Hot! MTL: Make Fleur Own Music Dress

posted June 17, 2011 / 2 Comments

For this week's newsletter*, I introduced the Make This Look feature. Here's what I wrote:

Make This Look aims to break down ready-to-wear looks into bitesize sewable inspirations. Whether it's a cure for sewer's block, a way to create something that will actually fit just right or simply a way not to spend $200 on a mass-produced slip-dress, Make This Look is meant to embrace the slow clothes movement.

If you're a Tumblr user, you can follow Make This Look over at makethislook.com. If you're not, don't worry, this feature will remain part of The Sew Weekly. If you've seen a look that you would like The Sew Weekly to give the MTL treatment, drop us a line with a link to the original garment.

*Yes, there's a Sew Weekly email newsletter that attempts to be a weekly mailing. In it, I reveal next week's theme, feature community creations and write about something happening that week. You can subscribe over here.

Onto today's MTL!

    I’m a RSS follower but I wanted to come over to tell you how much I’m loving the Make This Look features. It helps me show others that starting to make your own clothes doesn’t mean you start wearing prairie dresses and 70′s pantsuits. Thanks!
