One of the number one sewing questions I get from beginners is What pattern do you recommend? My number one answer is always Vogue 8840 view A, it’s a pattern with only two pieces and insanely simple but yet very versatile and because I’m a fan of clean lines, this is right up my alley. This was one of the first patterns I ever purchased and have made everything from dresses to sweaters, crop tops and now coats.This dress was made using this heavy weight ponte from moodfabrics.com
This jacket was made using a camel angora wool by Theory from moodfabrics.com with product number #304878
