When you spend so much time working on a handmade garment, you want to maximize how you can wear it. Melanie from the Advisor’s Circle is sharing how she adapted the Rush Hour dress to be convertible. With this modification, she can wear the dress two ways!

A new season is approaching, and it is time to start putting together sewing plans. Lyndsey is discussing how to create digital inspiration boards using free online tools.

We’re continuing our fabric shopping series, visiting cities from all over the world. Today we’re bringing you a fabric shopping guide for Mumbai, India.

Are you ready to transition your wardrobe to fall in the Northern Hemisphere?  How many handmade pieces do you have that span multiple seasons?  Lyndsey shares how she styles her Melville vest for an early fall look.

Lyndsey shares how she applied a new pants fitting method to the Lisboa Walking Shorts pattern. While several methods are available for fitting pants, stitchers still find the task challenging. The new method that Lyndsey is trying in this post gets results faster, taking the fear and frustration out of the process.

Melanie, a member of the Advisors’ Circle, is sharing a mash-up of two of her favorite patterns. We love how she created a casual version of the Belgravia by using the Bento Tee for the bodice.

We love the drama Lyndsey added to the Enmore Halter Dress with a simple pattern alteration. She is sharing the steps she used to create the look.

Asmita, from the Advisor’s Circle,has returned to discuss how she adjusted the Enmore top for her shape and comfort. She tackled a new fit challenge and ended up with a fantastic new make!

We love the tired shirtdress that Mire made from the Classic Shirt pattern. She has provided a tutorial on how she altered the pattern to meet her vision. Check out this easy pattern hack. She liked it so much she sewed two!

Lyndsey demonstrates how to use a full bust adjustment and dart manipulation to add fullness to the Enmore Top without adding a dart. The result is a fantastic fit and great look for this pattern.

Mire is sharing two pairs of Lisboa Walking Shorts that she made. She used Linen remnants for her stash, perfect for the hot summer months! And we love the self-fabric belt she added!

Depending on the fabric choice, two garments sewn from the same pattern can look entirely different. We love the fabulous special occasion dress Sharon made using the Enmore pattern. She demonstrates how choosing the right fabric can take a dress from daywear to something made for a celebration.
