Pattern Review – Vogue 8871 in Aqua Haven Ponti
September 7, 2015
 |
Nothing like the arrival of spring fabrics and spring weather (sorry Melbourne, we know you’re still waiting on the latter) to get us thinking floral. Georgia (a ponti knit fan from waaaay back) couldn’t wait to finally give Vogue 8871 (view A) a go.
She chose one of our new Italian printed ponti knits – Aqua Haven. It’s a perfect pattern/fabric match as well as being a speedy sewing project.
The only changes she made to the pattern were to add her favoured detail of self binding to the neckline, sleeves and dress hem.
This fabric – in addition to whole lot of other gorgeous pontis – is now available all stores and online.

That fabric certainly does say summer. Beautiful shape in the cut. And yes, still waiting for the sun to shine in Melbourne!
This dress in in my sewing list. Looks gorgeous.
Beautiful dress which fits perfectly.
Ooh, I bought one of the other pontis. Now I think I made the wrong choice. Gorgeous dress Georgia!
