Fashion hacks are my favorite sewing inspiration. Do you specifically shop for fashion in pattern catalogs or on pattern sites?\u00a0 I found myself really wondering if these things are really in fashion or just look good to\u00a0other seamstresses. I started about a year ago shopping in fashion magazines and stores for hacks.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to look cool to the sewing community, I wanted to look cool!<\/p>\n
This dress!\u00a0 [envira-gallery id=”2853″]I cannot wait to make. Do you see the simplicity of the lines? The photo boasts, \u201cMade in suede!\u201d\u00a0 Easy peasy!<\/p>\n We all need casual I don\u2019t care clothing in the warmer months, right? \u00a0Here’s another of my favorite fashion hacks.[envira-gallery id=”2851″]This is a Raglan top with a wide neckline.\u00a0 They have Shirred the neckline, but you could get a similar look with elastic. I would hem the neckline.\u00a0 Then sew the elastic directly to the hem.\u00a0 Encasing the elastic would take away some of the free spirit.\u00a0 If you want to know how to shir, Seamingly <\/a>Kitten has a great tutorial.\u00a0 Basically you need elastic thread.<\/p>\n By Gum By Golly<\/a> is a really hip seamstress.\u00a0 [envira-gallery id=”2849″]She sews like I sew, a lot of self drafting. In case you haven\u2019t heard, the turtleneck is making a comeback!\u00a0 She nails it and gives great instructions to make your own.\u00a0 WHO WHAT WEAR is featuring dark denim<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had dark denim [envira-gallery id=”2847″]in and out of my stash for over a year now and I just bought quite a lot of some very lightweight dark denim at\u00a0 Hancock <\/a>Fabrics. I love the look of this dress they featured. It\u2019s essentially your favorite tee-shirt, nipped at the waist, and made longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fashion hacks are my favorite sewing inspiration.

\n[envira-gallery slug=\"freepeople-lace-up\"]<\/code>This is one [envira-gallery id=”2855″]of the better descriptions.\u00a0 It not only lists the fabric but also the exact fabric content and points out the seaming around the bust as well as details about the hem we cannot see. Thanks for the help needed on our own fashion hack. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
