I searched through my pattern drawers, it was not there, so it must be packed away in a box! I have found a similar pattern: Kwik Sew 3330. but I will keep looking!

I was wondering if you could share the a name of the actual pattern you used for this sarong. It's such a cute one ! I'd love to make matching ones for my daughter and I.

Just found this blog and I really like it! Thanks so much !

When I was a senior in high school in 1966 I chose a pattern that was a traditional double breasted suit with three quarter length sleeves. My teacher thoroughly approved of it. It was the Jackie Kennedy Era and I updated the sleeve to a cap sleeve that Jackie made so popular. It is still my favorite sleeve and I see it making a comeback. My teacher hated it.

I broke the rules and cut out a pattern on the bias when the grain line called for a straight grain. I learned that it offers more of a shapely fit, but that the seams must be handled with utmost care (supported by a staystitch and possibly a walking foot) to keep them from looking wavy. I also learned to "rest" the garment by hanging it for a couple of days (best on a body form your size and not just a hanger) to let the bias fall and then hem it. I had to hem it again because I did not do that.

Falling in love with a fabric is my rule!!! If you do not really love the fabric, it is too easy to just let the project slide.
