Welcome to our Lamazi Makers Club June Luxury Blog! We are very excited this month to be introducing the last print to our exclusive summer Adventure Collection - Sealife.
Lamazi Fabrics Exclusive - Sealife Linen Viscose Blend fabric
“Sealife” is a conversational print featuring abstract doodles of life under the water in off-white on vibrant blue, or vibrant blue on an off-white background. Perfect for creating elegant garments for the Spring/Summer seasons, to take us away to the dreamiest of destinations.
Lamazi Fabrics Exclusive Collection - Adventure
We are also introducing a new fabric base to our collection. This beautiful Linen Viscose blend is perfect for all your spring and summer makes, and will even see you through to early autumn. Containing 55% Linen and 45% Viscose, this fabric is already used by one of our favourite indie brands and we know you love it!
It is perfect for making tops, shirts, shorts, trousers, dresses, jumpsuits, skirts and lightweight jackets... everything your summer wardrobe needs!
This month we gave you the option of 2 patterns - the Ramona Dress and the Uzma Top by Fibre Mood. Both patterns feature clean lines and simple silhouettes, perfect for showcasing this amazing print!
Ramona Dress
Fibre Mood Ramona Dress
This lovely summer halter dress with bows on the back is guaranteed to become your new favourite. Ramona has a lightly fitted shape, an elegant back neckline and a handy slit for extra movement comfort. All the ingredients for the ideal dress for all outings!
Uzma Top
Fibre Mood Uzma Top and Dahlia Shorts
Uzma goes minimalistic: simple, but perfectly finished. This square neck top is cropped (although the length is easy to adjust), and also lovely and loose. The neckline and armholes are finished with an all in one facing. This requires a little effort but once that's done, you'll have a new top ready in no time.
You can find more inspiration at the end of this blog for what you can make with this fabric.
Tutorials
This month we are taking things right back to the beginning with a super helpful tutorial on how to choose the correct size for your project. This is something you can take with you every time you make a new pattern, and something that can trip up even the most experienced sewists.
You can find the video tutorial here.
The Ramona Dress features a beautiful bias bound neckline and armscye. You can find our tutorial for a clean bias finish here.
Top Tip - The armscye on the Ramona Dress is very 'steep' and prone to stretching. Instead of topstitching you can use fusible bias tape or thin strips of interfacing to stabilise this area.
The Uzma Top is the perfect beginner project, or for the more experienced sewist just what you need for a quick 'palette cleanser' or for those last minute 'I need something new' moments.
We have recorded a sew along for this pattern to help you speed through it, along with a tip for keeping the shoulder straps in place. Find our sew along here.
Sewing Tool
The sewing tool included in your Luxury Bag this month are super cute scissors and sewing notebook from Lise Tailor or the sewing labels. These adorable heart shaped scissors will take pride of place in your sewing space.
However don't let their pretty appearance fool you, they are sharp!! We have used them for snipping into seams, trimming edges on the ties of the Ramona and marking our tailor tacks. See them in action here.
