Welcome! OPP is my series on sewing Other People’s Patterns. I love to sew and I love seeing all the fresh, new ideas out there in pattern making too! These ladies are talented and I want to represent their creativity in any way I can.
This month is Violette Field Threads
Violette Field Threads Pattern Company is definitely a breath of fresh air! Their style is chic and sophisticated with a healthy dose of playfulness. I love that combo!Do you love the fabric I chose? I know, a little scary… but little punk loves crabs and I just had to get it. Don’t you think she makes crabs look good?
The under skirt is a Japanese toile that matches the color tones perfectly. That’s one nice feature to this dress is the ability to use two fabrics that you can actually appreciate because you get to see big parts of them on the dress
The straps and ties are both made using each of the fabrics on either side. The low back gives it a retro feel and the flared bodice is playful and unique.
The dress came together exceptionally easy and the instructions were spot on! I made the dress up a size for longer wear , but it seems to fit her perfect right now, so just remember the pattern may run a bit small.
I usually make my own hair accessories, so this was my first time using a pattern and again, EASY! I just love this Nadine flower. The color combinations are endless. I can see it in a scarlet red for the upcoming holidays…or even black for me :)

I've just discovered your blog, and discovered Violette Field patterns as a bonus. You have some fantastic tutorials, and I've spent the evening cutting out a floor cushion - very exciting! My fav Violette Field pattern is the Adele Ruffle dress and I have a perfect knit fabric in my stash for it.

I love the bustle dress in pink with the short sleeves (fall version I think, in the pictures), and the sweetheart dress that you made (although I don't really care for sweetheart necklines, and would probably change that part.) She has some really creative stuff over there!! Thank for sharing!! :)
