Hopethea Dress

This beautiful and unusual fabric has been in my stash since last summer and I have have been uncharacteristically indecisive about what to make with it. It’s a viscose crinkle cloqué that I bought from The New Craft House and as is the nature of deadstock fabric – once it’s gone, it’s gone!

It’s always very exciting when a designer you love invites you to collaborate with them and I’ve been lucky enough to work with Atelier Jupe on a few projects now. Eva and Petra got in touch recently to share some sneak peeks of their latest collection (spoiler alert – I loved EVERYTHING) and asked if I would like to sew something up prior to the launch.

Davenport dress

Patsy and I have done a fair bit of remote buddy sewing during the pandemic, but nothing beats sitting down next to each other at our machines and stitching away in the same room. It wasn’t difficult to choose the project we would work on as we had both fallen hard for the new Friday Pattern Company Davenport dress when it was released a few weeks ago.
