| Vogue 8634 -A Pattern Review Top 10 Pattern for 2010 |
Even though I've been back from Sydney for ages now, I've still got a few blog posts to write that relate to that trip.
Whilst in
Tessuti's at Surry Hills, this fabric jumped off the shelf and grabbed me around the legs - it pleaded and pleaded to come home with me ... what could I do? It was causing an embarrassing scene in the lovely shop ... so home it came ...... this is an amazing fabric (aren't they all??) well, it's a substantial weight - but with a super soft handle - it has a double layer - the outside layer is textured and wrinkly and the inside is just smooth - hello MARS RED! So I introduced Miss Mars to Vogue 8634.
I lengthened the top design to dress length and took out the seam under the bust (well, everyone else did too). It looks OK without the belt - but probably better with a belt. I also narrowed the sleeves down to the wrist to be a little more snug. This is a great pattern - comfortable and warm. I couldn't see this fabric on their online shop - but I phoned the Surry Hills store to get some more and their Chatswood store had 2 other colours - just too good I keep tellin' ya!!!
So, did I buy anything else from Tessuti's? ..... Well, would you have walked away from this???
Rosa Rose - Stretch fine Rayon/Elastane printed jersey. And here it is in the Bella Wrap from
Style Arc.
Super easy to make - I'm sure this wrap will get lots of use.
