Sewing planning: Fibre Mood #11; heaven dress
This fall the fabrics to sew are these great textured fabrics; rib, corduroy, broderie and these beautiful knits. When I saw these big knits, I knew I had to sew with them. I wanted to make a sweater that would show of the lines of the knitted fabric. When I saw this dress I loved the sleeves and I really want to see how the lines will end up in the garment.

Talk about a head-turner! With it's figure hugging shape and statement sleeves, Heaven is sure to make you stand out in a crowd. The princess seams and invisible side zip give it the perfect fit. The neckline and top of the sleeves create a striking trapezium, which is a lovely contrast with the sleeves’ puffed wrists. The only thing left to do is dazzle in your handmade dress.
Heaven looks best in heavier, more structured fabrics. Anything to thin or fluid will be difficult to shape properly. Tencel and cotton (denim or poplin, for example) all work wonderfully.
