We all know and love the Hide-and-Seek and Cinema patterns for the fact that they do such a lovely job of highlighting a favorite fabric. Next time you sew one, why not try a fabric technique and showcase it on the front yoke? It\u2019s a project that doesn\u2019t require a lot of fabric as the pattern piece isn\u2019t too big.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me introduce you to ten techniques\/ideas you might be interested in using for the front yoke of the Oliver + S Hide-and-Seek Dress + Tunic<\/a> or the Liesl + Co. Cinema Dress<\/a> patterns. Get your creative on and have some fun!

\n1)<\/strong> Want to try your hand at fabric weaving? Our woven yoke tutorial<\/a> will show you how to do just that. Starting out with a small scale project is a good way to begin.<\/p>\n
