Sewing Pattern Review Butterick 4386

Friday, August 30th, 2013

One of my student’s Anna was invited to a wedding and wanted to make a beautiful new dress for the occasion.

She purchased a gorgeous piece of lace and we transformed a simple Butterick dress pattern B4386 into a designer after five!

What I loved most about this dress was playing with the pieces of lace to get just the right look we were after.

Watch today’s video below where I share with you details about the pattern, fabric chosen and the sewing features!

P.S. Make sure you watch to the end where you will see my special sewing helper!

Up-cycling & revamping an old dress to new!

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

Hi everyone,

Today’s blog post features a terrific sewing project of “up-cycling!”

Transforming an old dress into a new one with some very simple sewing!

This project is one of Jacqueline’s, where she had an old long white summer dress that had really seen its day. Watch how she quickly and easily transformed it into something new!

Full length

AFTER PHOTO

BEFORE BUTTONS

New Buttons!

So as you can see, Jacqueline cut off the full length hem to her knee, changed the old yellow buttons to white with a black outline, threw it in the wash with white king, gave it a good press and it was like brand new!

What do you think? Does this inspire you to up-cycle something in your wardrobe?

We hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you have any comments for us we would love to hear them, simply write to us below!

Sewing shopping in Serbia!

Sunday, April 7th, 2013

Hi everyone,

I’m so excited to share with you that my daughter Jacqueline has been sewing shopping in Belgrade, Serbia!

The reason this is just so special to me is that I’m half Serbian myself, as my late father is from Nis, Serbia.

Jacqueline was lucky enough to have a trip to Serbia to both visit coaching clients of hers and meet some of our family!

I can’t wait to visit there with Jacqueline next time.

As always while traveling we love to check out the sewing shops and sewing venues. Jacqueline did this and you can see her findings in this video below:

Pozamanterija, Te Merkator, Bulevar, Umetnosti 4, Novi Beograd
