It's Sew Easy TV Show 1605: Night Time Glamour

This show is a guide for sewing glamorous looks for night-time or daytime! 
Picture
Luxurious fabrics are featured along with styling details for garments with a bit of glamour. First up, you'll see my modern day version of a dress that shines with a  1940's vibe.

Ahhh the delight of sewing and then wearing a new dress! There’s something so complete about a dress. Pop in on, add shoes and desired jewels and your outfit is finished.

In this show I had the opportunity to show a dress that’s custom sewn, embellished with elegant embroidered scrolls, and finished off on the inside with a favorite stitch on the serger, the two-thread overcast. Look closely and you’ll see that I’m wearing a Wrapped in Embroidery wrap with the same design I used on the dress. This simple design is favorite for lighter weight fabrics. In this show you’ll get tips on placement, stabilizing, choosing color combos, and precisely stitching embroidery on dress weight fabric.

Photo shows two different thread colors. Needle thread is navy and the lower looper thread is red.
While the machine was embroidering I swung over to the serger to demonstrate serging with two-threads. With a two thread option you place a convertor in the eye of the upper looper. Then you thread the lower looper and just one needle, left for a wide stitch and right for a more narrow stitch. This results in an overcasting stitch that's soft and lighter in weight than the standard serger stitch. It's also great when you need thread economy since you only need two spools to match your fabric. Keep in mind that this stitch doesn't lock at the needle line but it does lock at the raw edge. Check out all the detailed instructions HERE.

​In the next segment Angela Wolf drapes a cowl neck top on a dress form. Watch as she slashes and pins her way towards an elegant sleeveless top. Her top is trimmed with bias at the neck to avoid a floppy back facing. If the idea of draping is a little daunting for you, study this segment and apply some of the finishing and hemming techniques to a pattern with the same or similar styling.

Picture
d insetIn the last segment Londa Rohlfing shows a quick tip for creating a cascading neckline with a 9-inch strip of fabric. She also shows how to add a drape at the hem. Stitched in like a godet, this “hankie” hem treatment is popular in ready to wear. I've seen lots of pointed hems in the pattern catalogs recently as well! Take a look at her instructions HERE.

What pattern can I use for Angela’s Wolf cow neck top in Night Time Glamour 1605. Would really like to make blouse but need a pattern.

Hello Delfine! I know that Angela draped the fabric on a dress form to make her pattern. For a commercial pattern, I would suggest new New Look Pattern 6577 with all different sleeve variations, or New Look 6562 for a tank type version. Let me know how it works out for you. Happy sewing!
