Summer Is Here!

Summer is here and we can get ready to enjoy the hot, long, sunny days.  Will you make use of any of those extra hours of daylight to tackle any summer sewing projects? 

We'd love to hear about any projects you are working on, and please leave us a comment if you have any questions!  We'd be happy to help out with a quick sewing tip.

          We're very excited to announce that the next video in our tutorial series is now available to watch on YouTube!  How to Make a Basic Pattern, Part One, will walk you through the steps for drawing your own pattern which can be adapted to be used for skirts, dresses, shirts, and more.  You will need to have filled out the Basic Measurements chart (for tips on how to take the measurements, watch our first video).

           We will be releasing Part Two very soon so stay tuned.  In the next video, we'll show you how to add darts to the pattern to really customize the shape and give you the most flattering fit for any clothing you make.  Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be the first to know whenever we release a new video!

          Please feel free to leave us a question or comment on the video!  We'd love to answer any questions and hear your feedback.  Thanks for stopping by!
