Spring Sewing, a 3-Piece Outfit
Jalie's Helene Cardigan 3677 topping Jalie's Dolman 3352 and Jalie's Vanessa 3676
My sewing room is my happy place, and this outfit shows the results.
The fabrics are from Fabricville, and I’ll be writing a review within the next week or so. Both the Cardigan and Dolman are sewn with a VERY thin mesh and the Vanessa pants are a hefty “bottom-weight”.
Both fabrics were “difficult” to work with and presented a quite a few challenges. Fusibles to the rescue. And the results are awesome, even if I do say so myself.
As soon the the review on Fabricville’s Blog is published, I’ll write more here.
I will be interested in how you used the mesh. I have sewn sleeves out of the mesh without lining, but made a self drafted top with a complementary coloured knit below the mesh bodice and it is one of my favorite tops--even though the mesh fabric was a wild orange/turquoise/white/black print! Fabricville's mesh is so soft on the skin.
I just answered the question on your post about what the print wanted to be as the dolman! I love that pattern. Which cardigan is that?
