Whilst I was scrolling IG as you do and came across a Wow Fabrics post of a beautiful floral print I fell in love with instantly. I had put myself on a self inflicted fabric ban so thought I would send a cheeky message to see if I could have some of the fabric in return for a blog- the rest is history as they say. I have signed up with an affiliated program which means I will do a blog post every month and I will earn commission if you buy any of the fabrics I shown. I’m so excited as this company ticks every box for my future sewing adventures.

Wow fabrics offer a unique service where you can select a design and it can be printed on a choice of 13 fabric types. I knew instantly that I wanted mine in Chiffon to create a floral, floaty, romantic ‘Wilder Gown by The Friday Pattern Company.’

The pattern has raglan sleeves (so no sleeve insertions) no zip or lining, due to the fluidity of this beautiful chiffon I found sewing with my Janome Air Thread overlocker the easiest way to construct, using the narrow hem function to professionally finish my dress.
For the first time I used the gathering function. This was a revelation saving
time that it would have taken doing the gathering the conventional way, of two rows of basting stitches.
The instructions encourage your to rip the rectangles of material that make up the tiers that tearing sound is like music to the ears, so satisfying!
This has to be the quickest turnaround round to date it arrived on the Thursday and I was wearing it for the knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate on the Sunday!
1. Depending how fine your fabric is you can place it onto tissue paper and use weights to cut out your fabric. If the fabric moves a lot cut one layer at the time remembering to reverse your pattern pieces for the mirror image.
2. Use a finer sewing needle and if you want to use pins add them to the seam allowances to hide any potential snags, or do what I did here and used my overlocker.
3. Use a walking foot on your sewing machine and avoid back stitching so your hungry sewing machine doesn’t try to eat the fabric.
4 . If your fabric puckers shorten your stitch length.
5. French seams are great if you want the inside to look as beautiful as the outside. I just wanted mine on!
I am a total flower girl so this fabric was perfect for me, there is however lots of choice here are a couple more of my favourites.

I’m so excited to be working with this company as they also offer a bespoke printing service of your own work. I sew to be individual but I do see a lot of the same fabric on offer. I cannot wait to use this service. Myself and Sam @purplesewing cloud have organised ‘Sew North Soirée’ 23rd May 2020 a meet up to celebrate our sewing skills. I want to design every aspect of my dress so I can’t wait to collaborate next year.
Thank you Wow Fabrics
