Trendsetter - Summer styling

3 catwalk trends to sew this season

1 - CONTEMPORARY TEA DRESS

A tea dress is an easy garment for stylish days. Typically made in floral ditsy fabrics and flattering but why not give it a modern look with plain fabrics. This is a great pattern that has lots of different style options. Make yours above the knee length, midi tea length or even as a hip length top.

3 - SLEEVES WITH VOLUME

It’s definitely all about pumping up the volume when it comes to sleeves, and the bigger the better! The braceletlength flounce sleeves on this top adds some drama to this blouse along with the choice of inset sheer/lace inset stripe or fun frill.
