Adrianna — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 04:33:50 +0000

Most knit sewing patterns that feature a banded edge are designed to be sewn in the round. This means that you first sew shoulder and side seams, sew your band piece into a loop, and then sew the loop to the round opening in the garment, such as the neckline or armscye. This is a ...

Before I even finished making the original samples of the Marseille Dress, I made this two-piece hack! I just loved the idea so much I couldn’t wait, and this airy textured cotton fabric in my stash was just calling out to be used! This is a super easy hack if you want to change up ...

How to sew a Convertible Collar

Adrianna — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 18:15:30 +0000

A convertible collar differs from a standard collar in that the stand is built-in, rather than being a separate pattern piece. This makes convertible collars easier to construct, and also lends them a more casual look. They’re usually found more on coats, jackets, camp-style shirts, and now, the shacket. The Fairmount Shacket features a convertible ...

I made this video tutorial to show you how to draft a drop-sleeve tee pattern from any regular set-in sleeve knit tee pattern. For this version, I used the Union St. Tee in my regular size, and just created a binding for the neckline instead of a band. Sometimes you just want that extra casual ...

Here’s one that’s already been done multiple times by you creative folks, and I decided it needed its own tutorial – the Phoenix Blouse as a dress! Pattern designers will tell you that self-editing is one of the hardest parts of pattern design. I had the idea to extend Phoenix into a boho-style dress from ...

French Bias Binding: A tutorial

Adrianna — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 20:23:29 +0000

Up to this point, all Hey June patterns except the Charleston Dress use the French method of applying bias tape. Once I discovered this method, I was sold. It is so much simpler and more intuitive than “regular” bias applications, and has the benefit of only requiring one pressed fold if you’re making your own. ...

Front Placket Greer Jumpsuit

Adrianna — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 20:22:19 +0000

Welp, an instagram ad got me. I saw this navy jumpsuit that was identical to the Greer in every single way, except it had a center front placket with aged brass snaps and a scoop neckline instead of a V. After a month of seeing that ad regularly, I realized resistance was futile and ordered ...

Sitka Sweatshirt Hoodie and Tee

Adrianna — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 19:26:54 +0000

I’ve had fun “hacking” my latest pattern, the Sitka Sweatshirt. Though, I don’t feel very honest using the word “hack”, because these two mods require no thought and really no alterations at all. I love how versatile this pattern is on its own, with the 3 different views and opportunities for all kinds of colorblocking, ...
