Time to see what's new in Plush Addict this month:
- Sew Over It Eve Dress. I made this a couple of months ago and I really loved the result. The bodice fitted well and the flutter sleeves look great and are so comfortable to wear on a hot day. It's a dress that can easily become be worn at a special occasion with the right fabric, or an everyday summer dress. It needs drapey fabric to work at it's best. Plush Addict has just started stocking Sew Over It patterns and there's a wide selection.
- Dashwood Viscose Rayon: Pink Floral on Grey. This gorgeous floral would make a beautiful Eve dress. It's got the drape and the multi-directional pattern prevents fabric wastage when cutting out. It needs gentle prewashing and I would suggest the raw edges are overlocked before putting in the machine at 30. Sharp pins and a new machine needle are a good idea when working with viscose.
- Patterns By Annie Clam-Up. There are quite a few Patterns by Annie to choose from at Plush Addict and I chose this one as I hadn't seen it before and it looked like a good pattern for gifts or swaps. I particularly like the side panels to stop items falling out and all the different sizes. There's also an option to include a wipe-clean vinyl interior for a cosmetic bag. Annie's patterns are well thought out with lots of extra details, she's a designer that loves adding all the storage options!
- Japanese Import Oxford Cloth Katusbi Apples. This is a cotton/linen 80/20 blend and the fabric weight is perfect for cushions and bags. This print is crying out to become a grocery bag! Free shopper's tote download here and a Kwik Sew pattern here.
