Maker Showcase: Know Me 2016
This pattern is one that makers consistently say lives up to the hype! Time and again, we hear stories of how enjoyable it is to sew and how beautifully it comes together. What’s even more exciting is seeing our creative community take this design and truly make it their own. From bold, statement prints to soft, understated solids, every version reflects the personality and style of its maker. Many have gone on to make it more than once—proof of its versatility and charm. In this blog, we’re celebrating some of these fantastic creations and the talented hands that brought them to life.
The pattern Know Me 2016 is a dress design by Beaute J’Adore with a high round neckline, a bodice with bust darts and a shaped waist line. It features shaped tiers with gathers at the front with slant pockets. It is finished with a zipper at the centre back. Choose between voluminous sleeves that finish above the wrist or sleeves with elastic at the wrist. This pattern is designed for woven fabrics.
