Do you want to learn how to cut out and sew with slippery fabrics?
Do you want to learn to sew a garment with beautiful French seams throughout?
Would you like to sew a beautiful robe ideal for yourself or maybe an indulgent gift for Christmas?
During our one-day workshop you will learn how to sew a beautiful robe dressing gown using the Sylvia robe pattern by Sew Over It.
The Sylvia Robe sewing pattern from Sew Over It is a beautiful layering piece and with just a few extra details, the longer version can be turned into a great dressing gown. The loose style of the robe has a very simple construction, making it perfect for anyone trying lighter weight fabrics for the first time.
If you don't want to make a full dressing gown then why not choose the shorter robe version. The stylish and comfortable Sylvia robe adds a touch of effortless charm to any outfit. It's the perfect layering piece, so whether you are relaxing in the sun and need a cover up, or pairing it with some jeans and a pretty top for a more formal date, it will take an everyday look from blah to bewitching!
The Sylvia Robe sewing pattern is available in sizes 6 to 30 (Bust 32" - 57")
Fabric recommendations include lightweight woven fabrics with lots of drape, such as rayon, viscose, georgette and lightweight crepes. For more beginner stitchers, it would also look lovely in a lightweight cotton such as lawn or voile. With minimal seams, the Sylvia Robe makes a statement with a big bold print, but looks equally lovely with a small repeat for an understated look.
