Marfy Pattern Challenge

Sew a Garment Using a Marfy Pattern. The Marfy pattern challenge was a great success, and students are so pleased with their garments. They cannot wait to make another one, and many of the students have already chosen their next pattern. If you missed joining in on this challenge, just talk to Jane and she can help you get started on your Marfy garment. Marfy patterns are made in Italy, and have a lot of style and fabulous details. They do not have instructions or seam allowances, so they are more challenging than other sewing patterns. But thankfully Jane’s students have access to her wide knowledge bank!!

Vicki looks great in her denim shirt with perfect top stitching. She used Marfy pattern 9865 which she has had for some time. The buttons were purchased on her Paris trip.

Marfy 2602 pattern

Jeanne made this stunning dress for a July wedding. She found the printed silk chiffon at Britex, and lined it with a matching shade of china silk. The Marfy pattern 2602 has a band of flowers, and she handmade her flowers and added beads. After making some samples, she hemmed the chiffon flounces by folding the fabric over once and working a very tiny zig-zag on and off the fold. Then the extra hem fabric is trimmed away from the wrong side.
