Welcome to Sewing Pattern Dress Zoe<\/a> Sewalong!\u00a0 Today we start with some thoughts on your choice of fabric and with all the material and “equipment” you will need to sew dress Zoe<\/a>. Then we\u2019ll be giving you one week to pick out your fabric and gather your supplies.<\/p>\n As written in the description Dress Zoe<\/a> has two different sleeves and a Peter Pan collar variations that you also can leave out. By choosing one version you determine the style the style of your dress. If you decide to sew the version with short sleeves and Peter Pan collar, your dress will rather\u00a0 be a playful, romantic dress. However, by choosing dark fabrics or fabrics with large patterns you may again break this style and even this version becomes a little bit more classic. The cuff sleeves and a sheer neckline without collar on the other hand will give your dress a more casual touch.<\/p>\n So, first you should you decide which dress version you want to sew and then it’s on fabric search.<\/p>\n For the dress Zoe you’ll need the following:<\/p>\n Fabric (width 140cm): fusible intefacing 90 cm x 100 cm, if you want to sew dress Zoe with long sleeves and french cuffs and with collar<\/p>\n thread<\/p>\n a 60 cm long dresses zipper or a so-called seam zipper for which you need a special presser foot<\/p>\n As recommended fabric I listed cotton, linen, lightweight wool or viscose fabrics. The fabric should in any case not be too stiff, but on the other hand not too loose.\u00a0 The fusible interfacing you may need for the cuffs, the collar and the neckhole BELEGE and makes your fabric sturdier. Thickness and color depends on the fabrics you use.<\/p>\n Choosing a fabric the color and pattern are of course entirely up to your taste. However, keep the pin tucks in the bodice in mind. It’s easier to sew Zoe with single-coloured or small patterned fabrics. If you sew the french cuffs and collar you can also consider to use contrasting colours for these…<\/p>\n For my part I’ve checked my fabric range (which I definetely have to reduce step by step …) and picked a blue linen fabric with unregular white lines. I will sew the dress without a collar with cuffed sleeves. I think this will be a nice autumn dress!<\/p>\n Here are a few different fabric options I\u2019ve come across during my online window shopping and that I would like to have ALL and dress all autumn in different Zoes….<\/p>\n From Up to Down and Left to Right:<\/p>\n Stoffb\u00fcro:<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n Bl\u00fcmchen hellblau BIO <\/a>– Michael Miller \u2013 Cascade orange <\/a>– Dobby uni t\u00fcrkis <\/a>– Nani IRO sen ritsu<\/a><\/p>\n Stoff & Co<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Candy Flake<\/a> \u2013 Cosmic Blue<\/a> \u2013 Dottie Grey<\/a> \u2013 Shine Green<\/a><\/p>\n Das Blaue Tuch<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstraktes Blaues Muster<\/a> \u2013 Bunte Kreise auf Beige<\/a> \u2013 Japanisches Tuch<\/a> \u2013 P\u00fcnktchen pink auf lila<\/a><\/p>\n Stoffsalon Wien<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Chambray Black<\/a> \u2013 Nani IRO Hering Bone Pencil<\/a> \u2013 Nani IRO Joy Flower Smile<\/a> \u2013 Biobaumwolle Scribbles<\/a><\/p>\n stoffe meyer<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Crosshatch<\/a> \u2013 Leinen Crash Orange<\/a> \u2013 Leinen Crash T\u00fcrkis <\/a>– Novella Rain<\/a><\/p>\n Now you only need your sewing machine – a standard sewing machine is doing wonderfully well – and yet some other “equipment”.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
