does anyone remember the name of the sari? that was worn a lot last year it was a sarong type thing that when you brought one corner across and on shoulder and same with other arm it turned into quite a nice dress that could take you from beach to bar. their only downfall was their price roughly £25 a go. i have started dressmaking lessons and would love to bring pic into class and find out if i could make, they look so easy (mind you doesnt everything until you actually start doing it) lol

Is this it? I've seen them advertised a lot recently on TV and was thinking just the same thing about running one up on the sewing machine!

yeah thanks thats the one, well seeing as how the long one costs £34.99 and i bought enough material to make 2 for £3.75 at local market am verry happy girl. only 2 problems to tackle first and most important need to learn to sew more than just straight lines and secodly to try and find a pattern of sorts to show to my class so that maybe we can run up a few maybe?0 -
I'd love to have a go at one of these aswell - if you find a pattern could you post details? Thanks!0

Have you seen the advert for the latest one The Saress shows the lady holding it out in front of her and then she takes one loop over to the opposite shoulder and then does the same with the other and instantly has a dress.If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect....................................
Why practice!:T0 -
i dont have a pattern but it should be quite easy to adapt a standard dress pattern as I would expect it to contain 1 back panel and a 2 front panels one attached either side of the back panel0

i still have not found a pattern and was hoping to have hunted mine out so they could have worked from that but cant find it....:(:(:(0
