I have a confession. I really, really like StyleARC‘s jersey dress patterns. Like this Slip-on Suzie I made at Sewjourn.
We were going to have a group sew of the Slip-on Suzie, but I think that I was the only one who got it made! At least the others had the chance to try mine on for size, and get an idea of what size and/or alterations would fit them best. This is a size 12, shortened a little through the body to allow for my short torso. I really love the fabric. It’s not terribly stretchy, but has such terrific colour and texture.
I suspect that it came from Darn Cheap Fabrics – it’s been in my stash for a little while. And it’s not all used up yet! It’s a little sheer, so needs a slip or leggings underneath. It was super easy to make, is a current style, and I think an all-around winner! It’s been worn a few times already.
My Milly dress has also been on high rotation. There are some other StyleARC stretch fabric dresses I fancy too, especially the Marita, Paula, Danni and Jessica (not that I have any of those patterns – yet). I love layering dresses with leggings or tights, boots, a cardi or jacket, and a scarf for winter.
You are a sewing MACHINE (she says, jealously!).
I like that one! And as for leggings, I love them – The fashionable(ish) answer to long johns!
I love Stylearc patterns too but only have the Abby cardi and peta pants patterns. I will definitely be buying more though. Nice fabric – looks a bit missoni-ish.
