K4156
I’ve really enjoyed this make, working with 100% linen is a real pleasure. I love how crisply it presses under the iron and how well-behaved it is to sew. After its initial pre-wash, the fabric was surprisingly soft and feels really comfortable next to your skin. It still has all the characteristics of normal linen,…

Another M7948
I have made M7948 previously in a more formal fabric, so this time I was really looking forward to making it in a comfy every day style. I absolutely love Minerva’s Ponte Roma base cloth, it’s so soft and comfortable to wear and is a dream to sew with. This design is from their exclusive…

Another SA Hope Dress
I loved my last Style Arc Hope dress so much that I couldn’t wait to make another one, this time, however I thought I’d try a different neckline. I used the expansion pack again and opted for bodice B, which is a raglan wrap over V-neck and again I went for the statement sleeves of…

Style Arc Hope Dress
Sometimes you happen to fall in love with a make even before you’ve got to the sewing part. That was the case with this dress, as soon as I saw my gorgeous fabric, I was transported to a sun drenched beach and was picturing a flowing dress with big statement sleeves to show off the…

Another Montana Midi Dress
I absolutely loved my last Montana dress (you can read the review here https://thewheeliestitcher.co.uk/2024/02/24/style-arc-montana-midi-dress/ ) so when I was planning a dress to wear to an upcoming evening wedding reception it wasn’t difficult deciding on a pattern. The Montana dress from Style Arc is perfect because it’s so comfy to wear having such a loose…

I was envisioning a dress that could be dressed up with a jacket, or dressed down with a cardigan and then could just…
