Looking to shake up your sewing? In this post, we look at ready-to-wear garments as inspiration for our own projects. Looking at shapes, fabrication, and details can give you ideas to create the same look, but styled by you.

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!
We know you all love the Eureka Top pattern but what about a sleeve? Variations on a pattern are so important and you can't live without this one. Adding a long sleeve makes the Eureka pattern even more versatile.
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.
