Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions~The Vivace Dolman
The LN Feature Friday pattern this week is the Vivace Dolman! This is a great pattern to begin your spring sewing with. The relaxed fit makes it airy and breezy for warmer weather~ yet is also is a perfect layer underneath a cardigan for those cooler days! The V-neck and pleat elevate it from just a simple tee. You will surely want several of these in your closet!
When this pattern first released, I really didn’t think it would suit me. However, a year later I sewed one up and guess what? I loved it!! I’m usually not a huge fan of dolman sleeves, however I must say that the LN dolman sleeves patterns that I have sewn up fit me much better than any I have ever tried on. (The La Bella Donna and Melody Dolman are also favorites of mine!)

Fabric Resources
My absolute favorite fabric to sew up the Vivace Dolman top is Raspberry Creek Fabric’s rib knit. In fact it is the ONLY fabric I have sewn it up in simply because this pattern and fabric work soooo well together. One day I will try another fabric (and I will try a woven soon) but for now I’m obsessed with this pattern/fabric combo.
You can find RCF retail RCF Rib Knit HERE. You may also print any design from the Design Library onto this rib knit fabric. This is an 8 X 3 rib knit that is 92% polyester/8% spandex.
