The Barcelona | SEWING PATTERN
The Barcelona sewing pattern is the perfect dress to take you from day to evening with 2 bodice options – a classic boat neck or a sassy V back.
Designed to make a statement in stripes with her chevroned detailed skirt, she is just as delightful in a plain fabric for or make her in an elegant cloth for a chic and glamorous look!
Size: UK 8-18
Skirt length: 64cm / 25¼”
Version A - classic boat neck
Version B - V back
Bound neckline and armholes, in-seam side pockets, invisible zip, bias cut skirt with chevron detail
Fabric Suggestions: Designed with a stripe in mind the Barcelona would also work well in a plain or printed cloth. Use a woven light to medium dress weight fabric with a soft stable handle such as denims, chambrays, linen, fine wools, brocade.
*Soft & drape cloths may require extra ease at hips to allow for the extra dropping that will occur at the hem & it may be advisable to omit the pockets.
Skill Level: Intermediate The Barcelona is aimed at an INTERMEDIATE maker, but it will be an easier project should you choose a plain fabric.
I made these for my slender 14 year old in stretch green pinwale with antique copper hardware. I cut a size 6, added some length to the legs and took 2cm per side width out of the back. The pattern instructions are easy to follow though I would love it if every second size, rather than every size, was printed on one pattern sheet as this would improve ease of cutting. Maaike always sources good quality fabrics and the pinwale is easy to work with.
