Recommended Fabric + Supplies
Fabric
The Ivy Dress + Top is designed for light - medium weight woven fabrics such as linen, cotton and silk. We love how this pattern looks and feels in our Vintage Finish and Gingham Linens. For a pop of colour, you could also try a Liberty cotton print!
Interfacing
Interfacing is recommended for both cuff options and also for the collar pieces if you are sewing the Peter Pan Collar or Tie Back Collar. The neck facings for all views will also require interfacing. Select a woven interfacing in a weight appropriate for the fabric you are using.
Thread
You will need at least one spool of thread for straight stitching, and 4 additional threads if you choose to overlock or serge the exposed interior seams.
Buttons
If you are sewing the Peter Pan Collar or Round Neck you will need 1 x 12mm button for the back neck closure. If you are sewing the full length sleeve option with Button Cuff you will need an additional 2 x 12mm buttons.
Tools
The Ivy can be completed with a regular domestic sewing machine, with zig zag stitch capability and buttonhole function. If desired, you can finish/neaten interior exposed seams with an overlocker/serger.
You will also require an iron, a point turner, a sharp pair of sewing scissors and pins.
