Having teenagers at home is a whirlwind of emotions! They surprise you with their energy, creativity, and ever-evolving sense of style. This fall, my son came home with a desire for a trendy high-fashion look: relaxed silhouettes and earth tones in soft wools and corduroys.

For my Fall sewing this year, I decided to make a simple dress from this Satin Dimara Multicolour print. I really liked the visual mix in this print, especially since it includes some checkerboard in there, one of my favourites. Because this fabric is so busy and also quite slippery to handle, I chose to use the Jalie Bianca, a pattern I’ve made before and really like.  » Read more about: Autumnal Patchwork Print  » The post Autumnal Patchwork Print appeared first on Fabricville Canadian Sewing Blog ..read more

The new interesting jacquard knits like this one were obvious candidates for my all-time most used pattern Jalie 3903, the Nicole dress. Here is why I love this pattern and fabric combination. Sizing and Fit  Like all Jalie patterns the sizing and fit are very much like RTW.
