It's Sew Easy TV Show 1804: Seasonal Transformations

​Every wardrobe needs that versatile garment that can take you through the seasons with slight changes or additions. Lindsey Marsh starts with making a wardrobe to flatter and fit your unique shape by creating a muslin and how to choose the pattern and grade between sizes. Then Rebecca Kemp Brent shows how to transform your wardrobe with embroidered pendants and fabric beads.
Picture
Lindsey Marsh from Sew To Grow is a Texan turned Aussie by way of marriage. Her delightful pattern line includes some great looking classics that would be suitable for a wide range of figure type and lifestyles.
Picture
In this segment she uses her Bondi Top Pattern as an example for pattern fitting variable sizes. She calls it a tic tac toe of sizes, meaning the bust, waist, and hip measurements do not fall on the same cutting line throughout the pattern.
Picture
In this show she walks you through the process of measuring your body, then connecting sizes on the pattern, and finally shows how to make a muslin for a trial fit. You'll find details in her instructions, along with a free download for her personal measurement fitting chart HERE.

You're in for a real treat when you watch Rebecca Kemp Brent's segment on machine embellished jewelry! If I start bragging about my friend Rebecca's many tablets I may never stop. Suffice to say she never ceases to amaze me with her inventive and artistic creations! Take a look at some of the samples from this show below:

You'll see how she cuts accurate shapes using the Brother ScanNCut electronic cutting machine. As always, Rebecca provided instructions to help you design your own similar masterpieces. CLICK HERE to view and download.

You'll find this show airing for free online at www.itsseweasytv.com until noon EST July 17th. Enjoy!

Thank you for honestlysharing your slow down. I too am experiencing a low sewing drive and not sure why. Howwever, that has not stopped me from buying some fabrics. LOL
PS I appreciate your sunnyness.

Hello Martha! It happens to the best of us from time to time. Perhaps we just need to give our creative brain a brief rest so it can dream up more wonderful things to try in the near future. Fabric shopping certainly counts as good medicine in my book LOL!

This was a fun episode. Lindsey is such a pleasure to watch. And Rebecca’s talents are off the chart. I can’t wait to make some jewelry. I’ve been saving empty thread spools for just that purpose but love the foam roller idea. The only thing missing was you! Glad you took off a well deserved day.

Hello Susan! I got to meet Lindsey at the studio. She is a delightful person! As for Rebecca, I find myself smiling throughout each of her segments. I'm so happy you enjoyed the show :-) Watch for more goodness to come!

Joann, hope you are feeling better. If you are feeling exhausted, may not be a bad idea to be tested for Covid-19. My 80 year old sister, her son and a friend of her sons all live together and they were all feeling exhausted. No other symptoms. My sister decided to get tested and she is positive for Covid-19.

Thank you for your care and concern DJ! Thankfully, my energy level is back up to speed. I'm just having a bad allergy season.

You all are an inspiration to me, especially you Joann & Rebecca. Your sewing instructions have helped me with my depression. I have met & already talked with Angela. It all started with Nancy Zieman but I never got to tell her. God bless you all. You all don't know what you all mean to us out here.
