Mandy Pickle at Made Whimsy sent me some of her new Dreamy Collection solids to sew up. This beautiful Tangerine was first on my list to sew. I love to wear dolman tops in the fall and winter and decided a New Horizons Dublin Dolman would be perfect, but I wanted the cowl from the Lisse Cowl.
I cut this HTV design out a little over a year ago. I weeded 40 designs while on a cruise last year in September and I'm still working through using them all!
This "Well Behaved Women" cut file is from Thread & Grain. You can buy the cut file or even ready made items with this on it. It's a quote by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.
I immediately saw that this Navy print from Wanderlust went with the tangerine beautifully. I've always loved Blue & Orange colors together.
I wanted maximize my print as much as possible, so I used the tall bottom band on the Dublin Dolman, and went with long sleeves with tangerine cuffs.
When I was cutting the fabric for the front of the Dublin Dolman, I cut the neckline higher than the pattern as I knew the neckline on the Lisse Cowl was higher. I decided to eyeball my cut instead of getting the Lisse Cowl pattern out to copy the neckline.
Luckily, my eyeball was spot on. I measured the cowl pattern piece to my neckline and they were a perfect match. I love the drawstring detail on the Lisse Cowl. I did not add the drawstring on the first Lisse Cowl that I made and I know think I need to go back to it and add it.
The Dublin Dolman is a great pattern with a ton of options. One option I hope to try soon is the gathered v-neck. The Dublin Dolman is great for a variety of knits. I do size up the Dublin Dolman from the bust down to give it a looser, more relaxed fit. The pattern is intended to be more fitted with the revision that released back in May. You can read my blog post about it HERE.
The Lisse Cowl is super cute with a tulip hemline with pleats below the bust. It is also good with most knits, but you do want a knit with some drape, otherwise the tulip bottom can look a bit boxy. You can read my blog post on the first Lisse Cowl that I made HERE. That original blog post was over two years ago when New Horizons went by Terra's Treasures!
I really love how my mashup of the two patterns turned out. I will likely do it again.
