Fashion basics in a new look
How a classic cardigan gets color now
Fashion basics in a new lookModern: the combination of gray and bright colors. The patches for the elbows you can yourself of leather remnants (as soft as possible, for example, made of goat suede) to cut: simply draw the oval shape of a patch on baking paper and transferred to the leather (Caution, do not paint on the leather side, which later see is!). Gently stitch up the leather patches with the sewing machine (to make the curves look good, always sew a piece, then leave the needle in the leather, feet up and slightly turn, feet down and sew again a piece, etc.).
How a black pants for the evening is fine
Everything shines: Sequins are high on the list of designers. Take your pants with you to the department store, there are plenty of beautiful borders to choose from. We decided on a narrow sequin trim: you need twice the side length plus about eight inches of total addition. Sew the border by hand on the two side seams. Practical: If the pants have an impact like this, you do not have to mess up the hem!
How a T-shirt turns into a little piece of art
Blotch instead of clogging - so easy to come to your individual piece: In combination with a narrow blazer, the T-shirt fits perfectly to the new rock glamor! Lightly dilute black textile dye with water. Then with a brush generously on the shirt blobging (attention: thick cardboard in the T-shirt push, so that nothing durchfärbt!) And immediately with a straw in all directions "blow". It is best if you try this technique beforehand on a piece of paper.
How a men's jacket turns into a casual oversized vest
The 80s come again and with them straight wide shoulders. Our vest does well over a white shirt blouse, it is best to wear it now unbuttoned, only with a belt at the waist closed. Here's how it works: Carefully remove both sleeves from the jacket (eg with a seam ripper) to form the basic shape of the vest. Now, by hand, stitch together the outer fabric and the lining of the armholes with large stitches so that nothing slips on the next work steps. The sleeve hole with black satin bias tape spill (there are already pre-ironed in the store). The satin scarf is bought and is stapled to the collar with only a few stitches from the inside. If you do not find a scarf, just sew it yourself: cut a strip of satin (approx. 164 cm x 38 cm incl. Seam allowances), iron the piece lengthwise, iron the seam allowances to the inside and stitch all around millimeter-wide. Then with a few stitches, sew by hand on the inside of the collar.
How to collar a plain white shirt
Boyfriend look That's the key word that you can now use on your friend's closet. You need an old men's shirt, whose collar may already be worn: remove the collar carefully from the bridge (eg with a seam separator), then close the upper seam again. For our design, we have a light gray cotton seam tape (2.5 to 3 cm) attached to the bridge, the correct position is well visible in the photo (at the level of the shoulder line). Seam tape is available in the department store, you can also take rib or satin ribbon. Double stitch the ribbon with colored stitching, then you can see the contrasting seam beautifully.
How to give a sporty hoodie glamor
Very easily: with fine sequin luster in the hood and on the elbows. All you have to do is remove the cut of the inner hood and mark the cut pieces on baking paper. Remove the shape of the elbow patches also from patches from the trade and draw on baking paper. Add 1 cm of seam allowance all the way to your cut pieces and you'll know how much material you need. Sew the individual hood parts together and fold them along the seam edge from the left. Sew on the lower edge of the neckline by hand (fold in the seam allowance first), also sew on the elbow patches by hand (sequins: department store, which is slightly elastic).
