The Sew News Sew Chic Sew Along

We're a little late this week with getting the sew along post up this week for the Sew Chic Valentine Slip, but it's up and very detailed. The bodice of the Sew Chic Slip has 5 very small little pieces that can seem a little intimidating, so in the post, I take you step by step through the process. There are a lot of pictures, so I think you'll find it especially helpful as you put the bodice together.

 The post also covers how to create the straps so that they are adjustable.

I also show you how I create a lovely zigzag seam finish.

You can find the post HERE, and I've included the video below if you would like to take a look.
Enjoy!

The Sew Chic Valentine Slip On A Real Body

Just a couple of quick pictures to show you the fit of the Sew Chic Valentine Slip. What you see is what came directly off the pattern, absolutely no adjustments to the pattern. Something to think about, this slip would make a lovely camisole too.

The pink slip is just a little longer than the green and black lace slip. The nice thing about the slip is that it is adjustable so I can lengthen it or shorten it a few inches depending upon what I will be wearing over the slip.

So sorry about it taking me so long to get a few pictures of me in the slip. It's a great pattern that fits well and is easy to put together. So a winner for me all around!

The Sew Chic Valentine Slip/It's All About The Bust

If you are following along with the Sew Chic Valentine Slip Sew Along, you'll want to take a look at this week's post as it's all about adjusting the bust. As we all know, an ill fitting bust, makes for an ill fitting garment. Laura Nash who designed the pattern, kept this in mind. In the pattern, you will find an entire sheet devoted to adjusting the bust. You can find my post HERE on the Sew News blog and I have linked this weeks video below.

I'll be back a little later today with a few pictures of me in my slips.
Have a wonderful day!!!

Sew News Sew Chic Sew Along Week One

The Sew News Sew Chic Sew Along has begun. I actually had to say that on the video!!! What a tongue twister ;)
The blog post is up on the Sew News blog along with the video. I was rather happy and surprised as the video actually turned out fairly well. Of course the production team did a fabulous job, I'm talking about my delivery. It was the first video of the day, I was a little nervous and then I had that incredible tongue twister to try and get out!!
You can find the Sew News blog post HERE.
And if you would like to go ahead and take a look at the video, I've posted it below. This week we are just talking about fabric choices, so there's still time to gather your supplies and join along. If by chance you have not purchased your pattern, you can find it HERE.


Enjoy!
