Sew Essential Box - November 2022
Elodie is a modern take on a classic wrap dress. Romantic and flowy with multiple skirt and sleeve options, it's equally appropriate at a park picnic or a special wedding. Elodie features a softly flowing bodice, with release pleats under the bust and a dolman style sleeve. Choose between a short sleeve or a longer, more formal option that ends at the elbow. The skirt is swishy and voluminous and comes in three lengths, above the knee, midi or maxi, with optional patch pockets. *Note, this box contains enough fabric to make the midi length dress only* More...

- Pimpinella Ditsy Floral Crepe de Chine - This fabric, a silky crepe de chine, is all about the pattern. A deep red background is covered in ditsy cream and light red floral clusters for a look that is evocative of the holidays without being actual poinsettias and holly and the ivy. The fabric is light and thin, with a fluid drape that will add flutter to the sleeves and swish to the skirt of this dress. We dare you not to twirl when you put it on!
- Bottle Green Satin - A crepe backed satin, this fabric is silky and shimmery, like gorgeous silk, but without the temperamental nature. Medium weight, with nice body for a satin, it is heavy enough for a winter dress, but light enough to stay flowing and soft for this dresses shape. And then there is the color. A deep, earthy green, it's the color of emerald and pine trees rolled into one, and it's ideal for the holiday season. A stunning fabric for a gorgeous dress!
- Sepia Petunias Rayon Challis - If you're looking for a more neutral tone for your dress, this fabric is just the one. The substrate is our favorite rayon poplin, with its tight weave and dramatic, flowing drape. Paired with a subtle and wintery floral, like dried, pressed flowers on a black background, and you have the makings of gorgeous party dress. A little less glam than the other two options, while still retaining all the sway and drape of its compatriots, this fabric is perfect for a dress you'll wear all season long, not just to the fanciest of occasions. Sounds good, right?
