Have you seen the latest Megan Nielsen Karri Dress sewing pattern? It's a multi paneled dress with distinctive style lines, and as you can see from the photographs, this pattern is perfect for using up scraps of coordinating or contrasting fabrics, because of the small pattern pieces. But it is equally as striking and beautiful made up with just one fabric.

The pattern is suitable for intermediate sewists. Recommended fabrics for the pattern are light to medium weight dress fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen, denim, chambray, silk etc. Try a light denim, a linen/cotton chambray, a Robert Kaufmann cotton chambray, or a Michael Miller Clipdot embroidered cotton lawn. The Atelier Brunette cambrics  would also make beautiful dresses: [caption id="attachment_1432" align="alignright" width="630"]Atelier Brunette fabric Atelier Brunette fabrics would make a stunning Karri dress.

The design sits just below the natural waistline, features a modern fit, two lengths and a full lining. The shorts have curved patch pockets and the skort has slash pockets. It combines the comfort of shorts with the appearance of a skirt. Recommended fabrics for these styles are medium weight fabrics such as denim, twill, poplin, broadcloth, linen, linen blends, suiting, gabardine, pique and wool blends.
