Greetings ducklings!
I’ve finished my spring wardrobe capsule with mostly thrifted houseware fabrics like sheets, drapes, and tablecloths! I’ve shared all the details in a video on YouTube. I’m covering super-important points such as…
Topics covered
- Things to consider picking fabrics for the Sew Liberated Metamorphic, Hinterland, Lichen Duster, and more
- My Metamorphic Dress linen apron hack
- Using the sandwich method for TOTALLY clean seams on gathered waists
- Thing I’ll change when I make the next Metamorphic dress and a warning (TLDR: don’t try French seams!)
- Why I don’t like waist ties and what I use instead
- Why you should not be like me and LISTEN when the pattern maker tells you to not use a heavy fabric! (I.E. How I almost messed up my Gypsum Skirt)
- A magic elastic waistband that’s comfy and looks awesome!
- Adding a bit of ease to the Stasia midsection for a more easy fit.
- How to add ties to a skirt and create a sassy bustle
- How it turns out I’ve been wearing the wrong colors my whole life (or, at least the last five years) and how I’m using Rit Color Remover to fix that.
