threadWEAR 301

If you caught this week's Facebook Live (watch on our Videos page), you saw Linda's Tyvek Tote bag. She created it for Threads Magazine - click here to get the pattern.

​If you caught Linda and Kathy's video on making a pieced Eureka Top and want to make one for yourself, we've uploaded Kathy's "map" of the patchwork size piece she made for her top. Happy sewing!

For many of us, sewing is a solitary sport practiced at home in pockets of time that we manage to carve out of our busy lives. That is what makes sewing retreats so special – uninterrupted swathes of time dedicated to the project of your choice. And when you get stuck? You have a whole host of sewing minds to help you out. Unfortunately, many of us haven't had the opportunity to sew with friends over the last year. However, Linda recently got the chance to check in on an online sewing get-together over Zoom with some longtime Sewing Workshop friends. 

The Marceau is a knit top featuring an asymmetrical collar and hem, as well as a statement sleeve with pleated detail. It's a great top for everyday casual wear, but I wondered, can it be transformed into a dress? Of course! Read on to see how I transformed the Marceau Top into a full-length dress.
