As you may remember from a previous post, I suffer from a severe case of voile addiction. So when I had the opportunity to work with the gorgeous new voiles of Birch’s Flight collection, I didn’t hesitate. I decided to write a tutorial on the pleating technique I used before, and I was on such a roll, that I came up with two more techniques.
The fabrics are on their way to stores in the US as we speak, and they will hit European stores later. The voiles are amazing to work with, and perfect for Spring/Summer garments. In addition to the three colors I used (Dust, Mineral, and Paprika), they also come in grey (“River Rock“).
You can find all three tutorials here. In the next three days, I’ll be sharing some more pictures of the three dresses, starting with the Hanami dress today.
Fabric: Birch Flight Voile in Mineral
Pattern: Hanami
Pleating technique: Origami Path
Absolutely love this! Will try this for sure! :))
Wow, dank je wel, An! Ik ga dit zeker eens proberen! En jij kiest altijd zo'n mooie stofjes!
All of those tutorials are great. I can see this working on so many of the downloadable patterns online.
Love these fabrics… And your daughter is looking so grown up!
You're so right about voile. I made beautiful things out of it for my daughter when I was first starting out sewing… the fabric is perfect for warm weather play. I will look out for these new designs.
As Monica said, Nora has turned from cute munchkin into a beautiful little girl (and still cute!). Another reminder that time passes.
amazing tutorials, An, and so generous of you to take the time to write them! what a fun and unique technique!
An, can't wait to try out these tutorials! Thank you!

Oh my gosh, that fabric is so precious. I'm such a sucker for bird anythings. Thank you for the tutorials.
Thanks, Marianna! And you're so right about time passing. It's often only when I see the pictures that I realize how much she's growing up…
Thanks, Rachel 🙂 I had so much fun making the tutorials!
She is, isn't she? Quite confronting, these pictures…
