Kwik Sew 3670
As with Burda, I rarely buy Kwik Sew patterns. I really should give both pattern companies more of a chance! I first saw Kwik Sew 3670 on someone’s blog (cannot remember where) and was attracted to the unusual front drape feature and the lack of zips, buttons or other fastenings.
This is view A, tunic length with elbow length sleeves. It was really very simple to assemble, with cut on facings on the front and binding on the back neckline. It’s only four main pattern pieces – front, back, front yoke/sleeves, back yoke/sleeves – plus one for the back neck and one for the sleeve bindings. There are some inset seams at the corners of the yoke/sleeve/body pieces, but if you take it slowly and follow the instructions, it comes together beautifully.
The fabric is Anna Maria Horner’s voile, yet again, although this one is from the Little Folks range. Very pretty. It’s a fairly roomy pattern – I made the medium, which I am happy with, but possibly could have got away with making a small. Kwik Sew, I’m going to check through your offerings more often from now on!
Maybe I’ll wear it at Sew It Together in Sydney this weekend! My bags are packed and I’m ready to go….
Very nice!
Looks great. I’ve used this pattern too but the shorter version. I like the tunic length.
It looked great Lara! Love that fabric too, oh I love all AMH stuff, I feel a shopping spree coming on. Take Care.
I just love your style .I do wish I could sew.For me straight lines and having my thread knot up on the sewing machine was too much.Your choice of colors and loose style is great.Keep up the wonderful work.
You looked lovely in this. It was great to meet you at SIT and I hope you enjoyed the rest of the weekend…
Can’t wait to hear all about your weekend Lara!
This looked great Lara – love, love, love that colour!
It would have been comfortable for singing and dancing in too don’t you think? Thanks for a great weekend and for being a very easy-to-live-with roomie.
Beautiful fabric – perfect for that pattern. I would never have looked at the pattern flicking through a pattern book – but I mightb check it out after seeing yours.
