Welcome to my blog! I created ‘The Ravel Out’ to capture my makes while I unravel my sewing ideas, one stitch at a time.

Ravel (out)

verb

  1. unravel; untangle.

  2. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads).

Wrap It Up!

It's almost the end of the year! Woohoo!! I'm excited to present to you my latest pattern testing outfit, The Mitchell Dress by Paddle boat Patterns. The pattern comes with a dress and jumpsuit version. How cool is that?

I used a gorgeous red crinkled rayon fabric and paired the final look with a greenish necklace since the holidays are approaching fast. It's only right :-) This is definitely my pattern of the year for three reasons: Ease, Simplicity, Variety. Look at that decline too. So gorgeous!

If you are looking for an easy sew with a stylish result, this might be the pattern for you. The dress had only seven steps and it was so easy to put together I had to read the entire instructions again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

It's an interesting shaped dress, with kimono style sleeves and a wrap style. This gets rid of having to sew sleeves in or put a zipper/buttons in which can be intimidating especially for beginner sewers.
