How many of us have found ourselves craving an easy project that scratches the sewing itch? It needs to take a day max, with a forgiving non-tailored fit, that you can wear as soon as it’s finished. It needs to have a “look good” guarantee, with a rewarding payoff that is as close to instant gratification as possible when sewing a garment. Enter our ever popular Fleur Robe. With the release of our new Mood Exclusive Gisele Collection, which features warm toned paisley motifs and florals, sewing a robe that could be worn out and at home as summer turns to fall was a no-brainer!
This week’s wide sleeve redux is quick and easy, and only takes a few minutes to complete. It’s perfect for beginners who want to try their hand at an easy pattern hacking project!
