TL;DR - There’s a full Melody Dolman video sewalong - it’s free. Hi Sewing Friends! 👋 Some of you might be diving into Melody Dolman after it’s feature last week. In related news, a few years ago, Tami made a full length LIVE workshop class experience for Melody. It sold out a few times over and got rave reviews. 🏃‍♂️ ⭐️ In honor of the recent feature for Melody, we’re releasing a portion of that Workshop series for Melody Dolman. (Not the live class videos, but all the step-by-step demos - basically a full video sewalong for each and every step of the pattern - including some basic fitting adjustments.) 🪡✂️😇 It’s separated into three parts. Watch just what you need, the whole thing through, or watch/pause/sew as you go. Stay in touch over there for even more goodies! 🤓 Like the idea of a workshop course for your sewing patterns? This Melody series is just a taste of what you will find with a full LN workshop course - those courses have quite a few extras and even more structure and support. 📗📘📙 Hope you take a look at the new resource and that you feel empowered to tackle your Melody with lots of confidence. 🙌 #sewingclass #sewingworkshop #sewingpatterntutorial #sewingvideo #demo #sewalong #melodydolman #indiesewing #sewathome

Say it with me… Fabric affects fit! 😇 Back when Melody Dolman released a few years ago, Tami Demo’ed how much of a difference your fabric choice makes in the final garment. They are not all equal, even with the same sizes, options, and everything else! See how the little tie works so much easier with a drapier fabric? This is one of those cardinal rules that every sewist learns with experience. Featuring Melody Dolman today! So much love for the 5 star pattern! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #melodydolman #flashback #sewinglesson #sewistsofinstagram #sew #fabric #dolman #buttonup #campstyle #indiepatterns #homesewing

🚨Crucial sewing fact: 🚨 Fabric can drastically affect the fit of a pattern. 🧵 One pattern in five different fabrics, will fit five different ways! It’s just science.🧬 But how to handle that? How can we make gorgeous pieces and use our fabrics wisely - while planning ahead for the ways their stretch, recovery, and composition will differ?? 🤨 New video examines that key sewing principle, today on the channel. Featuring today’s special pattern: Olympia Dress sewing pattern- we love the unique shawl collar design on this one! So polished and sleek! 💅 #fabric #sewingfabric #sewingschool #lovenotions #olympiadress #dresssewingpattern #indiepatterndesign #indiesewing #smallbusiness #digitalsewingpattern

🧵👗✨ I think sewists are natural rule-breakers. Or maybe we’re just a bunch of utterly practical AND creative people, and that shows up in our hacks. Let’s take a closer look at Erin’s recent #Saltwhistledress and discuss her 3 practical and creative additions: Straight hem Ruffled tiers Pockets! How to do these little modifications? 1. Draw a straight line under the pattern’s original scallop hem for a straight hem. 2. Measure your tiers. Use the peplum piece for the first two tiers, making the second one 1.5 times wider. The third tier is 1.5 times the length of the second tier using the middle skirt piece. 3. Add pockets from your fave pattern— Erin used the Caprice Skirt pockets! Attach to the top tier, sew, and baste in place. Sew the peplum tier to the bodice, matching pockets to the front. And voila! (There’s a more detailed video in stories and linked above) Check out this fab, creative and functional hacked Saltwhistle Dress! Get the pattern now and join the fun with today’s feature! 🧵 #sewing #sewinghack #sewist #athomesewing #SaltwhistleDress #sewingpattern #sewyourclothes #becreative
