The Below Zero Top from George and Ginger

The Below Zero Top, a cozy off-shoulder dolman-style sweater sewing pattern designed by George And Ginger Patterns, caught my attention. Its versatility allows for mixing fabrics or achieving a timeless, classic look. The recommended fabric for this pattern is a sweater knit with 50% stretch.

Recently, I embarked on my first Below Zero Top project, and I fell in love with the off-shoulder style. For this creation, I chose a delightful stripe scuba fabric from ABC Fabric—it was an absolute joy to sew with! I’m already planning to add more Below Zero tops to my wardrobe. 🧵👚

The Ariana Dress from Designer Stitch Patterns

I almost forgot to share my Ariana Dress that I made as a two piece from Designer Stitch, so now I can mix it up and wear the top with trousers. I love being able to wear a pattern in more than 1 way. All I did was line the waistband and turn the skirt waist over and secured with a few stitches as I used scuba the stretch and recovery is great and these sleeves are just amazing!

I love how versatile the Cross Over dress pattern is, instead of a full dress I made it into separate items, now I have a top and skirt that looks like a dress. I added a waistband to the top and skirt. The free Curved Hem tank top also pairs great with the skirt.
