Tutorial: Hacking Necklines with the Honeybourne Dress

It’s September which means National Sewing Month as well as Sewing Economically Month on the channel! Therefore, for the Sunday Sew Along videos in September, we’ll be tackling pattern hacking. While I’ll be using patterns from the Cashmerette “Ahead of the Curve” book, you can apply these techniques to any pattern!
