Using patterned fabric isn't hard, but you may need extra yardage (more than the bare minimum to fit the pieces on) so you can match the patterns. Also make sure you keep the front and back pieces going the same direction so you don't have the pattern upside down on one side!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-55865235753661627202014-04-25T23:26:18.720-07:002014-04-25T23:26:18.720-07:00Looks great!

I'm a beginner sewer and blogger from the UK. I've just booked to attend a sewing day with Chinelo, a runner up on the latest series of "The Great British Sewing Bee". I'd like to use patterned fabric for the garment I'll be making on the day (a peplum top), but I have never worked with anything but plain fabric before and I'm scared! I'd love to hear your advice on selecting patterned fabric. thanks in advance, Vicki.Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-90001153596627634752014-04-09T17:10:08.339-07:002014-04-09T17:10:08.339-07:00Great job.

The fit of that slipcover is phenomenal.Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-72691289870128746772014-04-09T17:09:26.859-07:002014-04-09T17:09:26.859-07:00Impressive!!Impressive!!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-55251746830259702992014-04-09T08:01:52.785-07:002014-04-09T08:01:52.785-07:00Yes, Gorgeous.
