The Woolpatch's video: The Thimble Dress Modelling Ep5 Sew What - A conversational sewing podcast show

Topics covered in this conversational episode: +Thimble and it's importance +Dress Modelling On our fundamentals chat we go right back to basics and talk about the thimble. Carol shows off her own project based on a dress she was inspired by. Before even thinking of draughting a pattern she models it on the mannequin with calico. A technique called 'Dress Modelling'. We also talk about the covered fabric button that I have to sew onto my Baker Boy Cap.

What are you sewing? Do you have questions on something specific? Would you like some guidance on something you are doing for the first time? We would love to hear from you and we will add this to our conversation and see how it develops each week. Let us know in the comments of any of these videos and we'll discuss them the following week. We'd love to hear what you are making and how you are getting on. The beauty of this show is we are all learning together and we are all at different levels of skills. I'm very much a beginner dressmaker and Carol is an expert with a wealth of knowledge to impart, so hopefully there will be content for many of you out there no mater what skill level and experience. Come learn with us, or just have us on in the background whilst you're sewing! We'd love you to join us.
