How much do you know, like really, deeply know, about sewing thread 🧵?
💙
Here is THICC topstitching thread and delicate, shiny rayon thread (good for embroidery/decorative applications, not seams).
💙
Turns out, there's A LOT to learn about thread, especially when it comes to thread weight and types of thread.
💙
There's a post up now (link in bio) that can help you get better at choosing thread for your next garment-sewing project. Check it out ✔️

I'm going to file this under #WCW ❣️ @zoehong is a fashion designer and fashion educator who has a really great YouTube channel.
💙
This pic is a screenshot from a vid about her design process (vid is "Watch Me Design S2: Exploring Inspiration").
💙
Anyhoo, if you are feeling stuck creatively in terms of what/how to sew, I HIGHLY suggest you check out this video. She makes a mind map, where she uses abstract concepts to inform sketches.
💙
It's so cool, guys. Her design touchstone word is "preposterous," and her design concepts explore this term in a bunch of cool ways.
💙
For example, in this pic she shows how hot air balloons inspired this concept of a parachute-y-ish gown-ish situation.
💙
I found her approach to concepting playful and filled with ease. I can't wait to try it the next time I feel stuck.
💙
Do you have a fave fashion/sewing/design YTer?

Y'all, I'm not a fan of hand sewing. I avoid it as much as I can TBH.
💙
BUT - I recognize that at certain points in the garment-making process, ya gotta go analog on that shizz.
💙
To this end, I've figured out the bare minimum number of hand stitches in which I must have basic proficiency to sew clothes. They are:
🪡 Tailors tacks
🪡 Basting
🪡 Securing thread ends
🪡 Slip stitch
🪡 Catch stitch (which is pictured here - save for later!)
💙
On La Blog there's a post on how to create these essential five stitches (link in bio). Check it out!

Ooooh, dontcha just L-O-V-E a drapey T-shirt? There's something so elevated and fashion-y about wearing a basic sewing pattern that flows over the body. Check out drapey fabric ideas for sewing the Cass T-shirt (and hacks).
💙
BTW today (Sunday 12/4) is the last day to get $5 off Cass. The clock is ticking! ⌚
