It's Sew Easy Tv Show 1802: Seasonal Upcycle

​This show is all about creating your own upcycled wardrobe. Angela Wolf begins by adding finishing details to the trench coat. Then, Londa Rohlfing takes ties that have deep memories and turns them into T-shirt embellishments.

​In the first half of the show Angela is winding down her trench tutorial. In this segment she talks about topstitching and finishing details on the hem. Pay attention to her tips for topstitching lapels. They are golden!

Topstitching can reallytake a garment from home-made to hand-crafted status.  I’m compiling a list to write a post full of topstitch tricks and techniques so stay tuned for that. I can almost guarantee that some of the items you’ll see on my list of ideas are not common and ordinary.

Hem techniques and more finishing details round out the segment and guide you through the steps to finish up the Chloe trench coat.

In part two, Londa combines neckties with T-shirts for unique tops. You'll find her detailed instructions HERE on the It's Sew Easy TV website. This is certainly one way to wear your memories close to your heart, with tie trim that represents someone close to you. Have you ever made something new with old ties? I admit I currenlty have a collection that stares back at me, seemingly asking when they will get their chance to become something new. If you have any ideas for me I'd love to hear them in the comments.

This show is airing currently at www.itsseweasytv.com and will continue until noon Eastern Standard time on September 11, 2020. If you'd like to own the entire 1800 series titled Whatever the Weather, you can purchase the complete set HERE.
