you wear it. Different lengths and widths of fabric change the look of this as well. In this show Angela makes use of a pretty border print to make her draped version of a kimono top.
For this style it’s essential to select a soft, flowing fabric. Poly chiffons and blouse weight silkies are ideal choices. Slinky and silky means slippery. I thought perhaps you could use some tips for handling this type of fabric using two of my favorite tricks for taming silkies, a straight stitch foot and a straight stitch throat plate. CLICK HERE for a tutorial with sheer sewing tips. This tutorial includes instructions for an open style wrap that makes for an elegant coverup.

In part two you’ll see a double gauze jumpsuit made from Shannon Fabric Double Gauze. I’m so enamored with this fabric! It comes in so many assorted colors and prints. This gorgeous navy with silver stars is a standout print and I knew it would be perfect for this simply styled but super sharp jumpsuit. Need some help with this fabric? My letsgosew tip sheet for double gauze will help you sew this unique fabric.
You local fabric shop may carry this special double gauze fabric but if not, click on the *link below for one of my favorite on-line stores. Click the link below and then search for Shannon Fabrics double gauze. Your search will bring up a great selection of solids and prints to choose from.
If you look closely at the top I’m wearing in the photo above you might recognize it from series 1400, specifically show 1406. If you missed that one you can watch the show and download instructions HERE.
The jumpsuit pattern is New Look 6468. As of this post it is still available. Grab it while you can if you like it. The jumper and dresses in this envelope have a classic look that you can vary with different fabric selections.
Tips for setting eyelets and making high end style facings are part of the techniques featured in this show.
I trust you’ll learn some new skills and get ideas you can apply to future projects. You’ll find coordinating instructions for the jumpsuit HERE.
