A fashion blog, fabric blog, couture sewing blog. A place to interpret fashion, from the inside out. Not just what we wear, but how its made, and what makes it unique. Frequently, its in the details of design and construction. A place where we can discuss how to make a perfect fashion wardrobe, using fashion fabric design draping techniques, flat sewing pattern construction and hone our couture dressmaking skills.
Spring can be bright, sunny and warm. Spring can be blustery. Spring can be cold and rainy. It seems as if it does not matter where you are, but Spring can bring the most variable weather. Spring can inspire us to sew a Summer dress, a cotton blouse, a tweed suit, or an Opera coat, a long, loose, fitting coat made using a luxurious fabric, such as this wool tapestry, with lurex (metallic threads woven throughout) for sparkle. Made in Italy and available at FineFabrics.com.
Consider making the coat using Vogue Pattern 8549. Love the collar and shoulder detail on this one. The wool tapestry has the body to support the collar, and a softness that will fall into the drape.
Think about wearing over a black velvet tank dress, or jet black cotton with a bit of lycra for stretch pant weight poplin for casual elegance.
