Niki the nice folds, the video tutorial!
hello! sewing pattern is the kind of thing that makes you fall in love, and I can tell that this model speaks to you in particular. La belle Niki is one of them :) This pattern is part of the SEW ME ARTY collectionI thought it would be a pillar of the fall winter wardrobe: the possibility to sew a blouse, a trapeze dress and a skater dress, in fabrics as diverse as viscose or jacquard...I really wanted Niki to be a real party! The different versions of the pattern have all in common THE detail that twists: the origami folding of the sleeve. In itself, the sewing of the pattern does not present any major difficulty: no zipper or buttoning, a line supported by clips and a belt for the skater version. It's this pretty sleeve that is the special step, and I want to detail this step perfectly so that your Niki is a marvel! The video tutorial is a perfect format to show the folding motion! 
If Niki is a pattern from the past collection, the blouse or dress version sewn in a light fabric makes it a perfect companion for spring and summer if the weather is a bit cooler. It has a scoop neckline and is unlined. The pattern is only available in a pretty pouch HERE. I chose to sew the blouse, and in a fabric with very delicate embroidered details from Meet Milk offered by Meter Meter haberdashery. Its flamboyant color caught my eye, and I'm always a big fan of this kind of fabric, which I call faux plains: the Dobby fabric from Atelier Brunette and its feathers, or the cotton viscose and its delicate gold diamonds from Eglantine and Zoé are for me part of this category. This fabric is very pleasant to wear and to sew, it is very soft!
