Segment 1
Three-Way Wrap
Three-Way Wrap
If you don't know it already, I love designing wraps, making wraps, and wearing wraps! In this show you'll see three draped on the mannequins. The one in the middle is the embroidered version from my book titled Wrapped in Embroidery. The black and white wraps are essentially the same style minus the embroidery and sewn from lightweight sweater knit.
When I initially designed the soft blue suede wrap, I got the basic idea from a knitted version found in a discount store. With added embroidery and covered buttons this wrap is unique and stylish. If you'd like, you can watch a short video HERE, and see the blue suede wrap worn another way.
I got to thinking that I could certainly make another version in sweater knit and thus the black and white ones were created for the show. To wear this at least three different ways you only need to slip the buttonhole into a different button. I suggest standing in form of a mirror and playing around with the different looks you can achieve.
I shared a few of my time-honored tips for sewing with sweater knit in this segment. You'll find instructions for this wrap when you CLICK HERE.
P.S. My knit came from Fabric.com A search for lightweight sweater knit will yield a variety of choices. Just be sure you select lightweight sweater knit for this project.
