“Hacking” for the Fall CreativFestival
Do you recall this from my last post?
One of the classes I’m teaching on behalf of Distinctive Sewing Supplies; at the Fall CreativFestival, at the International Center in Toronto October 26-28 (more details are coming soon)
One Pattern = 3 Different Tees
Working from a commercial sewing pattern with a round (not “V”) neckline, Yvette (that’s me) will teach some basic pattern personalization, creating 3 adaptations, an inverted front pleat, adding an extended sleeve cap, and adding side drapes. Suggested patterns include: Jalie 2805, Burda 6749 or 6611
So now not only am I a “Pattern Hacker” but I’ll be teaching others how to “Pattern Hack”. Go figure.
Today I’m featuring my hack to Jalie 2805 Women’s Tee Shirts. note: apparently I sometimes forget to smile while concentrating on using the remote for my camera.
I used an ITY from Distinctive Sewing Supplies in a dark navy colour, it’s so comfortable and cool to wear, that I’ll enjoy wearing it well into the cooler weather of fall.
The pattern; Jalie 2805 Women’s T-Shirts was provided to me at no charge by Distinctive Sewing Supplies, so I could make it, review it, hack it, teach the hack, and then wear it with pleasure. It’s one of those patterns that will never go out of style, a real staple in my sewing pantry.
After tracing off a front and back pattern piece, I deepened the front neck, extended the shoulders to just past the shoulders, and added side drapes.
I completed my T by using a rolled edge finish for the sleeves and draped hem, and a turned to the inside band.
In this hands-on class, you’ll arrive with the front and back of your pattern traced off, and a ruler, pencils and a roll of pattern paper, and I’ll teach you how to hack your own pattern.
I don’t have the info on the time of my class yet, but if you attend, please let me know if you follow Distinctive Sewing Supplies or my blog.
you did an awesome job hacking the pattern… love the deeper round neck and cap sleeves… the extended bottom… gives it a classy look!!!!!
Thank you Suzanne, I’ll be wearing it to Sewing Social in Trenton on Tuesday.
Looking forward to this fall’s festival. I hope I can say hello. Nice job on the Ts.
Thank you Katherine, I hope to see you at the festival.
Fantastic Yvette, I know you’ll do a great job, I’d love to go this year but we’re moving, don’t know exact date but it will be before Oct 20,
Best of Luck at the festival.,
