crochet lace

 

Toucan

 

 

We couldn't resist this crochet lace created with yarns that just shout summer brights! Bright turquoise, orange, lime, and acid yellow combine beautifully for a tropical mood. We found some fabulous go-togethers in our current collections. Whether you choose a top or a wrap, don't miss out on the chance to add this unique fabric from Anna Sui to your summer wardrobe. Poly/nylon.

 viscose tricotine           
 
 
Wait till you get a hand on this fabric! It is soft and slightly textured which matches the print motif as well. The ragged linear design suggests a less rigid ideal than a perfectly drawn stripe. The tricotine twill contributes to a fabulous drape without being languid. And finally, don't forget that black and white is always right! Imported from France. Viscose.
 
rayon 4-way stretch               
 
We were so excited to find this stripe just in time for summer tops. The four-way stretch is substantial without being beefy. The narrow (1/16 in) even stripe is appealing and will mix and match well with solids, textures or compatible prints. Enjoy the delicious colors for your summertime wardrobe and wear them right into fall with a change to  darker coordinates. Milled for Yansi Fougel. Rayon/spandex.

Sew n Tell
with Karen S
from Salem, MA

I just finished making Vogue 1306 by Rebecca Taylor. I have sewn this pattern before and enjoy many compliments. This time I lengthened the sleeves to make this a year round top. I have some trips coming up and I know this rayon knit will travel well and take up little room in by bags. The interesting design feature in this pattern is horizontal bust darts that allow some fabric to be gathered in width to generate a very flowy comfortable fit.

 

 

 

 

 

We like the modifications to the pattern you made, you have added so much versatility.

Nice work!

 

 

 The top is made from Morning Glory Knit.
