The SPIRAL design includes dress and blouse variations with wavy pintucks at the front and back for a sense of movement and detail. The pintucks can be pressed flat for a sleek look or cross-stitched for a sculptural effect. Delicate pintucks on the cuffs add a refined touch, while a small double yoke shapes the shoulders. You’ll learn pintuck techniques that will bring unique character to your handmade pieces. A slit at the back neckline, closed with a hook or button, makes dressing easy. Choose between blouse and dress lengths – the dress version also includes side seam pockets for everyday practicality.

Fabric Recommendations:
Choose a light to medium-light woven fabric such as batiste, crêpe, voile, or any other lightweight cotton. Poplins are also a great choice, as they help maintain the structure of the pintucks. For best results, opt for fabrics that are not too drapey — this will make it much easier to prepare and sew the tucks.

The blouse sample is made in “Pure Solids” poplin in the colour PE438 Coral Reef (100% cotton, 3.69 oz/125 gsm). The dress sample is made in “Wildflower Wovens” in the colour WWOV3012 Dots in Bluebell (100% cotton, 3.69 oz/125 gsm). Both fabrics by Art Gallery Fabrics.
