Art Gallery Rayon Inspiration

Phee Fabrics is now stocking Art Gallery Rayon. During the month of April we worked up some of the patterns listed below to show the versatility and drape of this gorgeous rayon. The reasons we love this base is:

– Rayon is abrasion resistant

– Rayon is made from natural fibers, like bamboo and beech trees and the process makes it a semi- synthetic fabric

– Rayon has a “fluid drape”, meaning that it hangs and moves in a flowy way, similar to a liquid

– Rayon is more absorbent than cotton and is cool and breathable

– Our rayon is machine washable

– Oeko-Tek certified

Woven Apparel Roundup

During the middle of October 2019 Phee Fabrics introduced Art Gallery Fabrics. As always, Phee strives for greatness and that doesn’t stop with introducing wovens. Currently there are three different bases being offered. 100% cotton woven, rayon and canvas. We will be introducing Art Gallery Cotton Jersey shortly. As well as adding to our collection. 

Using Art Gallery Cotton Woven and Rayon for clothing:

Using Graceful Bouquet in cotton to create The Washi Dress by Made By Rae

The Deer & Doe Magnolia Dress in Flowery Chant Subtle comes in a long or short version, slit or no slit, short or long sleeves. With a drafted hip measurement up to 60″.

The Luna Dress By Violette Field Threads using Powder Bloom and Femme Metale Boho

The Twig & Tale Trailblazer Vest was quilted with 2″ spacing using Dinosauria and Camouflage Pretense. Adding a reversible zipper will make this vest reversible since the lining is enclosed.

Using Delicate Balance Sienna, Delicate Balance Alabaster and Painted Prairie Anthesis to create The Violette Field Threads Pepper and the Little Lizard King Bellevue. This patterns will be featured in sew along hosted by Whitney Decker starting on December 2,2019 in the Phee Fabrics Sew Along Group on Facebook.

The Month of Free Patterns

During the month of September 2019 the team at Phee focused on free patterns. The only rules were that the pattern had to be free and utilize Phee Fabrics.

Here’s the thing, the team at Phee works extremely hard behind the scenes to bring everyone all the best of their work. Now, we know the quality at Phee is consistent, so you know what you’re going to get. Pattern designers work hard also and a lot of designers draft with their body shapes in mind and adjust the sizing based on their size block. There are very few designers that take multiple body shapes into account. One of the most challenging things for new and frustrating for experienced sewists is to adjust a pattern to their body. Dealing with an awkward fit and then comes in the concept of making a “muslin”. Typically muslin is a type of fabric but it can also be used to refer to the first one you make, a trial of sorts. Through multiple places I see people asking about using a different fabric as a “muslin”, a cheaper or different base. That will result in a different fit (be forewarned). Another thing that draws people in is FREE! The idea of getting something for free is appealing, it gives you a chance to try a pattern designer before purchasing other patterns from them. These are some of the free patterns our dedicated sewists have worked up for you.

Crystal is wearing the Halla Slim fit Dolman with the Poveglia Ribbing. She made a size 6/8 but says that it’s loose and should have made the size 2/4
Jessica is wearing the Harper Cardigan by Sinclair Patterns with the Light Gray Heathered Cozy French Terry.
Stephanie is wearing the Peg Legs from Pattern for Pirates in olive supplex
Mala is wearing the Magnolia Tee by Sonia Estep Designs in Dark Bisque Rayon Spandex. She graded from a size 22 to a size 26
Elizabeth is wearing a Durango Tank by Hey June in the 13 oz. Cherry Rayon Spandex
Addy is wearing the Verona dress by Little Lizard King in Orchid Rayon Spandex. This pattern is drafted for woven but was made in the same size. While slightly larger it will be good for layering a shirt and/or leggings underneath, as well as next spring/summer.
Joelle is wearing the Thankful top by George & Ginger. This is not available on their website and only can be found in the files of their facebook group.

The slouchy beanie was a free tutorial by Bernina
Due to the ease of the pattern and not wanting the shoulders way too wide, she made a size 8, graded to 10 waist and 6 hips. 

Removed an inch above bust and an inch above hem. Size 8 sleeve, removed .5” in the head and an inch at the short sleeve mark.
Nicole is wearing the Agnes Dress by Halla using the navy rayon spandex
