Hi Everyone! With Christmas only a few short weeks away, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at wraps. Instead of wrapped packages, however, we will explore the topic of wrapped garments. To help get you started, we have a special Christmas gift for you – a brand new pattern from Thimbles and Acorns!
“The Silk Road” is a unique double-wrapped dress pattern that was inspired by an ancient Chinese design and will only be available to Sewing with Cinnamon subscribers through the month of December. It is a quick and easy pattern to sew that lends itself well to adaptation, making it a great project for holiday gift-giving.
For this topic, I'm excited to announce that Shari Fuller, the designer of the Thimbles and Acorns brand, will be my co-host! This week, she will walk you through the pattern with a sew-along video and over the next couple of weeks Shari and I will each share a fun pattern hack to help get your creative juices flowing. We are really excited to see all of your projects!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
(The announcement video posted in the SWC Facebook Group):
The topic will be divided into four sessions:
- Part 1: Sew Along For The Silk Road Dress

It's going to be a fun course! Are you ready? Let's go...

That you SO much Shari for your generosity in sharing this super cute pattern with us. I totally agree with all previous comments about your talent and expertise.
I have had the privilege of downloading your patterns from Freebie Friday, Sewing with Cinnamon, and buying others. They are all so well designed and attention given to detail, as well as explicit instructions and great fit.
I also want to thank Shari, Cinnamon, and the whole Pixie Faire team for all you do for us and others (SewPowerful). I’m so proud to be a small part of this terrific happy sewing family.
I am looking forward to seeing what everyone makes with this pattern. Merry Christmas everyone!
