What’s Patricia wearing?
Tuesday, October 28th, 2014
Meet Patricia (she doesn’t like it shortened to Pat!) our Sassy mannequin. Patricia doesn’t say much but she does get to wear all sorts of lovely clothes to showcase our fabrics and patterns. So what has she donned today we ask?
First off is a lovely little top made from a McCalls pattern – number M6968. It may be winter outside but here at Sassy HQ the sun is always shining (OK, we’ve got the radiators running) so she’s gone for a strappy number. It’s made from 100% cotton in plain dusky pink (we have a full range of plain colours in stock) and has nice detailing with the multi-coloured buttons, which really brightens up the whole thing. Clever Christina who made the top lined it with fabric she bought from Ikea ages ago, which gives it a real retro look. She also made the longer version of the top to maintain Patricia’s dignity!
Her bottom half is covered up with something made by yours truly. Its a Miette skirt designed by Tilly Walnes from Tilly and the Buttons fame. It’s a very easy wrap around affair that ties at the front, is slightly flared and has two pockets (optional). This version is made from 100% cotton with tiny cars on it. We’ve sold out of this fabric already but have got lots of other printed cottons that would suit it just as well. Maybe one made with flamingo or origami patterned fabric would look fab? I’ve seen this made in all sorts of fabric with all sorts of patterns and it really is a design that suits just about anything. The pattern is glorious – all full colour with easy to follow instruction. Suitable for all levels of sewer (that’s someone who sews of course, not a drain…just thought I’d mention it) and a really classy make.
A very useful sewing site
