The Antero Shell pattern is easily our favorite go-to top pattern, and we also love how adaptable it is! In this mini-series, Style Revive: Antero Shell Hacks, Meg Healy takes you through five different modifications that you can do to the pattern to make it look completely different. She even shows you how to draft the hacks directly on your fabric so you don’t need a ton of extra paper.
Pattern hacking is such a useful skill to know, and once you get the hang of it you can utilize these hacks on even more patterns! The idea of modifying a pattern for style is to not alter the fit, so once you determine your size you just use that as your base. The Antero Shell is a step up from your classic T-shirt and is the perfect wardrobe staple – so when hacked to be a dress, button up, and even a tank, you are just adding to your closet essentials.
In each episode of this mini-series, Meg will guide you through the drafting process as well as how to transfer the pattern to a more durable template so you can cut it out again and again. The pattern PDF is included as well as sewing step by step handouts and drafting references. So, if you enjoyed the sustainable sewing theme of season 1 of Style Revive, then you will love this fun and engaging “hack-along”!
