Learn designer secrets for manipulating a pattern. In One Pattern Many Ways with Angela Wolf, Vol. 2, this popular sewing instructor shows you how to get the most from her new Evelyn Dress and Jacket pattern. And she invites you to follow along and do the same.

One pattern...countless interpretations. Angela starts with a favorite pattern and then walks you through some of the techniques she uses to change it up to produce a variety of different looks. Some are very simple modifications like changing the neckline. Others are totally transformational, such as reshaping the top and turning it into an asymmetrical vest. And here are just a few you might like to try:

Adding a fabric overlay or shadowing
Manipulating darts to modify the shape
Exposing zippers for an edgy look
Adding pockets, belts, and trim
And lots of imaginative embellishments!
