Christmas is upon us and though I’m not completely ready…I will be dressed for it! I love this time of year because you can bring out all that glitters and sparkles and shines. And Fabricville has lots of it this year!! My favs…. all the velvet<\/a>…. the faux fur<\/a> and the cozy Christmas flannelette<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also fell in love with the brocades…especially this deep red and taupe one<\/a>. The color is gorgeous! I decided that because things are pretty busy at this time of year I would be easy on myself and I chose a coat pattern that is unlined. It is more of a dress coat anyway…with the three quarter length sleeves…. so if it’s cold, I will wear it under my winter coat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I wanted a “vintagy” looking swing coat and I think that this one delivers. Especially with the three quarter length flared sleeves. I used Newlook 6162 which is nice but…. hindsight being what it is….I think I think I would have gone with a pattern with less seaming. Vogue 9123<\/a>\u00a0 would have given a nice sleek look and allow the fabric to shine as well. If you are a little more organized than I am and have a bit more time, I think Vogue 1537<\/a> is gorgeous! And anyone of the Sadie brocades<\/a> would be beautiful in it.<\/p>\n

\"creatinginthegap\"<\/p>\n

As I walked around Fabricville with the brocade in hand I spotted this pleated foil knit that I can’t seem to find online but if you are in-store….get some! It is the perfect weight for a simple knit holiday dress. (Not to mention, it matches the brocade perfectly!)<\/p>\n

\"creatinginthegap\"<\/p>\n

Continuing with my theme of simplicity, I used Vogue 8278. This dress is so simple that you could make it in a couple of hours! It is basically a long dolman sleeve t-shirt. The fabric was so easy to work with too. I think it would work particularly well in a cowl neck. It drapes so beautifully.<\/p>\n

Since the pattern I used is again out-of-print, I thought I would share some alternative patterns that I think would look great.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

McCalls 7465<\/a> is a pattern I have made before and is another super simple make. I think view B with the cowl neck and longer sleeves would be really pretty. I haven’t made McCalls 7622<\/a> but am kinda wishing I had made view F with this foil knit. I love the sleek sleeves with the swingy dress!<\/p>\n

\"creatinginthegap\"<\/p>\n

So hopefully I have convinced you or at the very least encouraged you to sew something special for the holidays. There is still lots of time and when you pair a beautiful fabric with a simple pattern, it’s even more attainable.<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays and Happy Sewing!!<\/p>\n
