We would love to introduce our intern and future fashion designer Amanda Lalite. Her sewing talent does not know limits and she goes on creating her own patterns. Here is one of her latest sewing projects on making a stylish outfit made of our stretch jacquard.
I used this beautiful Peach Silk stretch Jacquard from Elliott Berman Textiles to create a flirty matching outfit that is very comfortable and perfect for going out.
I made a racer back crop top that flares out a little and a slip-on mini skirt with pockets and no zipper. During the construction, I thought of using the reverse side of the fabric on the back of the top, inside of the pockets, and as a border at the hem of the skirt would add a great amount of contrast and contribute to the overall design.That's a technique I love to use and often seek fabrics that have a interesting "wrong" side as the contrast is always interesting to me. I believe this makes the outfit more modern and special.
The silky gloss is really beautiful and prefect for a special event or just for a day you want to feel pretty.
The one difficulty I had working with this fabric was its stretch and making sure it didn't affect the appearance of the fabric and how it lays. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the outcome of this design and love the fabric!
