It's Sew Easy

Altering Patterns

This season is all about changing or altering, beginning with patterns. Don't be limited by what's in the pattern envelope, simple steps can change a pattern to fit personality and size. Londa Rohlfing starts out with easy flat pattern alterations and adding a cowl neck to a simple top for elegant draping. Then, it's Peggy Sagers, the fitting expert, with many looks from just one basic tee shirt pattern. We finish up with Angela Wolf, our couture expert, as she begins a beautiful jacket that will be completed over the series.
