Poppy is a knit pattern full of options. The hemmed neckline has a front faux placket. The 1/2 circle skirt is both quick and fun. Choose from 4 skirt options: peplum, vintage, dress, or a dress with ruffle. Also includes a precious bubble romper with elastic legs and a snap placket. Perfect for year-round wear with 6 sleeves: sleeveless, short, half, long, a short flutter, or long flutter. The sleeveless option is finished with knit bands. Poppy will be your new go-to for spring events, holidays, or everyday wear.

Skill level:

• •Confident beginner- hemming the faux placket, gathering the ruffle or romper option, adding elastic and the snap placket may be more difficult for a beginner sewist.

Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit.
• •Drafted for light to medium weight knits with at least 40% stretch, good recovery, and good drape.
  • •Double brushed poly, cotton lycra, liverpool, triblend, cupro, modal, rib knit, ITY etc.
  • •Knits that have less recovery, such as rayon spandex, tend to ‘grow with wear’ and may fit looser/larger.
• •For Bubble Romper I recommend fabrics with more structure and weight such as cotton lycra to give a better “bubble” look.

Notions:

• •3-5 buttons (3/4” or smaller) or snaps. You can use larger buttons as well depending on your preference.
• •Romper Option- 3/8″ or 1/4″ elastic, a small scrap of fusible interfacing, 2-3 snaps or snap tape.
• •Optional- A stabilizer for the waist seam – you may use 1″ knit interfacing or clear or knit elastic (3/8″ or 1/2″) to stabilize the seams. My preference for this pattern is 1″ fusible knit stay tape. Optional Interfacing for functioning buttons.
• •Optional – Wash away hem tape.
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ball point, stretch, or jersey needle. Knit twin needle optional. Optional – Wash away hem tape.
