Made for Mermaids Sewing Patterns are digital downloads. You will print OR project them at home, OR send them to a copy shop to print. This is not a physical garment or pattern and nothing will be mailed to you.

Poppy is a beautiful knit pattern full of options. The front bodice has a faux placket with a fitted chest and semi-fitted waist. The neckline is hemmed and includes both a regular or low option. The 1/2 circle skirt is both quick and flattering. Choose from 5 skirt options: peplum, mini, mini with tier, dress, or a dress with tier. Plus you can add optional inseam pockets. 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.

Poppy Features:

• • Made for knit fabrics.
• • Faux button placket front.
• • 1/2 circle skirt.
• • 5 skirt options: peplum, mini length, mini with ruffle, dress, or dress with ruffle.
• • 6 sleeve options: sleeveless, short, half, long, short flutter, and long flutter.

Skill level:

• •Confident beginner- hemming the faux placket and gathering the ruffle 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, triblend, cupro, modal, rib knit, rayon spandex, bamboo lycra, ITY etc.
  • •Knits such as CL with more structure will give a fuller look while knits that have less recovery, such as rayon spandex, tend to ‘grow with wear’ and may fit looser/larger.

Notions:

• •3-5 buttons (3/4” or smaller) or snaps. You can use larger buttons as well depending on your preference.
• •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.
