Angela Wolf and Michelle Paganini share tips for making something old look new again in this first show of the 1400 series.
In this segment Angela takes two tired garments and turns them into one cute dress. Throughout the series you'll see Angela construct a classic shirtdress from chambray fabric. This style is really big now in ready to wear but really, I can't remember a time when this style was out of style!
During the series he gives a variety of options for pattern choices. I really like the look of New Look 6470. It has darts, along with an option for color blocking that would really set it apart as a one of a kind, sewn from scratch garment. You may already know that I'm a big fan of New Look patterns. For more info I invite you to read my blog about the topic of patterns HERE.
Continue watching this online series and by the end you'll be able to make a dress with details that shout hand-crafted instead of home-made!!!
