Hey Coloradans! Did any of you happen to catch Megan and Generation T on Sew It All with host Ellen March Saturday morning (August 6, 2011) on your local Rocky Mountain PBS station? This was an especially poignant airing of the show since we filmed the episodes in Golden, Colorado almost a year ago!
Check with your local station to see if if they’re airing the show (and if not, request it here!).

Check it out. The Sew It All TV sizzle reel is for reals hot and sizzlin’ with cameos by some of your favorite designers, crafters, and sewists!
Host Ellen March’s guests for the first season include Suede (of Project Runway and, more recently, Simplicity patterns), Carmen Webber (also of Project Runway, and author of another T-shirt refashioning book you might know!), Kathy Cano-Murillo of the Crafty Chica blog and product line, and…well, you just might recognize a certain someone from these here parts, too (I submit exhibit A, below, into evidence).
The show is airing on PBS this spring–check with your local station to see if if they carry it (and if not, request it here!). And mark my words, there will be T-shirt Transformation, oh yes, there will be T-shirt Transformation (submitting exhibit B, below).

I’m super excited to share that I have a project in this issue of Sew It All, Volume 2. It’s on newsstands now, so I definitely recommend heading to your local fabric store, quilt shop, grocery store, or Barnes and Noble to pick up a copy (then flip, really fast, to page 80!). The issue is packed with stitching and finishing how-tos, tool and pattern reviews, plus–the best part!–50 fun, simple projects, including clothing, home decor and accessories–many of which don’t even require a pattern!
Some highlights: Linda Permann has a reverse appliqué “Plush Pillow” project on page 42; Crystal Butler shows how to make a cute “Flour Power” handbag out of a flour sack on page 76; Meream Pacayra‘s “Ribbons in Bloom” bib necklace on page 74 would be perfect to wear to any holiday party; Marian Lewis has a convertible “Towel Tote” on page 82 that I’ve got my eye on, and Sew It All editor-in-chief Ellen March shares how to make a “Gather ‘Round” convertible necklace/headband on page 88.
The project I designed combines a T-shirt and cotton bias strips (great for pairing cotton weave with stretchy knit fabrics!). It’s inspired by a top I made for Generation T: Beyond Fashion, and it”s a great starter project for timid sewists because it requires mere inches of stitching! Hope you like it.
