"Royal Christmas" "Penelope" by Violette Field Threads, Sewn by Stephanie Dabbs of Little Bean's Shoppe

There is an elegance & class that happens when a bit of shine is added to the finish of a fabric, creating a soft finish sheen. Stephanie Dabbs of @littlebeansshoppe showcased that effect with a one-fabric, all-over look using our Royal Sheen Sateen with a royal silk organza for the skirt overlay and sash. Stephanie used the PDF Violette Field Threads "Penelope" and then "went to town"! Stephanie measured up both sides of the bodice the distance that she wanted the Criss-cross part to rise under the arms, then picked a point offset to one side for the angles to meet. Then she cut 1" strips, sewed them together and added piping. Then she laid it on top of the bodice & stitched it down! The origami sleeve pattern is Peony Patterns "Sweet Pea". So stunning!
