Suvi is an easy and versatile pattern that includes two variations: a casual mini dress, and a bohemian maxi dress. Both designs have a deep V-neck, extended shoulder sleeves, and plenty of ease, which is gathered at the waist with a cord. The maxi dress also has a second waist cord, and gathered shoulders for a more elegant look. This design works well in a wide range of fabrics, and by varying the material you can make it into a relaxed everyday dress, an evening gown, or anything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSewing level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Confident beginner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(available to download immediately after purchase).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/pages\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePDF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
