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

Shari, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your talent and expertise. I didn’t have a boy doll back when you gave us the George Washington pattern but now I do. I received so many of your patterns on Freebie Friday and I have really enjoyed your sewing tips and expertise in the last several months during your SWC instruction. Have a joyous holiday season and a blessed and fruitful 2020.
