Valerie features elegantly curved raglan lines on the front and back, a fitted bodice, and an A-line skirt with slash pockets. The raglan sleeve is tailored with a dart at the shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose from four sleeve options: long sleeves gathered into a cuff, a gathered three-quarter sleeve, a plain short sleeve, or a short sleeve finished with a flounce. There are also three bust fit options (small, medium and full) to make fitting easier!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diagonals that repeat in the raglan lines and pockets are a great opportunity to play with colour-blocking, piping, or topstitching. Try a casual cotton chambray or linen for a sporty feel, or dress to impress with a stunning print or fabric with a sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e– PDF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cb\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePDF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you'll need to download the digital instructions, as we don't print these.

Look for fabrics with a good drape. Viscose\/rayons, wools, cottons, and linens are ideal. Although it is designed for non-stretch wovens, you can also use wovens with stretch. For the flounce sleeve view, only use fabrics with soft drape that will fall gently. This pattern is suitable for directional prints, but this will use more fabric. Stripes can be used, but take careful consideration of the placement on the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003eAllow extra fabric for directional prints or if lengthening the skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull, three quarter and flounce sleeve views\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 28 - 40: 114 cm (44\") wide fabric: 2.4 m (2.6 yd) \/\/ 140 cm (55\") wide fabric: 2.1 m (2.3 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 42 - 52: 114 cm (44\") wide fabric: 3.3 m (3.6 yd) \/\/ 140 cm (55\") wide fabric: 2.6 m (2.9 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShort sleeve view\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 28 - 40: 114 cm (44\") wide fabric: 2 m (2.2 yd) \/\/ 140 cm (55\") wide fabric: 1.7 m (1.9 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 42 - 52: 114 cm (44\") wide fabric: 2.9 m (3.2 yd) \/\/ 140 cm (55\") wide fabric: 2.2 m (2.4 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 – 52 (approx.

If the difference between your high bust and bust is 3″ plus (D cup plus), use full bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForget-me-not patterns are designed for a height of 5’6″ (168 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thread; 0.3 m (0.3 yd) of lightweight woven fusible interfacing; invisible zip (60 cm\/24\"); one pair of 1.3 cm (1\/2\") wide buttons (long sleeve view only); fusing tape (buy pre-made fusing tape, or cut strips of fusing along the grainline), about 1.3 cm (1\/2”) wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF pattern includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instructions; A4\/US letter print-at-home pattern (43 pages for each bust size); A0 copy shop pattern (2 sheets for each bust size); projector pattern.
