Lifting Pins and Needles | LITTLE changes that make sewing EASIER: Placket, collar, pin-tucks. Linen Presto (Love Notions). @LiftingPinsandNeedles | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 minutes ago.
Hello friends, I have a very practical episode with tips on how to make small changes to patterns to make sewing easier. I'm using the Presto from Love Notions to create a dreamed garment with linen. I wanted a versatile piece that I could wear buttoned up on its own, or open like a light layering piece and the changes needed are so simple.
Come and join me to discover:
*How to simplify the banded collar and transform it from 3 pieces to 1 piece
*How to transform a separate placket piece to a simple extension of the front piece
*How to transform a half placket detail to a total length placket so you can wear it open
*Let's add a few cute pin-tucks to a rectangle before cutting out the pattern piece
The Presto Tunic from Love Notions has been updated to improve sizing to 5X. It's $5 this whole weekend! through Sunday 17th of September 2023. This is my affiliate link: lovenotions.com/product/presto-tunic?affiliates=366

Specifics:
*Size XL
*Full bust option
*Shorter length and even hem, so it's a top and not a tunic
*Linen/rayon blend
*Extended the placket down to the hem
*Make the banded collar one piece
*Simplified the placket to be an extension of the front and not a separate piece
*Added 3 pin-tucks on each side. Marks are 1" apart and are sewn with 1/4" seam allowance.
