Free Sewing pattern: Little girl’s ruffle collar t-shirt

by 4 Comments

Ruffled Collar Shirt by the Crafty Cupboard_thumbMelanie from The Crafty Cupboard shares a free pattern for making a little girl’s ruffle collar t-shirt with puff sleeves.  The ruffle at the neck is a sweet detail, kind of like a gathered Peter Pan collar.  Her free pattern will make shirt size 12-18 months.  If you need a different size, you can use another t-shirt pattern (or trace your child’s t-shirt to make your own) and adjust the size of the collar and puff sleeves accordingly.  Go to The Crafty Cupboard for her pattern and tute.

Learn All About Sewing Velvet Fabric

 

I’m always tempted by the pretty velvets at the fabric store.  So much texture!  And the way the fibers catch the light!  But sewing on velvet is trickier than you’d think.  That nap that lends beautiful texture also likes to slip and crawl.  That nap can also spell disaster if you cut a piece the wrong direction.  That isn’t to say you shouldn’t use buy that velvet and sew it into something gorgeous, you just need to go into your velvet sewing project prepared.  And Melissa at Melly Sews has a post that takes you step by step through sewing on velvet. 

Velvet is such a luscious fabric, especially for winter sewing projects.  Of course there are velvet Christmas sewing projects – stockings, tree skirts, santa hats – but velvet is beautiful for all winter.  Think of all the gorgeous velvet dresses, evening bags, hair accessories, even pillows and other home décor that you see all winter long. 

Melly Sews’ post gives you the tips and tricks you need to know in order for your velvet sewing project to end up a success.  There are types of projects better suited for velvets, and kinds of projects to avoid.  She describes the different types of velvet available.  And she also tells the best way to lay out and cut your pattern pieces from velvet fabric.  Her tutorial also covers marking, pressing, and of course sewing that beautiful fabric.  There’s also a video included in case that’s your preferred method for learning.

Head over to Melly Sews to learn how to sew on velvet fabric.
